I don’t understand your first paragraph.

The EU has competition law (like the USA to be honest). Competition law is a lot broader than simply being against monopoly which is why I don’t understand why you mention monopolies. Monopolies are an extreme form of disfunction in competitive markets. There are a lot of emphasis on market dominance in the EU law which is itself a concept broader than monopolies. A monopoly is necessary a dominant player so would fall under all the provision of article 102, yes.

Fair enough. So in that way the EU does have an antimonopoly law, it’s just covered by a broader category that happens to encompass monopolies.
