Summary/Abstract: It may well be that the Gazprom anti-trust case launched by DG Competition on September 4th will turn out to be the landmark anti-trust case of this decade, as Microsoft was of the last decade. The argument of this paper is that, for a host of political and economic reasons, this case is likely to be hard fought by both sides to a final prohibition decision and then onwards into the EU courts.
