520 _aAccording to the European Commission competition law, enforcement has to be based on an effects-based approach on the American antitrust model. The logic underlying this approach should lead to maximizing consumer welfare must be the exclusive criterion, according to the prescriptions of the Chicago School. Here, we consider the history of the American antitrust policy in order to analyze how this model has become predominant and demonstrate that alternative criteria, such as distributive justice or the control of private economic power, have been or may still be chosen to compete with the consumer welfare approach.
