摘要

歐盟競爭法中禁止企業濫用優勢地位，為維護內部市場秩序的重要規範之一，適用於歐盟各項產業；但由於醫藥業因為具有其經濟、社會保險、安全與健康等重要影響，所以受到會員國國家的嚴格管制，也因此造就歐盟藥品市場為一受到國家干預的不完全競爭市場；在此情形下，歐盟又受限於條約賦予的有限職權，無法有效的協調整合會員國在醫藥規範之分歧，加上藥品專利保護的強烈需求作用下，使醫藥業具有不同於其他的特殊性。
而且根據本文對於目前相關案例的判決過程之分析，證明歐盟醫藥業仍然適用競爭法的規範，但在滿足歐盟運作條約第102 條之法定構成要件時，容易產生判別上的困難；除此之外，檢驗相關案例的判決結果，第一起醫藥業濫用市場優勢地位的AstraZeneca 案現階段仍未有終局判決，而Syfait 案與Lélos案又以「非當然濫用市場優勢地位」作結，證明醫藥業的行為是否能確實構成濫用優勢地位實屬不易。
