Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The implementation doctrine is a principle of EU competition law that holds that an anti-competitive agreement, decision, or concerted practice is subject to EU competition law if it is implemented within the EU, regardless of where it was entered into. Therefore, choice B is the correct statement as it accurately describes the implementation doctrine. Choices A and C are incorrect as they misrepresent the principle by suggesting that implementation must occur exclusively within the EU or that implementation outside the EU is covered by the implementation doctrine.
