- procedure before national competition authorities and national courts for enforcement of European rules under Regulation 1/2003;
- the new Merger Control Regulation in force as of 1 May 2004;
- the new Transfer of Technology Regulation; and
- the increased fines for hard-core cartel practices or abuse of dominant market position.
