		<description><![CDATA[Economic analysis has improved the application of EU competition law in many respects. But this article argues that economic analysis has not had major material implications with regard to policy definition or case handling.

Actual cases on predatory  prices are also infrequent/rare [1],  because there is a feeling that it is particularly difficult for a competition  authority to determine the [...]]]></description>
