Comity in the European Union Law

Concept of Comity provided by the “Glossary of terms used in EU competition policy” (Antitrust and control of concentrations, published in 2002): Principle applied in the field of international cooperation on compe-tition policy. By negative comity, every country that is party to a coop-eration agreement guarantees to take account of the important inter-ests of the other parties to the agreement when applying its own competition law. By positive comity, a country may ask the other parties to the agreement to take appropriate measures, under their competition law, against anti-competitive behaviour taking place on their territory that affects important interests of the requesting country.
