Notiunea de întreprindere în dreptul concurentei

European competition law refers to the activities of undertakings. Although the treaty does not define the concept of an undertaking, the European Court of Justice has consistently held that any entity engaged in an economic activity, irrespective of its legal form and the way in which it is financed, must be categorised as an undertaking. Any activity consisting in offering goods or services on a given market is an economic activity. According to the case-law of the Court of Justice, activities which fall within the exercise of public powers are not of an economic nature justifying the application of the treaty rules of competition.
