Abstract

The powers of enforcing investigative measures by the competition authorities have been established widely in Competition Law. These wide powers given to the competition administrative authorities can enter in conflict with different fundamental rights of undertakings when the investigations take place. The critical analysis of how this type of investigations should be carry on and which fundamental rights of undertakings could be affected, regarded with the formal requests for information that undertakings should provide to the competition authorities; and what is the scope and limits of the powers of investigation of the competition authorities, are the main purpose of this article.
