[en] This presentation analyses to what extent the fundamental right to a fair trial has been instrumental in shaping or modifying the structure of national competition and financial market authorities in five States (the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium). Submitting that the ECtHR and the CJEU have succeeded in imposing a limited number of administrative organisation templates on administrative authorities and uncovering the limits of that approach, it will call for a more fundamental reflection on the risks and opportunities associated with inter- and supranational courts establishing, in a bottom-up fashion, administrative organisation templates subsequently imposed on States.
