The Antitrust Writing Awards must be congratulated for its initiative of promoting the exchange of knowledge and research in competition policy. It was an unparalleled opportunity to be a member of the Board and present the Best Soft Law category. I feel honored and I commend Concurrences for organizing such an important endeavor.
