About the Speakers:

Conor Quigley is a leading barrister with Brick Court Chambers in London and specialises in European and competition law. He has appeared in many leading cases in the High Court, Court of Appeal, House of Lords, Court of First Instance and the European Court of Justice and has been involved in investigations and complaints before the European Commission and the Office of Fair Trading.

About the Speeches:

As banks and industry struggle to cope with the financial crisis many EU governments have been forced to resort to state support schemes. During this period of rapidly undertaken state aid programmes, the Commission has attempted to promote economic stability and legal certainty, while also ensuring that state aid plans do not lead to protectionism and the undermining of the Single Market.

Mr. Quigley addressed the theme of tackling the distortions of competition caused by State aid to the financial sector. He compared the rescue/restructuring measures that have been adopted in a different Member States, including consideration of the different contexts and legal issues arising from these measures.
