Under EU competition law, an "undertaking" is any entity engaged in economic activity, regardless of its legal status or the way it is financed. A lawyer offering services for a fee is engaged in economic activity and thus considered an undertaking. A commercial agent and a subsidiary with no independent decision-making power are not considered separate undertakings.
