It should be noted that the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter referred to as the Court) always discretionarily decides if a certain action should be regarded as a criminal offence. The author of the present article discusses the criterions for such decisions of the Court and analyzes the question whether the EC competition proceedings based on the Regulation No. 1/2003 and developed in the case law of the Court correspond to those criterions (in other words, whether, according to the case law of the Court, the EC competition proceedings should be regarded as criminal). Also the major change in the case law of the EC courts on this issue is presented. After a review of the current situation the changes made by the Lisbon Treaty regarding the issue under investigation are reviewed and the complexity of the issue of the future case law of the Court relevant to such changes is stressed. The article ends with a summary of the analyzed issues and conclusions drawn from the results of the investigation.
