Scholar David Gerber pointed out two impacts of the US antitrust law to the EU
competition law. First, following World War II, the US authorities implemented antitrust
rules within the Occupied German Territories. Second, German Ordoliberal scholars, known
as Freiburg School, worked on the role of competition law as effective regulation of
competition. See: Gerber, David J. Law and Competition in Twentieth Century Europe:
Protecting Prometheus. Oxford University Press, 2001. - P.233-265.
