Abstract
This Paper argues that the demarcations of public power arrived at in EC competition law by the Court and the Commission, while sensitive to State prerogatives, reveal a picture of State incapacity rather than capacity; freezing the state out of the market rather than deliberating any, however attractive, subtle balance of constitutionalised private governance. We progress from a review of the place of competition within the Treaty and a broader consideration of the policy framework (Section I). Attention then turns to what are identified as the three degrees of State Incapacity: (1) the State’s regulatory role (Section II); (2) the state and the exercise of the public authority function (Section III); (3) elaborating the public interest in the provision of services of general economic interest (Section IV).
