Abstract

This article examines the evolving role of behavioural remedies in antitrust enforcement and their increasing convergence with regulatory approaches. Based on a typology of remedy design, it identifies a continuum from rule-based injunctions to adaptive conduct obligations that resemble sectoral regulation. While dynamic markets - particularly in the digital economy - may justify greater flexibility, we argue that unconstrained discretion or permanent oversight risks transforming antitrust into de facto regulation. The paper proposes a framework for implementing bounded flexibility through predefined revision mechanisms, ensuring remedies remain both effective and consistent with competition principles. By delineating the frontier between competition law and regulation, this analysis contributes to ongoing debates on the proper institutional scope of antitrust enforcement
