Agricultural policy and EU competition law

This book focuses on the question of whether European agricultural legislation and competition rules offer any scope for self-regulation in the European dairy market. Within this larger question, certain sub-questions also arise: what are the relevant legal rules applicable to the dairy market, and what type of self-regulation is possible within the present legal framework?

The book offers a number of suggestions for modification of agricultural and competition policies in order to better serve the interests of dairy farmers.
