COURT ANNULS COMPETITION AUTHORITY DECISION ON MASTERCARD INTERCHANGE FEES
27 October 2011
The Administrative Court of Lazio has annulled the Competition Authority's decision against MasterCard's domestic interchange fees. This is the first case in which the court, following the European Court of Justice's precedent in Alrosa, has limited the authority's broad discretion in rejecting undertakings and has annulled one of its decisions solely because the parties' undertakings were unlawfully rejected.
