The competition law of the European Union and the competition law of each Member State are overlapping one another.

The present work compares the MasterCard Decision of the Commission of the E.U. and the 2009 decision of the Hungarian Competition Authority concerning multilateral interchange fees. It highlights the most important problems and critiques regarding the later decision.
