	law.com - 'Super Mario' Monti's Tangled Legacy
		Monti had his setbacks in those court defeats but was able to limit the damage by viewing them as a challenge.
		Monti dismantled the all-powerful, notoriously arrogant merger task force and replaced it with sector-specific antitrust units; appointed Lars-Hendrik Röller as chief economist; and called for regular use of "devil's advocate panels" in which officials not involved in a particular case look over a file with a fresh set of eyes.
		Monti denied that was the case, insisting that regulators have learned from setbacks in the course, though acknowledging it may appear that the commission has taken a less aggressive approach toward mergers.

	Finance & Development, June 2005 - People in Economics - Super Mario and the Temple of Learning
		Monti is credited with strengthening the role of economic analysis in EU competition enforcement, a field mostly dominated by lawyers.
		Monti cites in particular the Institute for International Economics in Washington, where he is a member of the board of directors.
		One of Monti´s pet themes is that Europe is well-placed to shape the institutions of globalization because of its experience at the European level of building new institutions of governance and policy coordination.

	Mario Monti: Europe's trust-busting king - Oct. 10, 2000
		Monti is now at center stage as the European Union's Competition Commissioner, and is due to decide Wednesday on whether the world's biggest deal, America Online Inc.'s (AOL: Research, Estimates) takeover of Time Warner Inc. (TWX: Research, Estimates), should proceed.
		Antitrust lawyers say Monti, 57, only 13 months into his tenure as Europe's leading antitrust chief, is likely to develop on work of his predecessor Karel Van Miert, a media-savvy Dutchman whose tenure was cut short after a scandal led to the resignation of the entire commission last year.
		Monti has talked tough on the recent country-by-country auctions of next-generation phone licenses, telling telecom operators that just because they are shelling out massive sums of money in the land grab, they won't be able to pass on those high costs to consumers under his watch.

		Monti, 61, still has to decide whether to bless - or veto - the combination of the music units of Sony and Bertelsmann, a deal that would create the second-largest record company in the world, behind Vivendi's Universal Music Group.
		Monti revisited the subject of a 2001 investigation: possible price fixing and collusion among the world's top music companies, which charge different amounts for the same product in different countries and have long appeared to be in lock step.
		Monti's list of objections said he was concerned mainly with the effect the deal would have on the diversity of music and artists to be offered and how the music would be priced.

	The full Monti \| Tech News on ZDNet
		Monti's star began rising in the European economic and political scene in 1985, when he joined the commission's macroeconomic policy group.
		If Monti approaches the facts and technical issues in a case with caution, he has not been shy in applying the law decisively based on his analyses--a trait that struck home clearly in Wednesday's decision as well as in the GE-Honeywell case.
		Recent events have made Monti acutely cognizant of the appeals court, according to one attorney who asked not to be named, and that, in the end, could be Microsoft's greatest reason to fear the commission and his findings.

	The American Lawyer/Focus Europe
		Two years ago Mario Monti, who heads the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission, was the most feared antitrust cop in the world.
		Monti is tangibly addressing the very concerns that lawyers for GE aired two years ago: a casual approach to economics, a cavalier attitude toward evidence, and above all, a disregard for the rights of the defense ["Deal Breaker," The American Lawyer, September 2001].
		Monti has taken flak mainly because he is a convenient symbol, and his name is catchier than that of the institution he leads.

	BBC NEWS \| Business \| Mario Monti: Merger man on a mission
		Mario Monti is most famous for shooting mergers down in flames.
		The court's ruling, which argued in uncompromising tones that Mr Monti's staff did not know what they were doing, opens the way for a flood of appeals - most embarrassingly, perhaps, from General Electric and Honeywell, two US firms whose merger plans Mr Monti spectacularly torpedoed last year.
		Until the court overturned the first of Mr Monti's merger rulings this summer, his no-nonsense approach was seen as just the sort of stringency that big companies needed.

	Division of Labour: Mario Monti receives Hayek prize
		Mario Monti, the former European Union commissioner for antitrust policy, on Sunday received the Friedrich August von Hayek International prize for 2005.
		The choice of Monti is a bit surprising considering that, in his role as a trust-busting bureaucrat last year, Monti famously “levied a 497 million euro ($596 million) fine [against Microsoft] after ruling that the company had unfairly wielded its market power against rivals.” He also worked to block a merger between GE and Honeywell.
		Maybe the choice of Monti isn't so surprising, given that the 2003 winner was Otmar Issing, who explicitly rejects Hayek's views on the denationalization of money.

		Today, Mario Monti, the European Competition Commissioner, issued his ruling in the long-running case against Microsoft, fining the American software giant $613.4m (497m), the heaviest punishment in any European competition case to date.
		Monti ruled that Microsoft had failed to provide information to rivals which they needed to compete fairly in the market for server software.
		Monti said that the company now has 120 days to provide the information that rival server makers need to compete fairly, and that it must continue to update this information in the future.

		Speaking at a packed press conference in Brussels to announce the EC's ruling, competition commissioner Mario Monti said that during the course of the investigation it became clear that formal procedures were needed for such cases.
		While Monti acknowledged that such antitrust investigations could not go ahead without some initial analysis, he said the case had established a framework for defining the conduct that should be observed by "a very dominant company such that their position the market is not abused".
		Monti warned against placing too much emphasis on the value of the 497m fine handed out to Microsoft, even though it is the largest ever levied by the EC against a company.

		Monti's big case against Microsoft is on appeal and wending its way through the EU court system.
		According to press reports from Italy, Monti got caught up in Italy's Byzantine political scene and is losing his EU commissioner's post to Italy's European affairs minister; the new regulatory chief is likely to be less aggressive and less confrontational to business, sources said.

		But what cemented Monti's reputation as a Brussels behemoth was his dismissal last year of the proposed $42 billion merger between General Electric Co. (GE) and Honeywell International Inc. (HON), a combination that had quickly passed muster with U.S. regulators and earned praise from Wall Street.
		Days later, Monti and his fellow commissioners sued the EU's national governments, which are bucking Brussels' mandates to cut subsidies on everything from development for blighted neighborhoods in Britain to Portuguese pig farms.
		Monti responds brusquely that his job is to press for fair competition, not prop up local companies.
