Yes when done based on speculation, corruption, and bribery.

When decissions are maded based on those factors - you're not a winner, you're a loser.

Go investigated the above stated cases. Look into how the commission is selected, who they invite for interview, which companies they meet with, and to who the commission is accountable.

All my 'proof' is heresay, but I believe their word over an unaccountable commission.

They are selected by the memberstates, approved by the european parliament. So unlike your member of the administration they dont have to rely heavily on corporate contributions.

I havent followed every one of their anti trust cases closely, but the ones i have followed somewhat closely i must say that they rather did too litle than too much...

Here some sources for you on the EU decission on the GE/Honeywell merger (approved both by USA and Canadian anti-trust commissions and completely rejected by EU):

Economist take on the Commission:
"Will the real Mario Monti please stand up?"

To which the answer three year later seems to be "No he will not".
