Light lunch (sandwiches) will be served to those who have registered for the seminar.
Björn Lundqvist will discuss his recent paper (draft article) triggered by the recently delivered preliminary ruling by the CJEU in the Compass case (C-138/11). The case is important since it raises difficult questions regarding when a public sector body should benefit from the application of EU competition law and it is specifically interesting for those public sector bodies that create the essential information needed for the growing Public Sector Information industry. The main issue discussed in the paper is when public sector bodies should be considered "undertakings" under EU competition law; the substantive issue being whether the specific conduct under scrutiny is an economic activity or not.
Björn Lundqvist is Associate Professor at Copenhagen Business School and guest lecturer at Stockholm University.
Gustaf Johnssén is Kansliråd, Socialdepartementet, enheten för statlig förvaltning (Deputy Director, Ministry of Social Affairs, Unit of Government Administration).
