TY - JOUR AU - Rivas AB - Dear Reader, As Editor of World Competition I am pleased to start the June 2011 issue by announcing the winner of the Young Writers Award 2010: Suleyman Parlak. His article, entitled Passing-on Defence and Indirect Purchaser Standing: Should the Passing-on Defence Be Rejected Now the Indirect Purchaser Has Standing after Manfredi and the White Paper of the European Commission? was published in our March 2010 Issue. It was felt that this article has made an important contribution to the debate surrounding private enforcement in Europe. This article analysed the two interrelated questions of passing-on defence and indirect purchaser standing. It explores the differences between the approach taken by the US courts and the approach proposed by the European Commission within the limits of the case law of the EU Courts. On behalf of World Competition I congratulate the Author. Our first article comes from one of our greatest contributors, Hearing Officer Wouter Wils.1 The article draws a thorough picture of investigative and decision making powers of the European Commission and National Competition Authorities in the enforcement of Articles 101 and 102 TFEU. The article focuses on the Procedural Guarantees and Rights that constrain those enforcement powers.
