New bulletins for September

Our September bulletins cover a wide range of issues from late-running trains to the electronic communication standards of the future and are now available to download.

The first of this batch, First class performance, describes how Frontier's recent modelling work for the Department for Transport has created a deeper understanding of the causes of delays that could help to improve punctuality in the future.

In Measure for measure we outline some of the ways we have helped our clients to ensure economic impact studies are both effective and credible.

The use of competition law to require Microsoft to publish information that will facilitate interoperability of IT systems has been controversial, but in Raising the standards we look at how under the telecoms framework directive the European Commission has greater power to intervene and set mandatory technical standards for the interoperability of electronic communications without any prior finding of an abuse of market power.

Sticking with competition policy, Surgery or medicine? looks at the different types of remedy that are used to address competition concerns raised by mergers, and the circumstances in which they are appropriate.

Finally, in Money to Burn we look at the new EU trading scheme for carbon emissions and the reasons why the price of allowances has been so volatile.
