Article 101 TFEU prohibits anticompetitive agreements, decisions by associations of undertakings, and concerted practices that may affect trade between Member States and prevent, restrict, or distort competition within the internal market. Article 102 TFEU prohibits abuse of a dominant position within the internal market or a substantial part of it. The European Commission—specifically the <strong>Directorate-General for Competition (DG COMP)</strong> —is the primary enforcer, exercising powers of investigation, decision, and sanction, subject to review by the <strong>General Court</strong> and the <strong>Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU)</strong> .</p>
