Competition litigation sources for current awareness are as follows:
Subscription services
Bloomberg - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/europe/ (although a subscription service, there is free news available)
MLex: http://www.mlex.com (email based service)
Comments from a MLex subscriber :-
Select practice/industry areas (from a list which includes competition), to receive emails in real time on all news/updates relating to that industry/practice area. This will include cases but is much broader in coverage. For cases, a real plus point is that judgments are often available via MLex first, even if the copy itself is not in English. The MLex database provides a full archive so is a useful research tool.
MLex is good for case alerts - it reports on cases at the end of each day, compared to PLC Competition EU which reports on a case the next day. Mlex is expensive but it does get a lot of other news that the rival sources don't get. Mlex is also good for analysis - they have case files so you can just type in a cartel case name or subject and there is a 'bundle' of documents relating that case - EC statements and press releases, news reports etc. (It is very highly thought of by lawyers and seems to be a key alerting service for competition law).
