The latest issue of the World Competition journal includes several significant contributions that address various aspects of competition law. One notable article by Michael J. Frese discusses the European Commission's powers to collect documents during investigations under Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The article emphasizes the importance of understanding the limits of these powers to manage enforcement risks effectively.

Another article by Khaled S. Al-Rashidi examines the recent decriminalization of cartel activity in Kuwait, highlighting a shift from criminal prohibition to a regulatory framework with administrative sanctions. This change contrasts with the global trend towards criminalizing cartel behavior and raises questions about the implications for market competition in Kuwait.

Ciara Denihan's article focuses on the position of solo self-employed persons under Article 101 TFEU, analyzing the effectiveness of new guidelines introduced by the European Commission. The guidelines aim to address the imbalance of bargaining power and provide legal certainty for self-employed individuals seeking to collectively bargain.

Lastly, Sayyeda Fatima discusses the role of appellate forums in competition cases in Pakistan, identifying challenges in the current judicial system and suggesting improvements to strengthen the enforcement of competition law. The article emphasizes the need for a robust jurisprudence in competition law to ensure effective oversight of competition authorities.
