V Beyond the GAR team and Queen Mary, University of London, I would like to thank the former President of the European Court of First Instance, Bo Vesterdorf for producing a most interesting article for this issue and for honouring us with his acceptance to deliver the ICC Annual Competition Law and Policy Lecture 2008. Special thanks must also go to the law firms Crowell & Moring and Simmons&Simmons for generous financial support. In particular I would like to thank Dr Werner Berg and Mr Charles Bankes; in both of them the ICC has two major friends and affiliated members. Five of the articles featuring in this issue are based on presentations made by their authors at the ICC International PhD conference, which was held on 7 March 2008.This event proved to be a resounding success and a unique occasion for students to test their ideas in practice and interact with other students and specialists in the field. I am grateful to Judge Frederic Jenny, Professor David Gerber and Mr Paul Lasok QC for chairing three of the sessions on the day. The conference participants and especially the presenters appreciated such an opportunity enormously.The comments offered by the panel of chairs have clearly contributed towards enhancing the quality of the articles featuring in this issue. Finally, special thanks should go to present and former colleagues at the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal. They have been extremely supportive of the ICC and its activities this year; in particular Mr Adam Scott who has kindly written an obituary for our late colleague and friend, Ms Marion Simmons QC. Marion was a most loyal friend of the ICC and a most proud alumna of our college.We are proud and honoured to dedicate this issue to her. Maher M. Dabbah June 2008
VI EDITORIAL BOARD’S MESSAGE It gives us particular pleasure to be able to publish this first issue of the ICC Global Antitrust Review (GAR). GAR is intended to be a unique journal, a platform for students to engage in research and writing in the field of competition law. It comes to benefit both its authors (by giving them an opportunity to produce their research output) and its audience, young scholars especially students of competition law; though we also hope that other groups within the competition law community globally would find the content of the Review of use. The present issue brings together excellent contributions produced by a number of outstanding young scholars; additionally it features an article by Judge Bo Vesterdorf who kindly agreed to enrich the issue with his valuable thoughts on the underlying themes of the Microsoft judgment. We would like to thank Judge Vesterdorf and our team of authors for their contributions. All of the articles herein address the ‘issues of the moment’ in the field of competition law. They were carefully selected so GAR can hopefully fulfil its expected role as a publication seeking to promote competition law and policy debate around the world.The articles were all refereed to ensure that GAR would be a journal of the highest quality.We are grateful to all the referees who devoted considerable amount of their time to read through all the articles submitted for consideration. The journey towards publishing this issue has certainly been long and on more than one occasion we faced such high ‘waves’, which only made our task more challenging. Through sticking together and supporting each other as a team however, we were able to overcome these waves and to sail safely into our destination. It has been a most enjoyable process for us from which we came to learn a great deal.We were also able to reap perhaps the most important of benefits: friendship among us for surely many years to come. We dedicate our special thank you to the one who made this initiative and experience possible for us: the director of the ICC, Maher Dabbah. He supported us in every possible way and has been both our leader and our friend. We hope that our audience and young scholars of competition law globally in particular would find this issue useful and we look forward to hearing from anyone who would be interested in expressing a view on what we achieved here; and certainly we look forward to receiving potential contributions for the next issue of GAR.
