Opis:
Since the time when the first competition rules were adopted after the Velvet Revolution in early 1990s, Slovak competition law has undergone several changes. Three acts on economic competition were subsequently adopted (in 1991, 1994, 2001), each of them several times amended. Although Slovakia became a member of the EU in 2004, the convergence of national competition rules with the law of the European Union is evident in the significant changes that were introduced in 2004. The evolution of Slovak competition rules cannot be considered finished – major amendments are expected in 2014. The following paper will analyze in which aspects Slovak competition law is diverging from the rules of the European Union. Court jurisprudence reviewing administrative decisions issued in competition matters is also important in the assessment of the competition law environment. The paper will provide an overview of those features of Slovak competition law that shall be harmonised, as well as reasons for their harmonisations. Yet it must be stressed that European law is not the universal model of convergence and hence the paper will provide thoughts on which features of Slovak competition law might remain country-specific.
Depuis l'époque où les premières règles de concurrence ont été adoptées après la Révolution de velours en début des années 1990, le droit slovaque de la concurrence a subi plusieurs changements: trois actes sur la concurrence économique ont été adoptés par la suite (1991, 1994, 2001); chacun d'entre eux a également été modifié à plusieurs reprises. Bien que la Slovaquie soit devenue membre de l'UE en 2004, la convergence du droit slovaque de la concurrence vers des règles européennes de concurrence est évidente et des changements importants ont été introduits en 2004. Les modifications de la législation slovaque en matière de la concurrence ne peuvent pas être considérées comme terminées – les modifications considérables sont attendues en 2014. Le présent article analysera dans quels aspects le droit slovaque de la concurrence est divergent. De plus, la jurisprudence des tribunaux, examinant les cas en matière de la concurrence, est importante dans l'évaluation de l'environnement de la réglementation de la concurrence. Cet article offre un aperçu des caractéristiques du droit slovaque de la concurrence qui doit être harmonisé, ainsi que les raisons pour ces harmonisations. D'autre part, il faut souligner que le droit européen n'est pas le modèle universel de convergence et donc l’article présentera des pensées sur lesquelles les caractéristiques du droit national de la concurrence pourraient rester spécifique.

Opis:
In order to facilitate national competition authorities (NCAs) in their application of EU competition rules, the EU legislator adopted Directive 2019/1/EU. The Directive’s aim is to empower the competition authorities of the Member States to be more effective enforcers of competition law and to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market. The so-called ECN+ Directive introduces minimum harmonisation rules allowing competition authorities to have common investigative, decision-making (notably fining decisions) and enforcement powers. The Directive, furthermore, sets minimum safeguards for the NCAs’ independence, accountability and resources as well as harmonizes leniency programmes including the coordination of national leniency programmes with each other and with that of the European Commission. This paper critically analyzes the legal and policy developments that paved the way for the adoption of this Directive. Moreover, it examines the changes the implementation of the Directive is likely to generate in current Hungarian law and policy of competition protection. The focus of the paper’s assessment is on the institutional aspects of the Directive and the enforcement of Articles 101 and 102 TFEU, in particular the mechanisms for ensuring independence and accountability of the NCAs. Through the assessment of the Hungarian implementation, the paper aims to shed light on a broader context of the Directive and the enforcement of EU competition law in EU Member States. The paper shows that the implementation of the Directive may fail to translate into (more) effective enforcement without an effective institutional capacity on the side of the NCAs, and in the broader legal and constitutional context of competition law and its multilevel enforcement.
Pour faciliter l’application des règles de concurrence de l’UE par les autorités nationales de concurrence, le législateur européen a adopté la directive 2019/1/UE. L’objectif de la directive est de permettre aux autorités de concurrence des États membres d’être plus efficaces dans l’application du droit de la concurrence et d’assurer le bon fonctionnement du marché intérieur. La directive dite «ECN+» définit des règles minimales d’harmonisation permettant aux autorités de concurrence de disposer de pouvoirs communs d’enquête, de décision (notamment en matière d’amendes) et d’exécution. En outre, la directive fixe des guaranties minimales pour l’indépendance, la responsabilité et les ressources des ANC, harmonise les programmes de clémence, y compris la coordination des programmes nationaux de clémence entre eux et entre ces programmes et ceux de la Commission européenne. Le présent article analyse de manière critique les développements juridiques et politiques qui ont ouvert la voie à l’adoption de la directive. En outre, il examine les changements que la mise en oeuvre de la directive est susceptible de générer dans la législation et la politique hongroises actuelles en matière de protection de la concurrence. Au centre de l’évaluation du présent document figurent les aspects institutionnels de la directive et l’application des articles 101 et 102 du TFUE, en particulier les mécanismes garantissant l’indépendance et la responsabilité des ANC. Grâce à l’évaluation de la transposition hongroise, le présent article vise à clarifier le contexte plus large de la directive et de l’application du droit communautaire de la concurrence dans les États membres de l’UE. L’article montre que la mise en oeuvre de la directive pourrait ne pas se traduire par une application (plus) efficace sans une capacité institutionnelle effective de la part des ANC et dans le contexte juridique et constitutionnel plus large du droit de la concurrence et son application à plusieurs niveaux.

impact of EU competition rules
Opis:
This paper provides a study of the impact of EU competition rules on Lithuanian legislation and legal practice. It was found therein that the Lithuanian law on competition, its competition authority and courts do not adhere to all objectives of EU competition law consistently. In Lithuania, the most followed objectives of EU competition law are primarily that of the internal market and consumer welfare. The European Commission looks at both: competition and the creation and preservation of the internal market, as promoting consumer welfare and an efficient allocation of resources; it proclaims that the role of competition law is to prevent harm to consumers. The Lithuanian law on competition fully corresponds to the provisions of the Treaty. Full compliance is endorsed by the National Competition Authority while Lithuanian courts strive to maintain such policy by referring to the internal market and consumer welfare standards. Both the Lithuanian competition authority and its courts defend consumer welfare from higher prices, reduced output, less choice or lower quality of goods or services, or diminished innovation. Existing legislation and other procedural rules entitle the competition authority and courts of Lithuania to enforce competition law without significant obstacles. Applicable procedures ensure transparent, independent, and professional decision-making by the competition authority, confidentiality, as well as an effective process of investigation and information collection. The Commission's move towards the realignment of competition law with modern economic thinking on efficiency and welfare has begun. It entails not just the adoption of the consumer welfare standard, but also the application of the 'effects' approach. However, EU Courts have not been unambiguously following the consumer welfare standard, as endorsed by the Commission. They protect competitors themselves, rather than competition, ruling in favour of small or medium-sized firms in order to keep markets open and achieve fairness. They tend to protect the structure of the market from indirect possible long-term effects on consumers, rather than just from immediate direct effect on them. Some evidence was found of a 'more economic' approach being applied over the last decade as it started to find its way into the enforcement of Lithuanian competition law. Although this trend is likely to increase in the future, it is, nevertheless, still not the prevailing approach in Lithuania. At the same time, the national competition authority and courts strictly follow the guidelines and communications of the Commission on this issue.
Dans cet article, les auteurs présentent une étude de l'impact des règles de concurrence de l'UE sur la loi et la pratique juridique lituaniennes. Les auteurs ont constaté que le droit de la concurrence, l'autorité administrative et les tribunaux de la Lituanie ne respectent pas tous les objectifs du droit communautaire de la concurrence d’une manière uniforme. En Lituanie, les objectifs les plus suivis du droit de la concurrence de l'UE sont principalement ceux du marché unique et du bien-être des consommateurs. La Commission européenne examine à la fois la concurrence, la création et la préservation du marché unique autant que la promotion du bien-être des consommateurs et une allocation efficace des ressources. Elle proclame le rôle du droit de la concurrence dans la prévention des dommages faites aux consommateurs. En Lituanie, la loi sur la concurrence correspond pleinement aux traités de l'UE. Cette conformité est approuvée par l'autorité administrative. Les tribunaux de la Lituanie s'efforcent de maintenir cette politique en faisant appel aux normes du marché et de la protection des consommateurs individuels. En Lituanie, l'autorité administrative et les tribunaux défendent le bien-être des consommateurs contre la hausse des prix, la baisse de la production, la limitation du choix ou la détérioration de la qualité des biens ou des services, ou la diminution de l'innovation. Tous les actes juridiques et autres règles de procédure permettent à l'autorité administrative et aux tribunaux de la Lituanie d’appliquer l'appareil de droit de la concurrence sans obstacles importants. Les procédures prévues assurent que les décisions sont prises d’une façon transparente, indépendante et professionnelle par l'autorité administrative, autant que la confidentialité et l’efficacité du processus d’enquête et de collecte de l'information requise sont maintenues. La démarche de la Commission vers la réorganisation du droit de la concurrence en conformité avec la pensée économique moderne sur l'efficacité et le bien-être a commencé. Elle implique non seulement l'adoption de la norme de protection des consommateurs, mais aussi l'approche «effets» à l'application de celle-ci. Toutefois, les juridictions de l'UE n'ont pas été sans ambiguïté en suivant le concept de la norme de protection des consommateurs adopté par la Commission; ils protègent les concurrents eux-mêmes plutôt que la concurrence, en faveur des petites et moyennes entreprises, afin de maintenir l'ouverture des marchés et d’atteindre l'équité; ils ont tendance à protéger la structure du marché avec des effets sur les consommateurs qui serions indirects et possibles à long terme, et pas seulement à l'effet direct et immédiat. Les auteurs ont trouvé des preuves de l'approche «plus économique» au cours de la dernière décennie. Il a commencé à trouver sa place dans l'application du droit de la concurrence de la Lituanie. Cette tendance semble à augmenter. Cependant, il ne reste encore pas en vigueur dans l'approche de l'autorité administrative et les tribunaux. En Lituanie, l'autorité administrative et les tribunaux suivent les directives et les communiqués de la Commission sur cette question strictement.

Opis:
The Serbian Competition Act , which has been in force since November 2009, was amended in 2013 in order to improve the effective enforcement of competition rules by the Commission for Protection of Competition (hereinafter, the Commission or Competition Commission), and to further harmonise national regulations with the EU acquis in the area of protection of competition. The 2009 Competition Act (hereianfter, the Act), which introduced some modern competition protection concepts into the Serbian legal system, had certain deficiencies which hindered the practical application of the statute and, consequently, effective enforcement by the Commission. In addition to the existing provisions of the Act, the legislator introduced a novelty that will, beyond any doubt, produce considerable effects on the Commission's actions in deciding on competition infringement cases. The novelty concerns the introduction of the so-called commitment procedure, which allows the Commission to close a competition infringement case by accepting commitments offered by the undertakings concerned, without establishing whether there has been an infringement. The instrument has turned out to be exceptionally effective in closing proceedings before the competition authorities of the EU and the Member States.

Opis:
The last three years have been very dynamic for the competition authority in Serbia. The newly elected Council and President of the Commission for Protection of Competition (Serbian NCA) have brought a much-needed change to competition enforcement in Serbia, shifting the focus of enforcement from solely individual cases, to looking at the bigger picture and promoting competition law compliance as the preferred business model. During this period, the Serbian NCA has published several soft-law instruments, issuing its first Guidelines for Drafting compliance programmes, accompanied by a Template compliance programme and two compliance Checklists, aimed at identifying competition law related risks. These materials, meant to raise competition law awareness, were accompanied by vigorous advocacy activities in promoting competition law compliance. The overall aim was to foster voluntary compliance with competition law, promoting competition as a positive value in doing business, and ensuring compliance from the bottom up.
L’Autorité de la concurrence serbe a été particulièrement dynamique durant ces trois dernières années. Le Conseil et le président nouvellement élus de la Commission pour la protection de la concurrence (ANC serbe) ont apporté un changement indispensable à l’application du droit de la concurrence en Serbie en mettant l’accent non plus sur les seuls cas individuels mais sur une vision plus globale et en promouvant le respect du droit de la concurrence en tant que modèle d’entreprise à privilégier. Au cours de cette période, l’autorité nationale de concurrence serbe a publié plusieurs instruments juridiques non contraignants, notamment ses premières lignes directrices pour l’élaboration de programmes de conformité, accompagnées d’un modèle de programme de conformité et de deux listes de contrôle de la conformité, visant à identifier les risques liés au droit de la concurrence. Ces activités, destinées à sensibiliser au droit de la concurrence, ont été accompagnées de plaidoyers vigoureux promouvant son respect. L’objectif global était de favoriser le respect volontaire du droit de la concurrence, de promouvoir la concurrence en tant que valeur positive dans la conduite des affaires et d’assurer le respect ascendant (bottom-up) du droit de la concurrence.

Opis:
The settlement procedure in Slovakia stems from three sources of inspiration: top-to-bottom (European Union law), bottom-up (incentive of an undertaking’s lawyer) and horizontal sources (Czechia). After more than ten years of application of this feature of Slovak competition law, there are several cases which were settled. These cases show a certain variety from the point of view of the legal basis, the stage of procedure as well as the character or relevance of the case. This makes it possible to assess their features, practice, effects, and consequences of settlements from the empirical point of view. The present paper analyses the legal framework and practice from a historical point of view. It provides a qualitative overview with evaluation of the settlement procedure in the context of European law and the Slovak legal order as well as a quantitative overview based on data extracted from the decisions of the Slovak NCA (PMÚ) and court rulings. In its conclusions it brings forward fresh suggestions de lege ferenda.
Il existe trois sources d’inspiration à la procédure de transaction en Slovaquie: de haut en bas (droit de l’Union européenne), de bas en haut (incitation de l’avocat d’une entreprise) et de sources horizontales (Tchéquie). Après plus de dix ans d’application de cette caractéristique du droit slovaque de la concurrence, plusieurs affaires ont été réglées. Ces affaires présentent une certaine variété du point de vue de la base juridique, du stade de la procédure ainsi que du caractère ou de la pertinence de l’affaire. Cela permet d’évaluer leurs caractéristiques, leur pratique, leurs effets et les conséquences des règlements amiables d’un point de vue empirique. Le présent article analyse le cadre juridique et la pratique d’un point de vue historique. Il fournit un aperçu qualitatif avec une évaluation de la procédure de transaction dans le contexte du droit européen et de l’ordre juridique slovaque ainsi qu’un aperçu quantitatif basé sur des données extraites des décisions de l’autorité slovaque de la concurrence (PMÚ) et des décisions de justice. Il conclut en présentant de nouvelles propositions de lege ferenda.

Merricks v Mastercard [2019] is the first action under the newly developed ‘opt-out’ collective proceedings regime for aggregate damages under UK competition law to be considered by the UK Court of Appeal. It is significant for both the level of damages (£14 billion (€16 billion)) and the clarification of the legal test at the certification stage for the suitability for an aggregate award: the method for calculation of the aggregate damages and the sufficiency of evidence. The Court’s lowering of these thresholds importantly opens the door to future class actions and reasserts the importance of collective proceedings as a valuable means of redress for competition law infringements. The decision has now been appealed to the UK Supreme Court where these issues may be further clarified and resolved.
Merricks v Mastercard [2019] est la première action examinée par la Cour d’appel du Royaume-Uni, dans le cadre du nouveau régime de procédure collective «opt-out» récemment mis au point en vertu du droit britannique de la concurrence. Cette action est importante tant pour le niveau des dommages (14 milliards de £; 16 milliards de €) que pour la clarification du test juridique au stade de la certification de l’aptitude à une indemnisation globale: la méthode de calcul du dommage et le caractère suffisant des preuves. L’abaissement de ces seuils par la Cour ouvre la voie à de futurs recours collectifs et réaffirme l’importance des procédures collectives en tant que moyen utile de réparation pour les infractions au droit de la concurrence. La décision a maintenant fait l’objet d’un appel devant la Cour suprême du Royaume-Uni, où ces questions peuvent être clarifiées et résolues.

Opis:
Fourteen years after the enactment of Indonesian Competition Law, the public has had the chance to witness the enforcement practice of the Commission for the Supervision of Business Activities (the Kppu), the competition supervisory authority of Indonesia. Being recognized as an aggressive competition agency, the enforcement of Indonesian Competition Law seems to largely rely on the discretion of the Kppu. However, a review needs to take place not only of how the competition authority accomplishes its tasks, but also how the enforcement process is outlined in the provisions of the Law itself. Around 72% of the cases dealt with by the Kppu concern bid-rigging, 14% cover other types of cartel practices, further types of anticompetitive conduct account for the rest. Despite being criticized as having excessive authority covering the investigation, prosecution, and ruling on competition law cases, the Kppu faces problems in battling cartel practices because major legal flaws exist, for instance concerning collecting evidences. The discussion will be limited to the combat with cartels. Competition law enforcement through the Kppu is administrative in nature albeit with some criminal law influences (evidence). Although it is possible to enforce the law by means of criminal injunctions and private claims, they have rarely been used so far, mainly because Indonesian Competition Law lacks clarity. Problems with existing procedures are rooted in the Kppu’s inability to obtain sufficient evidences. Two propositions are made how to deal with these difficulties – using indirect evidence and implementing a leniency programme, both based on existing Indonesian Competition Law or by amending the Law and inserting new provisions which would explicitly allow the use of both indirect evidence and a leniency programme.
Quatorze ans après la promulgation de la Loi indonésienne sur la concurrence,le public a eu la chance d’assister à la pratique de l’application accomplie par la Commission pour la Supervision des activités commerciales (la KPPU), l’autorité de surveillance de la concurrence de l’Indonésie. Reconnu comme une autorité de la concurrence agressive, l’application de la Loi indonésienne de la concurrence semble se référer largement à la discrétion de la KPPU. Toutefois, un examen doit avoir lieu non seulement sur la façon dont l’autorité de la concurrence accomplit ses tâches, mais aussi la façon dont le processus d’application est décrite dans les dispositions de la Loi elle-même. Environ 72% des affaires traitées par la KPPU concernent des offres collusoires, 14% d’autres types de pratiques de cartel et encore d’autres types de comportement anticoncurrentiel compte pour le reste. En dépit d’être critiqué comme ayant autorité excessive couvrant des enquêtes, des poursuites, et des jugements sur les affaires de droit de la concurrence, la KPPU fait face aux problèmes rélatifs à la lutte contre les pratiques de cartel, car les grandes failles juridiques existent, par exemple en ce qui concerne la collecte des preuves. La discussion sera limitée à la lutte contre les cartels. L’application de la loi de la concurrence par la KPPU est de nature administrative mais avec quelques influences provenant du droit pénal (preuves). Bien qu’il soit possible d’appliquer la loi au moyen d’injonctions pénales et des demandes privées, ils ont été rarement utilisées jusqu’à présent, à cause de manque de clarté par rapport au droit indonésien de la concurrence. Les problèmes avec des procédures existantes sont enracinés dans l’incapacité de la KPPU d’obtenir des preuv es suffisantes. Deux propositions ont été faites sur la manière permettant de résoudre ces difficultés - en utilisant des preuves indirectes et en mettant en œuvre un programme de clémence, tous les deux basés sur la Loi indonésienne actuelle sur la concurrence ou en modifiant la Loi et introduisant des nouvelles dispositions qui permettraient explicitement l’utilisation des deux preuves indirectes et un programme de clémence

The goal of this article is to assess the role and perspectives of the private enforcement of competition law mechanism in Georgia. The discussion starts with a brief review of a number of major events that have occurred in Georgia in the last two decades, which have shaped its competition law. The paper provides next an assessment of the current stage of the development of Georgian competition legislation, the necessity for a private enforcement model as well as the rules and legal tools offered by existing Georgian law in that regard. Outlined are also a number of challenges that must be overcome in order for Georgia to develop a successful and effective private enforcement system. The examination is based on a wide range of Georgian legislation; the interpretations provided are supported by existing enforcement practice, views of experts and scholars, research studies, reports and surveys from various national and international organizations.

Opis:
This paper provides a detailed review of evaluation standards for the legal assessment of tying. This practice, which constitutes an abuse of a dominant position, is a significant breach of competition law. The mechanism of this type of abuse is based on taking advantage of market power in the supply of one product to create packed offerings capable of precluding competition from superior rival solutions. Tying occurs when one product, the “tying product”, is sold only with another product, the “tied product”. In the prevailing number of cases, tying serves to consolidate the company’s dominant position on the tied product market, which usually aims to share the tying product’s large customer group with the less-desired product. However, tying is not illegal per se. In many cases, it does not lead to any anti-competitive concerns, and might be beneficial for consumers. This is why each assessment of this conduct must be carefully evaluated with special attention given to the effects, in accordance with the generally applied effect-based approach, and also potential efficiencies. An analysis of the case-law and literature reveals the basic mechanisms for conducting a legal assessment of tying. However, the use of these mechanisms will not be possible without their adaptation to the ongoing changes caused by technological development. Digital markets not only generate incremental revenues, but are also the sources of new or unusual legal arrangements. It will more frequently be the case that existing provisions will not be able to address every new practice accurately without new acts. The Digital Markets Act aims to adapt the existing legal framework to contemporary market realities and to become a modern tool for enforcing competition law rules on digital markets. The European Commission is seeking to broaden its powers to intervene at the earliest possible stage, before an undertaking affects the competition on a market.

Opis:
Postal services in the European Union have been liberalized through three postal directives, namely, 97/67/EC, 2002/39/EC and 2008/6/EC as per the Green paper, which emphasises the necessity of the liberalization of postal services for the development of the single market and the promotion of socio-economic development. Nevertheless, the realisation of this transition is questionable. Although these directives, to remove all barriers for new entrants, have established the necessary legal framework, formerly monopolised national postal operators have retained their dominant positions to a large extent and attempted to abuse it. Therefore, the implementation of competition law provisions plays an important role in the liberalization process. This article seeks to discuss how far postal services have advanced in terms of their liberalization under recent competition law judgments issued against national postal operators such as La Poste and Deutsche Post, by considering the Universal Postal Union (UPU)’s postal development reports as well as arguing the counter example of the US position.
Les services postaux de l’Union européenne ont été libéralisés par trois directives postales, notamment les directives 97/67/CE, 2002/39/CE et 2008/6/CE, conformément au Livre vert, qui souligne la nécessité de la libéralisation des services postaux pour le développement du marché unique et la promotion du développement socio-économique. Toutefois, la réalisation de cette transition est incertaine. Bien que ces directives, visant à supprimer toutes les barrières pour les nouveaux entrants, aient établi le cadre juridique nécessaire, les opérateurs postaux nationaux anciennement monopolisés ont conservé dans une large mesure leur position dominante et ont tenté d’en abuser. Par conséquent, la mise en oeuvre des dispositions du droit de la concurrence joue un rôle important dans le processus de libéralisation. Cet article vise à examiner dans quelle mesure les services postaux ont progressé en termes de libéralisation dans le cadre des récents jugements en matière de droit de la concurrence rendus à l’encontre d’opérateurs postaux nationaux tels que La Poste et Deutsche Post, en examinant les rapports de développement postal de l’Union postale universelle ainsi qu’en argumentant le contre-exemple de la position américaine.

Conditional Rebates
Opis:
While the granting of rebates is a common commercial practice largely used by dominant and non-dominant firms, the assessment of rebates is one of the most complex and unsettled areas of competition law. In the European Union, the decisional practice of the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union has been harshly criticized as unnecessarily strict, following a form-based approach that sits uneasily with modern economic theory. The degree of divergence between US and European case law on the proper legal treatment of loyalty rebates is larger than in almost any other fi eld of international antitrust law. Whereas US jurisprudence has traditionally considered loyalty rebates to be a pro-competitive business practice, the Court of Justice of the European Union has repeatedly held that loyalty rebates are an illegal means of distorting competition.

Opis:
The article deals with the issue of referrals to the study of criminal law as sources of inspiration for the enforcement of public law rules of competition and consumer protection (Act of February 16, 2007, on Competition and Consumer Protection (Journal of Laws of 2021, item 275) (oukk)). It is now widely accepted in antitrust jurisprudence that although the liability of the parties to the proceedings before the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) is not of criminal nature, and fines imposed by the President of UOKiK are not penalties within the meaning of the Criminal Code, the rules of judicial verification of the correctness of UOKiK’s decisions imposing these sanctions should meet the requirements analogous to those applicable by a court adjudicating in a criminal case. However, while there is little doubt that antitrust authorities should be required to apply standards of protection of fundamental rights as derived from the study of criminal law and international sources (European Convention on Human Rights, Charter of Fundamental Rights), the issue of transferring to competition and consumer law other standards recognized in criminal law remains open. The current jurisprudence contains divergent positions on this issue. The Supreme Court emphasized that „there are no justified grounds for applying the provisions of the general part of the Penal Code under the regime of administrative liability” (case I NSK 4/18). On the other hand, it approved references by analogy to the solutions taken from the Criminal Code in the absence of similar provisions in the uokk (case I NSK 8/19) or in cases where competition law uses concepts taken from criminal law (case I NSK 62/18). The article presents both of the jurisprudence lines mentioned above. In addition, the article point outs issues of competition and consumer protection law in the case of which, in the author’s opinion, the use of concepts derived from the study of criminal law would be justified.

Opis:
The article discusses the issue of soft law and its role in the functioning of supranational competition networks. It draws from the assumption that international cooperation is crucial for competition authorities around the world and that the most efficient and comprehensive form of such cooperation takes the form of supranational competition networks. For networks, establishing common standards in the form of soft law is essential for development of the network and the deepening of cooperation between network members. The article concludes that supranational soft law has its eminent advantages like informality, flexibility, and accessibility which allow it easily to respond to the changing needs of authorities and stakeholders, and to adapt to evolution of the economic and regulatory environment. However, the problems of legitimacy and transparency in the process of establishing soft law rules are yet to be resolved.

Opis:
Slovak competition law enforcement can be characterized by infrequency of leniency applications and near absence of private enforcement. As a result, the adoption of the Damages Directive is not likely to cause substantial breakthrough in Slovakia, be it with respect to the rate of leniency applications or in private enforcement. A comprehensive amendment of Slovak competition law took place in 2014. Changes introduced therein reflected, among other things, the practice of the European Commission regarding access to its file. A new approach was also introduced towards damages claims submitted against leniency applicants. The paper will first consider the question whether it is necessary to further redesign these new Slovak rules because of the adoption of the Damages Directive, or if they have been successfully pre-harmonized. Along with changes to Slovak competition law, procedural rules for civil courts were also re-codified. Hence the second part of this analysis will focus on the question if a new civil procedure framework, including obligatory harmonization, could foster private enforcement of competition law. Summarizing the resulting answers, the third question focuses on who could benefit from further changes to Slovak legislation – final consumers or enterprises that are involved in the production chain. Finally, will changes in Slovak legislation driven by the Directive be coherent with its overall legal system, or will they appear to be an odd and peculiar piece of legislation?

Opis:
The rule of law does not govern all human interactions. There are times when the state bypasses legal constraints, as documented by the World Justice Project. Other times, jurisdictions may be mutually unfriendly and refuse to enforce foreign laws. Blockchains create trust between contracting parties at the individual level, enabling them to transact freely and increase consumer welfare. Blockchains can only supple-ment antitrust if the legal constraints do not impede their development. The law should thus support the decentralization of blockchains so that blockchain-based mechanisms may take over (even if imperfectly) where the law does not apply. With that in mind, we justify the attractiveness of that approach by showing that blockchain causes an increase in the number of transactions by creating trust (Part 1), and that it may overall increase the decentralization of economic transactions (Part 2). The law should take into account where it applies (Part 3). We conclude afterward (Part 4).

Opis:
Jurisprudence on private enforcement of competition law has so far been almost non-existent in Estonia. Most cases where competition law issues are raised within the context of damage claims are solved by out-of-court settlements. One of the main reasons for this scarcity is the fact that this is a fairly unfamiliar field for Estonian lawyers, attorneys and judges. The first reason for the low number of private enforcement of competition law cases in Estonia is therefore lacking awareness and legal uncertainty. The other key barrier lies in burden of proof issues associated with damage claims. It has proven very difficult in practice for an injured person to prove that he/she sustained damages as a result of a competition law infringement; even more so to prove the actual extent of such damages. There is no juridical practice yet on how to calculate business losses and judges face considerable difficulties when confronted with this task. Another problem lies in the availability of evidence. As discovery is not possible in Estonia, its civil procedure rules make it difficult for claimants to obtain evidence necessary to prove the facts underlying their claims. Estonian law does not provide for a special procedure for antitrust damage claims – there are no collective claims, no class actions, nor actions by representative bodies or other forms of public interest litigation (no collective redress). It is thus only possible to file damage claims arising from competition law infringements either in normal civil proceedings or as a civil claim within the framework of criminal proceedings on a competition law crime. The need for collective redress has not yet been subject to a legal debate at the national level, and there has not been a single private enforcement case opened by a consumer in Estonia so far. The only Supreme Court case in existence in this field, which was decided in 2011, has cleared the basis and availability of damage claims for competition law infringement. It has shown, at the same time, the many problems connected to calculating damages in this context.
La jurisprudence relative à l’application privée du droit de la concurrence a été jusqu’à présent presque absente en Estonie. La plupart des cas où les questions de droit de la concurence sont soulevées dans le cadre de demandes d’indemnisation, sont résolus par des règlements à l’amiable. L’une des raisons principales de cette pénurie est le fait que c’est un domaine assez inconnu pour les avocats, les procureurs et les juges estoniens. La première raison pour le faible nombre de cas de l’application privée du droit de la concurrence en Estonie est donc la manque de conscience et l’incertitude juridique. L’autre obstacle majeur réside dans des questions relatives à la charge de preuve liées à des demandes d ‘indemnisation. Il s’est avéré très difficile en pratique pour une personne blessée à prouver qu’il/elle a subi des dommages à la suite d’une infraction au droit de la concurrence ; plus encore à prouver l’étendue exacte de tels dommages. Il n’existe pas encore de pratique juridique sur la façon de calculer les pertes commerciales. Alors les juges font face à des difficultés considérables lorsqu’ils sont confrontés à cette tâche. Un autre problème réside dans la disponibilité de la preuve. A cause du fait que la découverte n’est pas possible en Estonie, ses règles de procédure civile rendent l’obtention des preuves nécessaires pour soutenir les faits qui prouvent des revendications soumis par des demandeurs difficile. La législation estonienne ne prévoit pas de procédure spéciale pour les demandes de dommages antitrust – il n’y a pas de revendications collectives, aucune action de classe, ni des measures prises par les organes représentatifs ou d’autres formes de litiges d’intérêt public (pas de resours collectif). Il n’est donc possible que de déposer des demandes d’indemnsation en cas d’infraction au droit de la concurrence soit dans les procédures civiles normales, soit comme une action civile dans le cadre d’une procédure pénale sur un crime de droit de la concurrence. La nécessité de recours collectif n’a pas encore fait l’objet d’un débat juridique au niveau national, et il n’a pas eu en Estonie un seul cas de l’application privée ouverte par un consommateur jusqu’à présent. Le seul cas qui a été présenté à la Cour suprême en ce domaine (le jugement a été prononcé en 2011), a autorisé la base et la disponibilité des demandes d’indemnisation pour violation du droit de la concurrence. Il a présenté en même temps les problèmes nombreux reliés à la calculation des dommages dans ce contexte-là.

Opis:
This contribution aims to demonstrate the legal framework that can shape and influence private enforcement in Slovenia. This includes, in particular, conditions for damage claims, collective redress mechanisms, legal costs and fees as well as discovery and burden of proof. It is shown which legislative changes may be needed in order to improve the effectiveness of private enforcement and the practical obstacles that will have to be overcome in the future. Furthermore, the article analyses the jurisprudence of Slovenian courts concerning private enforcement. Although there was practically no jurisprudence in this area only a few years ago, Slovenian courts have now ruled on a few such cases already. The number of private enforcement proceedings will most likely increase in the future. Therefore, it can be stated that private enforcement of competition law is an area that is slowly, but steadily, gaining importance in the Slovenian legal system.
La présente contribution vise à démontrer le cadre juridique susceptible de former et d’influencer la mise en œuvre des règles de concurrence de l'UE à l'initiative de la sphère privée (« private enforcement ») en Slovénie. Les conditions pour des recours en dommages et intérêts, des mécanismes des recours collectifs, des règles sur des dépens ainsi que la divulgation des preuves et la charge de la preuve y sont analysés. La contribution démontre quelles modifications législatives seraient nécessaires et quelles obstacles pratiques devront être surmontés à l’avenir afin d’améliorer l’effectivité de ce type de mise en œuvre du droit de la concurrence. La jurisprudence des juridictions Slovènes dans ce domaine y est également analysée. Même si cette jurisprudence a été pratiquement inexistante il y a quelques années, les juridictions Slovènes ont, jusqu’à présent, rendu déjà quelques arrêts dans ce domaine et il est à attendre que le nombre de ce type d’affaires accroîtra dans le futur. Ainsi, il est possible de constater que l’importance de ce type de mise en œuvre du droit de la concurrence augmentera lentement mais sûrement dans l’ordre juridique slovène.

Opis:
The article reviews judgments of Polish courts on private enforcement of competition law between 1993 and 2012. A quantitative analysis of this jurisprudence shows that very few cases of that type exist at all. Their qualitative characteristics illustrate that: none of them referred to consumers; none of the claims was a 'pure' damage claim; all of these cases focused on partial or general nullity of contracts concluded as a result of an anticompetitive practice; almost all of them concerned an abuse of a dominant position; only one referred to competition-restricting agreements. The relevant jurisprudence largely focused on the binding force of a prior decision of the Polish competition body upon civil courts. Even if the fact that some cases of this type were at all record might suggest that there is a potential for developing private enforcement of antitrust in Poland, nothing like this actually happened. Unfortunately, the Act on Collective Redress (in force since July 2010) has not contributed to a growth in the number of consumers (or any other entities) engaging in court disputes with undertakings restricting competition.
L’article passe en revue les jugements des tribunaux polonais sur l’application privée du droit de la concurrence entre 1993 et 2012. Une analyse quantitative de cette jurisprudence montre que très peu de cas de ce type existent. Leurs caractéristiques qualitatives montrent que : aucun d’entre eux ne concernait les consommateurs ; aucune des revendications ne constituait une demande d’indemnisation dans le sense exacte ; tous ces cas axaient sur la nullité partielle ou générale des contrats conclus à la suite d‘une pratique anticoncurrentielle ; la quasi-totalité d’entre eux concernaient un abus de position dominante ; une seule visait aux accords restreignant la concurrence. La jurisprudence se concentrait surtout sur la force contraignante d’une décision préalable de l’organe polonais de la concurrence prise par des tribunaux civils. Même si le fait que certains cas de ce type-là étaient notés, il pourrait suggérer qu’il existe un potentiel de développement de l’application privée de la concurrence en Pologne – rien que cela ne s’est réellement passé. Malheureusement, la Loi sur les recours collectif (en vigueur depuis juillet 2010) n’a pas contribué à une augmentation du nombre de consommateurs (ou d’autres entités) s’engageant dans des litiges judiciaires avec les entreprises qui restreignent la concurrence.

Opis:
This paper provides a historical overview of the case-law and practices applied by the Hungarian Competition Authority (HCA) in abuse of dominance cases. The paper is co-written by practitioners of complementing antitrust fields, which ensures that both legal and economic considerations are explored. The paper identifies the unique characteristics of Hungarian legislation and case-law and critically evaluates them in light of EU competition law and economics principles. We analyse (i) the reasons for the high number of exploitative cases before 2010, (ii) the general principles applied by the HCA in exclusionary cases, (iii) the cost allocation assessments in dominance cases, and (iv) the issue of significant market power of retailers. The general starting point is that, judging by the number of dominance investigations, there is less antitrust enforcement by the HCA in recent years. However, the article concludes that less enforcement does not mean weaker enforcement. In fact, the quality of dominance cases, considering both legal and economic aspects, has increased over time. This tendency has also led to higher legal certainty in Hungary, which is beneficial for market players. Stronger criticism is only formulated against the concept of significant market power of retailers.
Cet article donne un aperçu historique de la jurisprudence et des méthodes appliquées par l’Autorité hongroise de la concurrence (HCA) dans les affaires d’abus de position dominante. Le document est co-rédigé par des praticiens des domaines complémentaires de l’antitrust, ce qui garantit que les aspects tant juridiques qu’économiques sont explorés. Le document identifie les caractéristiques uniques de la législation et de la jurisprudence hongroises et évalue de manière critique à la lumière des principes du droit de la concurrence et de l’économie de l’UE. Les auteurs analysent (i) les raisons du nombre élevé d’affaires d’exploitation avant 2010, (ii) les principes généraux appliqués par la HCA dans les affaires d’exclusion, (iii) les évaluations de la répartition des coûts dans les affaires de position dominante et (iv) la question du pouvoir de marché significatif des distributeurs. Le point de départ général est que l’application des règles antitrust par la HCA a été plus limitée ces dernières années, à en juger par le nombre d’enquêtes sur les positions dominantes. Toutefois, l’article conclut qu’une application réduite n’est pas synonyme d’une application plus faible. En fait, la qualité des affaires de position dominante, tant du point de vue juridique qu’économique, a augmenté au fil du temps. Cette tendance a également conduit à une plus grande clarté juridique en Hongrie, ce qui est bénéfique pour les acteurs du marché. L’article formule des critiques plus sévères à l’encontre du concept de pouvoir de marché significatif des distributeurs.

Opis:
Dawn raids have become an effective tool to enforce EU and national competition laws. Judicial review is an essential mechanism of control over the executive branch against possible misuse of this power. However, this judicial review has shown to have limits; it cannot always guarantee an adequate redress for the affected parties. How to address the limited judicial review to ensure control over dawn raids? This article argues that the limits of judicial review could be addressed by extending the types of controls over this action, i.e. ex ante legislative guidance and internal managerial accountability. The more conceptual argument that this paper puts forward is thus that it is essential to seek connections between different concepts and types of controls to ensure a comprehensive/water-tight system of controls over the actions of the executive branch.
« Dawn raids » sont devenus un moyen efficace de faire respecter le droit européen et national de la concurrence. Le contrôle judiciaire est un mécanisme essential de contrôle du pouvoir exécutif contre d’éventuels abus de ce pouvoir. Toutefois, ce contrôle judiciaire a montré ses limites ; il ne garantit pas toujours une reparation adéquate pour les parties concernées. Comment résoudre le problème du contrôle judiciaire limité pour assurer le contrôle des « dawn raids »? Cet article avance que les limites du contrôle juridictionnel pourraient être résolues en étendant les types de contrôle sur cette action, c’est-à-dire les orientations législatives ex ante et la responsabilité interne des administrateurs. Ainsi, la thèse plus conceptuelle de l’article est qu’il est essentiel de chercher des liens entre les différents concepts et types de contrôles pour garantir un système complet et efficace de contrôle des actions du pouvoir exécutif.

Opis:
Data protection and competition law have been at a crossroads in terms of their integration. Antitrust authorities as well as data protection supervisory authorities have grappled with the question of whether both fields of law should be combined into the same analysis. The German competition authority, the Bundeskartellamt, was the first to fuse them in its landmark case against Facebook’s data processing terms and conditions. The exploitative theory of harm put forward by the German NCA is the first of its kind to integrate data protection considerations into the antitrust analysis, namely by drawing a line between an infringement with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and anti-competitive harm. This case comment outlines its key developments at the national level, to then address the questions that have been answered by the Court of Justice of the European Union, CJEU, in Case C-252/21 concerning the interpretation of the GDPR in the context of competition law.
La protection des données et le droit de la concurrence sont à la croisée des chemins en ce qui concerne leur intégration. Les autorités antitrust et les autorités de contrôle de la protection des données ont été confrontées à la question de savoir si les deux domaines du droit devaient être repris dans la même analyse. L’autorité allemande de la concurrence a été la première à les fusionner dans le cadre de l’affaire qui a fait jurisprudence contre les conditions générales de traitement des données de Facebook. La théorie du préjudice d’exploitation avancée par le Bundeskartellamt est la première du genre à intégrer des considérations relatives à la protection des données dans l’analyse antitrust, notamment en établissant une distinction entre une infraction au règlement général sur la protection des données (RGPD) et un préjudice anticoncurrentiel. Ce commentaire d’affaire présente les principaux développements au niveau national pour ensuite aborder les questions qui ont été repondues par la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne dans l’affaire C-252/21 concernant l’interprétation du GDPR dans le contexte du droit de la concurrence.

Opis:
The aim of this article is, on the one hand, to provide an overview of the competition law framework in Kosovo vis-á-vis the establishment of the Kosovo Competition Authority (hereinafter; the Authority), its institutional design as well as the criteria for becoming a member of the Commission within the Authority, which is the most important decision-making body in the field of competition law in Kosovo. On the other hand, it discusses some of the challenges the Authority as well as the courts are facing as regards the effective enforcement of competition law provisions in Kosovo, be it procedural or substantive. In addition, the only three cases decided by the Authority, since its establishment in 2008, are briefly discussed. Last but not least, it tries to contextualise the role of the EU concerning enacting as well as enforcing competition law in some of the South East Europe (hereinafter; SEE) countries, with the main focus placed on Kosovo. Without the European perspective, it is convincing to say that the picture that would result from a competitiveness viewpoint would change dramatically, although the EU’s efforts alone are not sufficient in the absence of serious efforts by the states themselves.
L’objectif de cet article est, d’une part, de fournir un aperçu du cadre du droit de la concurrence au Kosovo en ce qui concerne la constitution de l’Autorité de la concurrence du Kosovo («l’Autorité»), sa conception institutionnelle ainsi que les critères de sélection des membres de la Commission au sein de l’Autorité, qui constitue l’organe décisionnel le plus important dans le domaine du droit de la concurrence au Kosovo. D’autre part, il présente certaines des défis auxquels l’Autorité ainsi que les tribunaux sont confrontés en ce qui concerne l’application effective des dispositions du droit de la concurrence au Kosovo. En outre, les trois seules affaires décidées par l’Autorité, depuis sa création en 2008, sont brièvement abordées. Enfin, l’article tente de contextualiser le rôle de l’UE dans la promulgation et l’application du droit de la concurrence dans les pays de l’Europe du Sud-Est, avec un accent particulier sur le Kosovo. En l’absence d’une perspective européenne sur ces pays, l’auteur pense que le contexte qui en résulterait du point de vue de la compétitivité changerait radicalement en l’absence d’efforts sérieux de la part des États.

ECN+ Directive
Opis:
Almost fifteen years after its adoption, the system of decentralized enforcement laid down in Regulation 1/2003 has shaped competition law in a way that could hardly be predicted, in terms of both magnitude and quality of the activities of National Competition Authorities. More recently, the so-called ‘ECN+ Directive’ was adopted to address the shortcoming of such system, namely a perceived lack of independence and accountability of several NCAs and a certain degree of divergence within the European Competition Network. In this scenario, the Italian Competition Authority has frequently been depicted as a well-equipped, independent and effective enforcer and – with a few notable exceptions – the international debate concerning such reform has mostly overlooked its possible impact within the Italian legal system. This paper aims to assess whether, and to what an extent, the ECN+ Directive should affect the enforcement of competition law in Italy and, in particular, those fundamental guarantees of independence and effectiveness that form the core of the rule of law in the field of EU competition law. independent and effective enforcer and – with a few notable exceptions – the international debate concerning such reform has mostly overlooked its possible impact within the Italian legal system.

Presque quinze ans après son adoption, le système d’application décentralisée prévu par le règlement n° 1/2003 a influencé le droit de la concurrence d’une manière difficilement prévisible, tant en termes d’ampleur que de qualité des activités des autorités nationales de concurrence. Plus récemment, la directive dite «ECN+» a été adoptée pour remédier aux lacunes de ce système, à savoir le défaut d’indépendance et de responsabilité de plusieurs autorités nationales de concurrence et un certain degré de divergence au sein du réseau européen de la concurrence. Dans ce scénario, l’autorité italienne de la concurrence a souvent été présentée comme une autorité bien équipée, indépendante et efficace, et – à moins de quelques exceptions – le débat international concernant cette réforme a pour la plupart négligé son impact possible dans le système juridique italien. Le present article vise à établir si, et dans quelle mesure, la directive ECN+ doit affecter l’application du droit de la concurrence en Italie et, en particulier, les guaranties fondamentales d’indépendance et d’efficacité qui constituent le fondement de l’État de droit dans le domaine du droit communautaire de la concurrence.

Opis:
On May 21st 2015, the Court of Justice of the European Union in CDC Hydrogen Peroxide decided whether the application of jurisdiction clauses in actions for damages impedes the effective enforcement of EU competition law. The CJ stayed silent, however, on how to treat arbitration clauses, which similarly to jurisdiction clauses, exclude a default court jurisdiction. The question of how to interpret arbitration agreements in the event of an antitrust violation and subsequent actions for damages remains thus unanswered. In light of the foreseen increase in private enforcement of EU competition law, this problem gains significance. This is because arbitration agreements may be frequently used to govern commercial relationships between antitrust infringers and their injured direct contractors. Against this background, the paper aims to analyse the consequences brought about by the existence of arbitration clauses in the event of actions for antitrust damages. It seeks to answer two questions: whether the claims for antitrust damages can be per se arbitrated, and whether the general arbitration clauses used by the parties to regulate their commercial relations cover the actions for antitrust damages. In order to address these problems, the papers draws attention to the CJ’s interpretation of jurisdiction clauses and the Polish experience of interpreting the scope of arbitration agreements in the field of unfair competition law. The paper reaches the conclusion that neither the arbitration nor EU law prevent arbitrating actions for antitrust damages. Whether a specific arbitration agreement covers actions for antitrust damages or not can be analyzed only with reference to the will of the parties interpreted under applicable national law. It is believed, however, that there are many reasons to adopt an arbitration-friendly interpretation of vague arbitration agreements.

Opis:
The aim of this paper is to analyse the interplay between the EU’s external (pre-accession) and internal (post-accession) governance model in the field of competition law and to reach a deeper understanding of the EU’s Europeanization strategy at the intersection of these two governance models. The paper will critically examine the effectiveness of the internal governance mechanisms of Regulation 1/2003 with regard to the goals of the decentralized enforcement system, as well as with regard to their effectiveness in steering post-accession compliance and Europeanization among the Member States. Following the Introduction, section II of the paper maps out the EU’s external law and governance model that applies vis-à-vis third countries that wish to join the EU. In section III, the paper examines the extent and the manner in which this external model has shaped the EU’s internal governance model vis-à-vis its Member States. Section IV analyses Regulation 1/2003 as the main driver behind the effective implementation of EU competition law in the Member States as well as its governance mechanisms as they framed the Europeanization process. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of post-accession compliance, section IV examines the compound procedural framework, composed of EU and national administrative rules, which underlies and challenges the enforcement of EU competition law. Also specifically investigated here is how the administrative capacity of national competition authorities affects competition law enforcement. This inquiry is enriched in section V with a detailed assessment of the European Competition Network as the EU’s main mechanism for the monitoring of Member States’ post-accession compliance with EU law.
Le but de cet article est d'analyser l'interaction entre le modèle de gouvernance externe (pré -adhésion) et interne (post-adhésion) de l’UE dans le domaine du droit de la concurrence et d'arriver à une compréhension plus profonde de la stratégie de l'UE sur l’européanisation de l'intersection entre les modèles de gouvernance interne et externe. L’article examinera l'efficacité des mécanismes de gouvernance interne du règlement 1/2003 en ce qui concerne les objectifs du système de mise en oeuvre décentralisée et en ce qui concerne leur efficacité dans le respect de guider la conformité de post-adhésion et l'européanisation entre les États membres. Par conséquent, la première partie de l’article (qui suit l’«Introduction») décrit le droit externe de l’UE et le modèle de gouvernance qui s’applique aux pays tiers souhaitant d’adhérer à l'UE. Et dans la section III, il examine à quel point et dans quelle manière ce modèle externe a façonné le modèle de gouvernance interne de l'UE vis-à-vis ses États membres. La section IV analyse le règlement 1/2003 comme le moteur principal de la mise en œuvre effective du droit communautaire de la concurrence dans les États membres et de ses mécanismes de gouvernance qui encadraient le processus de l'européanisation. Afin d'évaluer l'efficacité de la conformité de post-adhésion, la section IV examine le cadre procédural composé des règles administratives européennes et nationales qui soumet et conteste l'application du droit communautaire de la concurrence et étudie la façon dont, en particulier, la capacité administrative des autorités nationales de la concurrence affecte l’application du droit de la concurrence. Cette demande est enrichie dans la section V avec une évaluation détaillée du Réseau européen de la concurrence qui est le mécanisme principal de l'UE pour surveiller la conformité des États membres avec la législation de l'UE dans la phase de post-adhésion.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest prawo konkurencji w Polsce oraz w Rosji. W dzisiejszych czasach w Polsce, jak i w Rosji, aby móc działać na wolnym rynku, niezbędna jest ochrona przed postępowaniem innych przedsiębiorców, którzy mogą ograniczać możliwości związane ze swobodnym realizowaniem swych interesów. 147 Każde z przywołanych państw posiada własne organy, które działają w sposób odmienny, jednakże w tym samym celu – ochrony konkurencji. Aby wykazać różnice tej regulacji prawnej w Polsce oraz w Rosji należało dokonać opisu, analizy prawno-porównawczej, a także rysu prawno-historycznego omawianego zagadnienia dla ukazania wniosków z badań z wykorzystaniem źródeł zagranicznych. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest więc opis oraz porównanie prawa ochrony konkurencji w powyższych państwach.
The subject of the article is competition law in Poland and in Russia. Nowadays, in Poland and Russia, in order to be able to operate on the free market it is necessary to provide protection against behaviours of other entrepreneurs, who may limit the possibilities related to pursuing one’s interests. Each of the aforementioned countries has its own bodies that operate differently but for the same purpose – to protect competition. In order to show the differences of this legal regulation in Poland and in Russia one should provide a description, legal and comparative analysis and a legal and historical sketch of the discussed issue in order to present the conclusions of the research using foreign sources. The aim of this article is, therefore, the description and comparison of the competition law in the abovementioned countries.

La numérisation a apporté de nouveaux défis juridiques, même en matière de droit de la concurrence. Le test SSNIP traditionnel utilisé par les autorités de la concurrence ne convient pas aux marchés en ligne, où les services ou les produits sont mis gratuitement à la disposition des consommateurs.

Opis:
Following two appeals against a judgment of the General Court regarding the qualification of a series of measures of financial support as State aid(s), the Court of Justice clarifies that secondary and ancillary competitive elements within a social security system, and the presence of for-profit operators, are not such as to override the non-economic nature of the activities concerned. Therefore, should the characteristics derived from the principle of solidarity prevail, the recipient of the measures will not qualify as an ‘undertaking’, for the purposes of State aid rules.
À la suite de deux recours d’un arrêt du Tribunal concernant la qualification d’une série de mesures de soutien financier comme aide(s) d’État, la Cour de justice précise que ni les éléments concurrentiels secondaires et accessoires au sein d’un système de sécurité sociale ni la présence d’opérateurs à but lucratif sont de nature à l’emporter sur la nature non économique des activités concernées. Par conséquent, si les caractéristiques découlant du principe de solidarité prévalent, le bénéficiaire des mesures ne sera pas qualifié d’entreprise, aux fins des règles relatives aux aides d’État.

Opis:
A single and continuous infringement of EU competition rules is a qualified form of infringement of EU Competition Law characterized by the existence of a global plan having a single objective between undertakings. Given the specificity of this form of infringement, proving it is somewhat different from the standard evidentiary process for proving infringements of competition rules before EU courts. This article aims to give an overview of the evidentiary rules through the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU and analyze their application in practice.
Une infraction unique et continue aux règles de concurrence de l’UE est une forme qualifiée d’infraction au droit de la concurrence de l’UE caractérisée par l’existence d’un projet commun aux entreprises ayant un objectif unique. Compte tenu de la spécificité de cette forme d’infraction, la preuve est différente de la procedure de preuve standard pour prouver les infractions aux règles de concurrence devant les tribunaux de l’UE. Cet article vise à donner un aperçu des règles de prevue à travers la jurisprudence de la Cour de justice de l’UE et à en analyser l’application dans la pratique.

The Damages Directive has a rather limited scope, focusing only on damages claims stemming from anticompetitive agreements or abuse of a dominant position, provided such conduct was able to affect trade between EU Member States. However, Member States are not limited by this scope and so they may decide, when implementing the Directive, to enhance not only claims for damages, but the overall private enforcement of competition law. In this article, we shall explore the scope of the implementing legislation of selected Central and Eastern European Countries, namely in Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.

Opis:
Competition law is an area which links the economy with the law and is very important for the functioning of a free market economy. Anti-competitive agreements, along with the abuse of dominance and concentrations of undertakings, are the subject matter of the Law on the Protection of Competition (LPC) of the Republic of Kosovo. Anti-competitive agreements can be horizontal or vertical in nature. The following paper deals with agreements and other multilateral practices prohibited under Kosovo’s Law on the Protection of Competition. The LPC explicitly states also specific circumstances where the prohibition does not apply – these are covered by the so called 'exceptions and allowances' section of the LPC. In this respect, the LPC has incorporated the entirety of the principles covered by Article 101 TFEU. The insurance market of the Republic of Kosovo was analyzed in the context of this case study, which has all the features of an oligopoly including: a limited number of participating firms, product standardization, interdependence in controlling prices and, difficulty of new market entry. From this perspective, the insurance market is highly problematic as far as violations of the provisions of the law dealing with anti-competitive agreements are concerned. The analysis is conducted based on the enforcement measures undertaken by the Kosovo Competition Authority and reviewed by the judiciary of the Republic of Kosovo. Taking into consideration that Kosovo is a young country facing special transitional challenges and aiming to become a member of the European Union, much needed reforms are to take place still. The aim of this analysis is thus to contribute to further development of competition law in Kosovo through the analysis of current market situation, domestic legislation and its compliance with EU rules.
L’article suivant concerne des accords et des pratiques interdites par la loi sur la protection de la concurrence du Kosovo. La loi mentionnée ci-dessus prévoit également circonstances atténuantes exceptionnelles pour l'application des dispositions concernant les accords anticoncurrentiels. À cet égard, la loi sur la protection de la concurrence a incorporé les principes de l'article 101 du Traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne. Dans ce contexte, l’article analyse le marché de l’assurance dans la République du Kosovo, qui possède toutes les caractéristiques d'oligopole, y compris le nombre limité d'entreprises, la normalisation des produits, l'interdépendance dans le contrôle des prix et les difficultés de nouvelles entreprises qui entrent le marché. Dans cette perspective, le marché de l'assurance est très problématique en termes de violation des dispositions concernant les accords anticoncurrentiels. L'analyse est effectuée à la base de sanctions introduits par l’Autorité de la concurrence de Kosovo, ainsi que par la Cour de la République du Kosovo. En prenant en compte que le Kosovo est un pays jeune, avec des défis pour la transition, qui a pour son objectif de devenir un membre de l’Union européenne, certains réformes doivent être mises en oeuvre. En effet, le but de l’article est de donner la contribution pour les développements de la loi de la concurrence au Kosovo, par l'analyse de la situation actuelle du marché, de la législation nationale et de sa cohérence avec des règles du droit de l’Union européenne.

Opis:
One of the defining features of EU competition provisions is that they are enforceable and applicable by the authorities and courts of the European Union and those of its Member States. The European Commission and national competition authorities participate in the application of EU competition law to differing degrees. Different legal mechanisms are adopted to apply Article 101 TFEU, including leniency programmes aimed at pursuing cartels, considered to be the greatest risk to free competition in the European Union. These programmes are implemented using non-binding mechanisms of soft law, which has generated a number of issues for the European Commission and the administrative competition authorities of the Member States when applying European and national competition laws.
Un des traits caractéristiques des dispositions communautaires en matière de concurrence est qu’elles sont exécutoires et applicables par les autorités et les tribunaux de l’Union européenne et ceux de ses États membres. La Commission européenne et les autorités nationales de la concurrence participent à l’application du droit européen de la concurrence à différents degrés. Plusieurs mécanismes juridiques sont adoptés pour appliquer l’article 101 du TFUE, y compris des programmes de clémence visant à poursuivre les cartels, considérés comme le plus grand risque pour la libre concurrence dans l’Union européenne. Ces programmes sont mis en oeuvre en utilisant des mécanismes non contraignants de soft law, ce qui a généré un certain nombre de problèmes pour la Commission européenne et les autorités administratives de la concurrence des États membres lors de l’application des lois européennes et nationales sur la concurrence.

Opis:
The paper will focus on requirements and thresholds set for the judiciary by the Damages Directive. Answered will also be questions on the specialization of courts and its application in Central and Eastern European (CEE) Member States of the EU, as well as on the involvement of national competition authorities (NCAs) in court proceedings. The paper provides also general thoughts regarding the specialization of courts and confronts them with the judiciary structure in CEE Member States in the context of private enforcement of competition law. While there is no uniform model of a judicial system, the paper provides a critical analysis of the centralization, specialization and decentralization of private enforcement models, taking into account also the importance of the training of judges. The relationship between NCAs and courts will be discussed whereby the role of NCAs in private enforcement defines the responsibility of the given public authority in private enforcement as a country’s policymaker.

Opis:
The notion of a public interest in administrative law science and in the administration science occupies the central position in the notion chart. Consequently, it is also the main notion of public protection of competition. The legislator has not decided to present a definition of “the public interest” in the Competition and Consumer Protection Law Act. As a result, interpretation of the concept is largely dependent on the judicature. The aim of the paper is to analyse the notion of a public interest and its interpretation both in science and in practice of law application.

Opis:
This article examines the Competition Laws of the Members States of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). It examines their content, puts all of them under general scrutiny from their enactment until today and compares their basic features to other (developed) competition law jurisdictions, such as EU Competition Law and US Antitrust Law. The article argues the importance of the Advocacy principle in the region and the incentives international organizations (IOs) have induced so far for the development of Competition Law in the GCC Countries, including the link between trade and Competition Law. In today’s economy where online giant companies dominate, where the restrictive conduct among separate independent commercial entities grows immensely, and where mergers do not identify formal state borders, the need for global Competition Law enforcement is indispensable. Therefore, in order to be part of the global competition world, a creation of GCC Competition Law may be considered progressive and advantageous. The article argues the purposes and motivations why such awareness is desirable and provides legislative and normative recommendations on how to accomplish this endeavor.
Cet article examine les lois sur la concurrence des États membres du Conseil de coopération du Golfe (CCG). Il examine leur contenu, les analyse d’un point de vue général depuis leur adoption jusqu’à aujourd’hui et, dans une certaine mesure, les compare aux autres juridictions (les plus développées notamment), telles que la législation européenne sur la concurrence et la législation antitrust américaine. L’article fait valoir l’importance du principe du plaidoyer dans la région, les initiatives que les organisations internationales (OI) ont prises jusqu’ici pour le développement du droit de la concurrence dans les pays du CCG, notamment le lien entre commerce et droit de la concurrence. Dans l’économie d’aujourd’hui – où les géants de l’Internet dominent et les comportements restrictifs entre entités commerciales indépendantes distinctes se multiplient et les fusions n’identifient pas les frontières officielles des États – la nécessité d’appliquer le droit mondial de la concurrence est indispensable. Par conséquent, une création du droit de la concurrence du CCG peut être considérée comme une solution progressive et avantageuse. L’article fait valoir les buts et les motivations pour lesquels une telle prise de conscience est souhaitable et fournit des recommandations législatives et normatives sur la manière dont cet effort doit être accompli.

Opis:
Directive 2014/104/EU on private antitrust enforcement opted for the exclusion of punitive damages from the category of recoverable damages following a violation of antitrust law. This article will outline the concept of punitive damages and analyse the relevant case-law of the courts of the Member States, of the ECtHR and of the ECJ. Then, it will examine the regime laid down in the Directive and consider the possible reasons why the European legislator opted for this exclusion. Thus, the opportunity to introduce such a provision into the European legal system will be evaluated, taking into consideration the problem of overdeterrence, the problem of the division of functions between public and private enforcement, and making a comparison with the relevant provisions of Directive 2004/48/EC on the enforcement of intellectual property rights. Finally, a possible modification of Article 3(3) of the Directive will be suggested, in the framework of the review that the Commission is required to undertake by December 27, 2020
La Directive 2014/104/UE sur l’application privée du droit de la concurrence a opté pour l’exclusion des dommages-intérêts punitifs de la catégorie des dommages recouvrables suite à la violation du droit de la concurrence. Cet article décrira la notion de dommages-intérêts punitifs et analysera la jurisprudence pertinente des tribunaux des États membres, de la CEDH et de la CJUE. Ensuite, il examinera le régime prévu par la Directive et examinera les raisons possibles pour lesquelles le législateur européen a opté pour cette exclusion. Donc, l’opportunité d’introduire une telle disposition dans le système juridique européen sera d’évaluée en prenant en considération le problème de la dissuasion excessive, celui de la répartition des fonctions entre l’application publique et privée du droit de la concurrence et en faisant une comparaison avec les dispositions pertinentes de la Directive 2004/48/ EC relative au respect des droits de propriété intellectuelle. Enfin, une éventuelle modification de l’article 3, paragraphe 3, de la Directive sera d’envisagée, dans le cadre d’une révision de la Directive que la Commission doit faire au plus tard le 27 décembre 2020

Opis:
This paper discusses the use of consensual dispute resolution for the purpose of antitrust damage claims as introduced by the Directive. It presents these type of claims in a broader context of arbitration (or ADR), in comparison with traditional claim settling before a state court. Particular focus is on selected CEE countries and their implementation of the Directive, serving as an example of the transposition of the Directive’s rules (Article 18 and 19) into national systems in the area of consensual dispute resolution. Specific institutions intended to encourage consensual resolution included in the Directive (and transposed into national systems) are being commented on as well. Lastly, the paper briefs on the advantages of ADR in general, and concludes that even post-Directive, ADR remains attractive as a complimentary instrument to public enforcement and state judiciary enforcement.

Opis:
Infringements of competition law can cause serious harm to both consumers and undertakings. Aside from the development of public enforcement of competition law, much focus has been placed in recent years in the European Union on private competition law enforcement. Lawsuits raised by undertakings that sustained damages from anti-competitive practice concerning the compensation of such damages have historically not been widespread in Europe. No such cases have been recorded in Albania at all yet, despite the fact that its competition protection legislation has provided this possibility since 1995. The main causes of the lack of private competition law enforcement in Albania include the absence of judicial practice and doctrinal approaches in this area. Relevant here is also the inability of Albanian businesses and consumers to react to competition protection cases as they still lack competition law knowledge and as a result of the absence of an appropriate legal framework for class actions. The scope of this article is to analyze the current situation of private competition law enforcement in Albania. The paper emphasizes the current legal framework including existing obstacles to private competition law enforcement and improvements that should be introduced in the context of its competition law, the law of civil procedures and the law of obligations.
Les violations du droit de la concurrence peuvent causer un préjudice grave aux consommateurs et aux entreprises. À part du développement de l'application publique du droit de la concurrence, beaucoup d’attention a été consacrée les dernières années à l’application privée du droit de la concurrence dans l’Union européenne. Néanmoins, les actions en indemnisation introduites par les entreprises qui ont subi des dommages résultant de la violation du droit de la concurrence n’étaient pas trop répandues en Europe. Malgré le fait que depuis 1995 la loi albanaise sur la protection de la concurrence prévoit la possibilité d’introduire les actions en indemnisation par les entreprises qui ont subi des dommages resultant de la violation du droit de la concurrence, aucune de ces actions n’était pas été introduite en Albanie jusqu’à présent. Les raisons principales du non-développement de l’exécution privée du droit de la concurrence en Albanie sont : l’absence de la pratique judiciaire et l’absence de la doctrine juridique dans ce domaine. il faut aussi mentionner sur ce point l'incapacité des entreprises et des consommateurs albanais de répondre aux actions privées ce qui résulte du manque de connaissances en droit de la concurrence et l'absence d'un cadre juridique approprié pour les actions collectives. Le but de cet article est d’analyser l’état actuel de l’exécution privée du droit de la concurrence en Albanie. L’article met l’accent sur le cadre juridique actuel, y compris les obstacles à l’exécution privée du droit de la concurrence, et propose les améliorations qui devraient être introduites dans le droit de la concurrence, dans la procédure civile et dans le droit des obligations afin de changer cette situation.

Autor przedstawia argumenty dotyczące publicznoprawnego charakteru regulacji, jaką jest prawo konkurencji i skutków z tego wynikających, w szczególności w zakresie celów realizowanych regulacjami oraz kontroli nad orzecznictwem z tego zakresu, a także trudności z potencjalną egzekucją rozstrzygnięć zapadłych w arbitrażu.
This article is a voice in the discussion whether a competition law dispute may be resolved by way of arbitration. It constitutes a polemic response to an earlier article written by Piotr Nowaczyk and Szymon Syp who argue in favour of such a solution. By contrast, the author of this paper stresses the public-law character of competition law and the resulting repercussions, especially with respect to the goals of competition law and judicial control over its enforcement. The author notes also the potential difficulties with the execution of verdicts reached in arbitration.

Opis:
One common criticism of the EU’s competition regime is that it hinders adequate mitigation of crises by preventing a collaborative response to the problem. We suggest that this view is incorrect. We suggest that a collaborative response is unlikely to effectively mitigate most problems. Yet some forms of cooperation can facilitate a crisis solution. These may be at the margin of legality, giving uncertainty as to whether the proposed practice is permitted. With the possibility of significant penalties for competition infringements, most undertakings will not engage in such cooperative practices. There are significant legal and institutional impediments to providing this Guidance. Such gaps lead to uncertainty found in the nature of the EU competition rules and in NCA practice. We argue that the means forward is with greater engagement and guidance by the Commission and NCAs.
Une critique courante du régime de concurrence de l’Union européenne est qu’il entrave l’atténuation adéquate des crises en empêchant une réponse collaborative au problème. Nous suggérons que ce point de vue est incorrect. Nous suggérons qu’une réponse collaborative a peu de chances d’atténuer efficacement la plupart des problèmes. Pourtant, certaines formes de coopération peuvent faciliter la résolution d’une crise. Elles peuvent se situer à la limite de la légalité, ce qui crée une incertitude quant à savoir si la pratique proposée sera autorisée. Compte tenu de la possibilité de sanctions importantes en cas d’infraction à la concurrence, la plupart des entreprises ne s’engageront pas dans de telles pratiques de coopération. Il existe d’importants obstacles juridiques et institutionnels à la fourniture de ces orientations. Ces lacunes conduisent à l’incertitude que l’on retrouve dans la nature des règles de concurrence de l’Union européenne et dans la pratique des autorités nationales de la concurrence. Nous soutenons que la voie à suivre est celle d’un engagement et d’une orientation accrus de la part de la Commission et des autorités nationales.

What are the key factors motivating regulators to develop their own technological tools to enforce competition law?

Les récents développements technologiques transforment la manière don’t les règles de la concurrence sont appliquées et la manière dont les acteurs du marché enfreignent le droit de la concurrence. En conséquence, les autorités ont commencé à se doter d’outils d’investigation numériques sophistiqués. Cet article explore cet intérêt à construire un arsenal basé sur l’Intelligence Artificielle pour lutter contre les infractions algorithmiques. Quels sont les principaux facteurs qui motivent les autorités à développer leur propre équipement technologique pour faire respecter le droit de la concurrence ? En s’appuyant sur des entretiens avec certaines autorités de la concurrence, cet article constate que les changements survenus sur les marchés numériques, la nécessité d’appliquer la rétro-ingénierie aux algorithmes des entreprises afin de mieux comprendre leurs implications pour le droit de la concurrence, la nécessité d’améliorer l’efficacité et de suivre le rythme de l’évolution rapide de l’économie numérique, et enfin la diminution des demandes de clémence, sont autant de raisons pour lesquelles les autorités de concurrence devraient rechercher des moyens plus innovants et alternatifs pour dynamiser leurs enquêtes.

Opis:
The EU Antitrust Damages Actions Directive does not include provisions for collective redress. Each EU member state is free to provide national regulation on this matter. The Portuguese legal system provided regulation on actio popularis since 1995. The ‘rational apathy’ of individual consumers may lead to non-reparation of damage and be of significant benefit for the company that is in breach of the law. The opt-out models solve the crucial economic problem caused by a large number of consumers or clients who have suffered a small loss because of competition law infringements. Under those circumstances, it is rational to be apathetic, because it can be foreseen that the cost of filing for compensatory damages will exceed the recovery obtained from the defendant. Such rational apathy of the parties injured by competition law infringements favours the wrongfully acting companies by not extracting their illegal gains from them. By not requiring the active consent of each of the claimants, the opt-out model is able to override rational apathy of consumers.
La Directive 2014/104/UE du Parlement Européen et du Conseil du 26 Novembre 2014 relative à certaines règles régissant les actions en dommages et intérêts en droit national pour les infractions aux dispositions du droit de la concurrence des États membres et de l’Union européenne n’offre pas des normes sur l’action collective. Chaque État-membre est libre d’adopter ses normes sur ce sujet. L’ordre juridique portugais prévoit des normes sur l’actio popularis, depuis 1995. L’apathie rationnelle de chaque consommateur peut déclencher la non réparation des dommages causés par l’infraction des normes de concurrence. Cet effet signifie un bénéfice pour les entreprises qui violent le droit de la concurrence.Le system opt-out donne la solution pour le problème causé pour des nombreux consommateurs qui souffrent des modestes dommages causés par des violations du droit de la concurrence. En ces situations, il est rationnel ne pas réagir, parce que les couts sont supérieurs aux bénéfices. Cette apathie rationnelle favorise les entreprises qui violent le droit de la concurrence. Le system opt-out est capable de surmonter les effets de l’apathie rationnel .

Przedmiotowy artykuł1 stanowi ujęcie wybranych zagadnień prawnych dotyczących wzajemnych relacji pomiędzy międzynarodowym arbitrażem handlowym a prawem konkurencji. Dominująca perspektywa ujęcia tematyki zastosowana w artykule została określona jako perspektywa arbitra (rzecz jasna jako jedna z kilku możliwych). Autorzy wskazują na dwie kwestie węzłowe o znaczeniu uniwersalnym (międzynarodowym) będące odpowiedzią na pytania: 1) czy arbiter może (a może musi) stosować prawo konkurencji? (w kontekście dopuszczalności poddania sporu pod arbitraż); 2) które prawo konkurencji powinien stosować arbiter? Wywody w toku artykuły będą odnosiły się do abstrakcyjnego stanu faktycznego potencjalnego sporu, który zmuszony byłby rozstrzygnąć sąd arbitrażowy, a który zostanie rozstrzygnięty przez Autorów artykułu. Takie określenie tematyki pozwala następnie na wyciągnięcie wniosków de lege lata oraz de lege ferenda w zakresie relacji pomiędzy prawem konkurencji a międzynarodowym arbitrażem handlowym dla rozstrzygającego spory arbitra.
The subject-matter of this article encompasses selected legal issues on the relationship between international commercial arbitration and competition law. The main perspective used in this paper is that of an arbitrator (clearly being only one of several possible). The paper points to two main issues of universal (international) meaning in response to the following questions: 1) Can (or in fact must) the arbitrator apply competition law (in terms of admissibility of the submission of the dispute to arbitration)? 2) which competition law should the arbitrator apply? The arguments presented in the paper refer to a potential fact scenario of a dispute (one that would have to be settled by arbitration), which will be settled by the Authors. A few conclusions will be drawn de lege lata and de lege ferenda concerning the relationship between competition law and international commercial arbitration for the main actor resolving disputes – an arbitrator.

Opis:
The aim of this paper is to critically analyze the manner of harmonizing private enforcement in the EU. The paper examines the legal rules and, more importantly, the actual enforcement practice of collective consumer actions in EU Member States situated in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Collective actions are the key method of getting compensation for consumers who have suffered harm as a result of an anti-competitive practice. Consumer compensation has always been the core justification for the European Commission’s policy of encouraging private enforcement of competition law. In those cases where collective redress is not available to consumers, or consumers cannot apply existing rules or are unwilling to do so, then both their right to an effective remedy and the public policy goal of private enforcement remain futile. Analyzing collective compensatory actions in CEE countries (CEECs) places the harmonization process in a broader governance framework, created during their EU accession, characterized by top-down law-making and strong EU conditionality. Analyzing collective consumer actions through this ‘Europeanization’ process, and the phenomenon of vertical legal transplants, raises major questions about the effectiveness of legal transplants vis-à-vis homegrown domestic law-making processes. It also poses the question how such legal rules may depend and interact with market, constitutional and institutional reforms.

Opis:
The development of Serbian competition law started in 2005 with the adoption of its first modern Competition Act. National competition rules are generally harmonized with European Union law, especially following the adoption of the current Competition Act of 2009. However, several problems in competition law enforcement can be identified still, the importance of which increases as the effects of the current economic crisis spread. The paper focuses mainly on three problems specific to competition law enforcement in Serbia, a country with a weak economy. The first problem identified is that of a possibly privileged treatment of state-owned companies. The Competition Authority commenced so far only two proceedings against undertakings with state-owned capital. Furthermore, the Authority seems to accord insufficient attention to some industry sectors that are of special public interest, such as the production and trade of gas or oil, dominated by undertakings with state-owned capital. Sector-specific analyses undertaken by the Competition Authority did not result in any proceedings being initiated ex officio. The second problem identified in this paper is the reluctance of the Serbian Competition Authority to enforce competition rules in certain 'sensitive' situations. Instead of taking a pro-active approach, it sometimes seems that the Authority chooses to act as an 'advisor' of undertakings rather than an enforcer of competition law. Finally, the paper analyzes the activities of the Commission for State Aid Control, notorious for its perpetually positive approach towards institutions granting state aid.
Le développement du droit serbe de la concurrence a commencé en 2005, avec l’adoption de la première loi moderne relative à la protection de la concurrence. Les règles nationales de la concurrence sont généralement harmonisées avec le droit de l’Union européenne, en particulier suite à l’adoption de la loi relative à la protection de la concurrence en 2009. Pourtant, l’auteur identifie plusieurs problèmes relatifs à la mise en œuvre des règles de concurrence, dont l’importance a augmenté pendant la crise économique actuelle. L’article se concentre en particulier sur trois problèmes relatifs à la mise en ouvre des règles de concurrence en Serbie, un pays à difficultés économiques. Le premier problème identifié par l’auteur est relatif à un possible traitement préférentiel des entreprises publiques. Jusqu’à présent, l’Autorité de la concurrence n’a initié que deux procédures contre les entreprises publiques. De plus, il paraît que l’Autorité de la concurrence n’accorde pas suffisamment d’attention aux secteurs d’intérêt général, comme celui de la production et distribution de gaz, qui sont dominés par d’entreprises publiques. Les enquêtes sectorielles entreprises par l’Autorité de la concurrence dans ces secteurs n’ont abouti à aucune procédure initiée ex officio. Le deuxième problème identifié par l’auteur est celui de la réticence de l’Autorité de la concurrence d’initier des procédures dans certaines situations « sensibles ». Au lieu d’approche proactive, l’Autorité a choisi de jouer le rôle de « conseiller » d’entreprises dans certains cas. Finalement, l’auteur analyse les activités de la Commission pour le contrôle d’aides d’Etat, fameux pour la totalité de décisions déclarant l’aide compatible avec la loi.

Opis:
The aim of this paper is to provide an analysis of the commitments procedure under the Polish competition law, including both legal and economic perspective. The outcome of this research is supposed to help in estimation whether novel negotiated instruments may be successfully employed in the field of antitrust enforcement. Hence, the paper first introduces the legal background of the commitments decisions, with focus on the specific features of the procedure. Being a tool of antitrust enforcement, commitment decisions should contribute to its goals. Therefore, the paper identifies such objectives drawing on the economic literature. It is in the light of these criteria that the decision practice of the Polish competition authority, still in the stage of development, is subsequently evaluated. This assessment reveals circumstances, under which the competition authority is particularly apt to engage into commitments procedure. It allows also for a conclusion that the application of this negotiated instrument is in principle commensurate with the exigencies following from economic theory.
Le but de cet article est de présenter une analyse de la procédure d’engagements en droit polonais de la concurrence, d’un point de vue juridique et économique. Le résultat de cette recherche permettra d’estimer l’efficacité de ces nouvelles procédures négociées dans le domaine du droit de la concurrence. Ainsi, l’article introduit le cadre juridique de la procédured’engagements en Pologne, en se focalisant sur les éléments spécifiques d’un tel mécanisme. Instrument de mise en œuvre du droit de la concurrence, la procédure d’engagements devrait contribuer à accomplir les buts de cette politique. Par conséquent, l’article essaie d’identifier de tels objectifs, en s’appuyant sur la littérature économique. La pratique décisionnelle de l’autorité de la concurrence polonaise est par la suite analysée à la lumière de ces critères, tout en gardant à l’esprit qu’elle n’en est qu’à ses prémisses. Cette analyse revèle les circonstances dans lesquelles l’autorité de la concurrence est particulièrement susceptible de mettre en œuvre une procédure d’engagements. Elle nous permet aussi de constater que l’application des procédures négociées en Pologne est, en principe, conforme aux exigences relevant de la théorie économique. Néanmoins, quelques suggestions visant à l’amélioration de la procédure d’engagements sont proposées, au cas où cela soit nécessaire.

Opis:
Under the EU Merger Regulation, if the Commission has concerns that a merger may significantly affect competition in the European Union, the merging companies may propose modifications to the project that would guarantee continued competition on the market. The Commission may declare a concentration compatible with the common market following such a modification by the parties and attach to its decision conditions and obligations intended to ensure that the undertakings comply with the commitments. In other words, commitments have to be offered by the parties but the Commission may introduce conditions and obligations if they are required to ensure the enforceability of commitments. Meanwhile the scope to propose merger modifications and the level of discretion of the competition authority are quite different under the Law on Competition of the Republic of Lithuania, adopted almost two decades ago. The goal of this paper is to reveal those differences and, with the help of the jurisprudence of the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania in the Gazprom case, to explain how this may impact future cases.

Opis:
The paper aims at showing the influence and the views espoused by economic theories and schools of economics on competition policy embedded in antitrust law and conducted by competition authorities in the field of vertical agreements. The scope of the paper demonstrates how substantially the economization of antitrust law has changed the assessment as to the harmfulness of vertical agreements. The analysis of economic aspects of vertical agreements in antitrust analysis allows one to reveal their pro-competitive effects and benefits, with the consumer being their beneficiary. The basic instrument of the said economization is that antitrust bodies draw on specific economic models and theories that can be employed in their practice. Within the scope of the paper, the author synthesizes the role and influence of those models and schools of economics on the application of competition law in the context of vertical agreements. In presenting, one after another, the theories and schools of economics which used to, or are still dealing with competition policy the author emphasises that in its nature this impact was more or less direct. Some of them remain at the level of general principals and axiology of competition policy, while others, in contrast, delineate concrete evaluation criteria and show how the application of those criteria changes the picture of anti-competitive practices; in other words, why vertical agreements, which in the past used to be considered to restrain competition, are no longer perceived as such. The paper presents the models and recommendations of neoclassical economics, the Harvard School, the Chicago and Post-Chicago School, the ordoliberal school, the Austrian and neo-Austrian school as well as the transaction cost theory
L’article vise à montrer l’influence et les vues véhiculées par les théories économiques et les écoles d’économie sur la politique de la concurrence inscrite dans le droit de la concurrence et menée par les autorités de la concurrence dans le domaine des accords verticaux. La portée de l’article montre que l’économie du droit de la concurrence a considérablement modifié l’évaluation de la nocivité des accords verticaux. L’analyse des aspects économiques des accords verticaux dans l’analyse antitrust permet de révéler leurs effets et avantages pro concurrentiels, ayant le consommateur comme leur bénéficiaire. L’instrument de base de ladite économisation est que les organismes antitrust font appel à des modèles économiques spécifiques et des théories qui peuvent être utilisés dans leur pratique. Dans le cadre de cet article, l’auteur résume le rôle et l’influence de ces modèles et de ces écoles d’économie sur l’application du droit de la concurrence dans le contexte d’accords verticaux. En présentant, l’un après l’autre, les théories et les écoles de l’économie qui étaient ou sont encore aux prises avec la politique de la concurrence, l’auteur souligne que cet impact était plus ou moins directe. Certains d’entre eux restent au niveau des principes généraux et de l’axiologie de la politique de concurrence, tandis que d’autres, au contraire, définissent des critères d’évaluation concrets et montrent comment leur application modifie le tableau des pratiques anticoncurrentielles; en d’autres termes, l’article évalue pourquoi les accords verticaux, qui dans le passé étaient considérées restreindre la concurrence, ne sont plus perçus comme tels. L’article présente les modèles et les recommandations de l’économie néoclassique, de la Harvard School, de la Chicago and Post-Chicago School, de l’école ordinaire, de l’école autrichienne et néo-autrichienne, ainsi que de la théorie des coûts de transaction.

Because of their specific and dynamic nature, the application of competition law to online markets may prove challenging. Therefore, the focus will be also directed to challenges that could be faced when anti-competitive practices in e-commerce sector are strictly enforced. The question is whether traditional competition analysis may be sufficiently able to reflect the way in which competition takes place on digital markets.

Opis:
The aim of the paper is to present an insight into the challenges raised by digitalized and data-driven markets to competition policy and enforcement in the Big Data era. Focusing on the assessment of information exchange in the digitalized environment, traditional risk factors are analyized and it is argued that new risk factors can be identified. The paper provides an overview of relevant recent Hungarian case-law to examine the role of information exchange, taking place in a data environment that offers an increased amount of up-to-date and relevant market information for analysis. Further, the paper summarizes the enforcement responses to the demandside challenges raised by online platforms, user interfaces applying new approaches and practices that can directly influence consumer behavior. The consequence is drawn that the extended economic and IT-related argumentation may affect the nature of proceedings and some new phenomena, as the role of secondary intermediaries, integration of online and offline market segments open new fields for assessment.
L’objectif de cet article est de donner un aperçu des défis posés par les marchés de la numérisation et des données à la politique de la concurrence et à son application à l’ère des grandes données. En se concentrant sur l’évaluation de l’échange d’information dans l’environnement numérique, les facteurs de risque traditionnels sont analysés et on fait valoir que de nouveaux facteurs de risque peuvent être identifiés. Le texte donne un aperçu de la jurisprudence hongroise récente en la matière afin d’examiner le rôle de l’échange d’informations dans un environnement de données qui offre une quantité accrue d’informations actualisées et pertinentes sur le marché à analyser. En outre, l’article résume les mesures d’application de la loi prises pour relever les défis posés par les plateformes en ligne, dont les interfaces utilisateur appliquent de nouvelles approches et pratiques qui peuvent influencer directement le comportement des consommateurs. La conséquence en est que l’argumentation économique et informatique peut affecter la nature des procédures et certains phénomènes nouveaux, comme le rôle des intermédiaires secondaires, l’intégration des segments de marché en ligne et hors ligne ouvrant de nouveaux domaines d’évaluation.

Opis:
This article explores the role of sustainability in EU competition law from the perspective of the theory of legal realism. It addresses the issue by analysing three interrelated themes. It first outlines the main normative and methodological arguments of the protagonists and the opponents of a more societally engaged account of competition policy. Such an account pleads for a more permissive interpretation of competition rules. Secondly, it develops an account of competition law, basing on the premises of the legal realist tradition, adjusting legal realism to the needs and specificities of our field and our time, and submitting that this legal philosophical theory is well-suited for capturing the present discussion. Finally, it projects this jurisprudential theory of legal realism to an applied dimension, offering an outline of the central theoretical issue of a more societally inclusive EU competition policy: the issue of balancing incommensurable values.
Cet article explore le rôle de la durabilité dans le droit européen de la concurrence du point de vue de la théorie du réalisme juridique. Il examine la question en analysant trois thèmes interdépendants. Il expose tout d’abord les principaux arguments normatifs et méthodologiques des protagonistes et des opposants à une conception plus socialement engagée de la politique de concurrence. Une telle approche appelle à une interprétation plus permissive des règles de concurrence. Ensuite, il développe une analyse du droit de la concurrence, en se basant sur les prémisses de la tradition réaliste juridique, en ajustant le réalisme juridique aux besoins et aux spécificités de notre domaine et de notre époque, et en soutenant que cette théorie philosophique juridique est bien adaptée pour capturer la discussion actuelle. Enfin, il projette cette théorie jurisprudentielle du réalisme juridique vers une dimension appliquée, en offrant un aperçu de la question théorique centrale d’une politique de concurrence européenne plus inclusive sur le plan social: la question de l’équilibre entre des valeurs incommensurables.

Opis:
This article analyses the priorities of European competition law in the air transport sector in the light of the ongoing process of the industry’s consolidation. The oligopolistic nature of the airline business results in a natural tendency towards its concentration. From the standpoint of regulatory oversight, the question is how to manage or counteract this tendency in order to achieve defined policy goals. In this vein, European competition law has departed from the model whereby the competitive process in itself is the priority and turned to an instrumental approach, with preference given to the welfare of customers. This analysis will highlight three policy areas relevant to the discussed subject. It begins with antitrust law, with special emphasis on the sector-specific phenomenon of airline alliances; then discusses merger control, especially in the context of pro-competitive remedies, and finally State aid, with particular focus on the effects of the compensatory scaling-down of operations which are imposed on recipients of a rescue and restructuring aid grant.

Opis:
The Damages Directive introduces the right to ‘full compensation’ and the principle of ‘joint and several liability’ for antitrust damages (Article 3(1) and Article 11(1) respectively). The Directive does not determine the type of damage that can be awarded in civil proceedings. In theory, there are thus no barriers to establish punitive, multiple or other damages. In practice, it is rather unlikely that such types of damages will be awarded after the implementation of the Directive due to the ban placed on overcompensation in its Article 2(3). This paper will try to decode the concept of ‘full compensation’ and ‘joint and several liability’ in light of the Damages Directive as well as EU jurisprudence. An adequate understanding of these terms is without a doubt one of the key preconditions of correctly implementing the Directive and, consequently, a condition for making EU (competition) law effective. While on the one hand, a limitation of the personal scope of civil liability can currently be observed in EU law (covering both legislation and case law), a broadening of its subject-matter scope is visible on the other hand. With reference to the personal scope of civil liability, the Directive itself limits the applicability of the joint and several responsibility principle towards certain categories of infringers: small & medium enterprises (Article 11(2)) and immunity recipients in leniency (Article 11(3)). Considering the subject-matter scope of civil liability, the acceptance by the Court of Justice of civil liability for the ‘price umbrella effect’ should be highlighted. In addition, the principle of the ‘passing-on defence’ can also be regarded as a manner of broadening the scope of civil liability for antitrust damage (Article 12–16). The paper will present an overview of the scope of civil liability for antitrust damages (in its personal and subject-matter dimension) in light of the Directive and EU jurisprudence. The paper’s goal is to assess if the applicable scope will in fact guarantee the effective development of private competition law enforcement in EU Member States. This assessment, as the very title of this paper suggests, will be partially critical.

Opis:
Przedmiot badań: Obowiązek notyfikacji zamiaru utworzenia wspólnego przedsiębiorcy Prezesowi UOKiK w świetle przepisów ustawy o ochronie konkurencji i konsumentów budzi liczne wątpliwości interpretacyjne, których nie można rozwiązać poprzez analogię do zasady przyjętej w rozporządzeniu Rady (WE) nr 139/2004. Oba rozwiązania istotnie się różnią zarówno w zakresie przedmiotowym, jak i podmiotowym. Cel badawczy: Celem opracowania jest zbadanie konstrukcji prawnej i przesłanek obowiązku notyfikacji zamiaru utworzenia wspólnego przedsiębiorcy funkcjonującego w obu reżimach prawnych i ocena zasadności rozwiązań przyjętych w prawie polskim. W artykule przyjęto hipotezę, że obowiązek zgłoszeniowy w świetle przepisów ustawy o ochronie konkurencji i konsumentów (uokk) został sformułowany zbyt szeroko. Art. 13 ust. 2 pkt 3 uokk wymusza bowiem konieczność zgłoszenia wspólnych przedsiębiorców niestanowiących formy koncentracji i jest oderwany od obowiązującej w prawie unijnym zasady wspólnej kontroli wspólnego przedsiębiorcy, którego utworzenie stanowi stan faktyczny koncentracji. Metoda badawcza: W celu weryfikacji przyjętej hipotezy badawczej zastosowano metodę analizy aktów prawnych oraz decyzji Komisji Europejskiej i Prezesa UOKiK. Do analizy rozporządzenia Rady (WE) nr 139/2004 oraz przepisów uokk wykorzystano także metodę formalno-dogmatyczną, a także metodę prawno-porównawczą. Wyniki: W artykule wykazano, że funkcjonujący w prawie polskim obowiązek zgłoszeniowy jest sformułowany zbyt szeroko, gdyż obejmuje wspólnych przedsiębiorców, których utworzenie de facto nie spełnia przesłanek koncentracji.
Background: The obligation to notify the creation of a joint venture to the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) in the light of the provisions of the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection raises numerous interpretation doubts that cannot be resolved by analogy with the principle adopted in Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. Both solutions differ significantly. Research purpose: The study analyzes the obligation to notify in both legal regimes and assess the legitimacy of the solutions adopted in Polish national law. The hypothesis is that the obligation to notify in the light of Polish Act on Competition and Consumer Protection was formulated too broadly. Article 13 para. 2 point 3 of the Act enforces the need to notify about joint undertakings that are not a form of (economic) concentration and is detached from the principle of joint control established in the EU law, which is the necessary condition for determining concentration. Methods: In order to verify the adopted research hypothesis, an analysis of legal acts, decisions of the European Commission, and the President of UOKiK was conducted. In order to analyse the Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 and the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection both formal-dogmatic method of as well as a comparative legal analysis. Conclusions: It is concluded that the obligation to notify joint venture in Polish Competition Act is formulated too broadly, as it includes joint entrepreneurs whose creation does not in fact meet the conditions for concentration.

The paper reviews literature on theories of harm in digital markets, and the specific difficulties in quantifying the damage in private enforcement of competition law. The development of a tentative case-law on private enforcement in digital markets in the European Union is studied next, in comparison to the US antitrust practice, differentiating between businesses or consumers filing damages claims. Finally, the paper raises the specific issues posed by the digital economy for competition law claims for damages, and explores the idea of extending the presumption of harm also to abuse of dominance in digital markets, as well as making private parties aware of cease and desist injunctions or filing for private enforcement remedies.
L’article examine la littérature sur les théories du préjudice dans les marches numériques ainsi que les difficultés spécifiques liées à la quantification du dommage dans le cadre d’une action en dommage concurrentiel. Ensuite, le développement timide d’une jurisprudence des actions privées sur les marches numériques dans l’Union Européenne est étudié en comparaison avec la pratique antitrust américaine, en faisant la distinction entre les plaintes introduites par des entreprises ou des consommateurs. Enfin, le document soulève les problématiques spécifiques à l’introduction d’actions en dommages et intérêts concurrentiels sur les marchés numériques, et explore les propositions suivantes : étendre la présomption du dommage aux abus de positions dominantes sur les marchés numériques, inciter les parties privées à requérir des injonctions et encourager la mise en oeuvre de remèdes dans le cadre d’actions privées.

Opis:
Leniency programmes in competition law make it possible to grant immunity from fines, or a reduction of any fine that would otherwise have been imposed on an undertaking who was a party to an unlawful agreement restricting competition. This immunity or fine reduction is granted as a reward for the cooperation with the competition authority and the provision of evidence of an unlawful agreement restricting competition. Legal rules regarding the application of leniency programmes have been introduced at the EU level as well as in the national legislations of numerous countries, including Polish law. The author makes an attempt to establish the degree to which the Polish leniency programme is an effect of the impact of EU law or the application of law within the EU (for instance, by its institutions). The analysis has been made on three levels. Examined first was the degree to which the Polish leniency programme is a result of spontaneous harmonisation. Second, the impact of legislative harmonisation in the area of leniency programmes was taken into consideration. Finally, it was verified whether those Polish authorities that apply Polish competition law are inspired by judgements issued by EU courts in cases regarding leniency programmes
Les programmes de clémence prévus par le droit de la concurrence permettent d’accorder une immunité d’amende ou une réduction de toute amende qui aurait autrement été infligée à une entreprise partie à un accord illégal restreignant la concurrence. Cette immunité ou réduction d’amende est accordée à titre de récompense pour la coopération avec l’autorité de la concurrence et la fourniture de la preuve d’un accord illégal restreignant la concurrence. Les règles juridiques relatives à l’application des programmes de clémence ont été mis en place au niveau de l’UE, ainsi que dans les législations nationales de nombreux pays, y compris le droit polonais. L’auteur tente de déterminer dans quelle mesure le programme de clémence polonais est un effet de l’impact du droit de l’UE ou de l’application du droit au sein de l’UE (par exemple, par ses institutions). L’analyse a été faite à trois niveaux. Tout d’abord l’auteur examine dans quelle mesure le programme de clémence polonais résultait d’une harmonisation spontanée. Après, l’impact de l’harmonisation des législations dans le domaine des programmes de clémence a été prise en considération. Enfin, il a été vérifié si les autorités polonaises qui appliquent le droit de la concurrence polonais s’inspirent des décisions rendues par les tribunaux de l’Union européenne dans des affaires concernant des programmes de clémence

The paper examines strengths and weakness of the French system of competition enforcement, with the aim of contributing to the discussion on the institutional design of systems of competition law enforcement. In this regard, special attention will be devoted to choosing to introduce a clear separation between investigative and adjudicative functions within the same institution: while this solution ensures compliance with the impartiality principle, it also implies a lack of coordination between the board and the investigative services, which could have negative consequences for the administrative activity of the institution
L’article examine les forces et les faiblesses de l’Autorité de la concurrence française, dans le but de contribuer au débat sur la structure institutionnelle la plus appropriée pour les autorités de la concurrence. À cet égard, une attention particulière sera accordée à l’introduction – dans le même Autorité – d’une séparation entre les services d’instruction et le Collège: une solution qui assure l’impartialité des choix pris par l’institution, mais qui détermine aussi une manque de coordination entre le Collège et le Services d’instruction qui peut avoir des effets négatifs sur l’activité administrative de l’institution.

Celem opracowania jest analiza związku między deregulacją prawniczych zawodów zaufania publicznego a konkurencją na rynku usług prawniczych w Polsce. Konkurencja jest istotnym elementem rynku, również rynku usług prawniczych. Zawody prawnicze (adwokata, radcy prawnego, notariusza) są zawodami zaufania publicznego. Przesłanki ich deregulacji mają charakter ekonomiczny. Zamknięcie dostępu do tych zawodów może bowiem spowodować wiele negatywnych skutków ekonomicznych, takich jak wzrost stopy bezrobocia czy wzrost cen usług prawniczych z jednoczesnym pogorszeniem ich jakości.
Competition is an important part of the market, also the legal services market. Legal professions such as advocate, solicitor and notary are liberal professions. The aims of the deregulation have an economic background. Closing the access to these professions may cause such negative economic consequences as the increase rate of unemployment, or cost of state’s functioning. Moreover, the prices of legal services can rise and the quality if it can decline at the same time, which would affect the competition in a negative way. Therefore, the aim of the paper it to analyze if there are connections between the deregulation of legal professions and the competition on legal services market in Poland.

Opis:
The article reviews the jurisprudence of Lithuanian courts on private enforcement of competition law and identifies the main obstacles for the development of this practice. The analysis of the jurisprudence makes it possible to summarise that: most rulings of the Lithuanian courts relate to cases on the abuse of dominance; usually, dominant undertakings were allegedly applying discriminatory conditions towards the injured party and; most of the claims were presented as follow-on actions after a decision of the Competition Council. The courts held that damages caused by a breach of competition law have to be recovered in accordance with Lithuania’s main principles of civil responsibility. At the same time, the courts made it clear that their jurisprudence is based on the rulings of European Courts and the main principles of EU competition law. The main obstacles for the successful development of antitrust damages claims in Lithuania are, inter alia: complexity of competition cases; difficulty in obtaining substantive evidence; proving a consequential relationship and; high legal costs. The article also analyses substantial and procedural provisions of Lithuanian legislation that regulate the submission of antitrust damage claims.

Opis:
The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the application of competition law in the Slovak Republic since it became a member of the European Union 10 years ago. Special emphasis is placed on selected problems and questions which arose in the application of European competition rules and the need for an adjustment of Slovak competition legislation to EU requirements. The paper presents the relevant amendments in the Slovak Competition Act and analyses in detail their background. Slovak competition law has undergone many changes in the past 10 years, not always without problems. The aim of this paper is to identify the most important of those difficulties and explain why they have occurred. The correct application of national and EU competition rules by Slovak courts has proven to be one of the biggest challenge here, ultimately even causing the European Commission to intervene as amicus curiae. The actions taken by the European Commission in relation to competition matters within the Slovak Republic, and its resulting recommendations, will also be considered. The paper will outline how Slovak competition law has been step-by-step increasing its harmonisation with EU competition law over the last 10 years. Indeed, it is now possible to claim that Slovak competition legislation is fully harmonised with the rules of the European Union. The paper will thus mainly focus on those elements of Slovak law which can give a clear picture of the state of convergence of both legal systems. Nevertheless, the end of the road has not yet been reached. Further harmonisation of selected current topics within Slovak competition law will need to be assessed also. It will also be necessary to analyse which direction should Slovak competition law take in the future with regard to current EU trends. These issues include the need to find a balance between the protection of business secrets and the right of procedural parties to due process, especially in connection with the protection of leniency documents.
Cette contribution vise à fournir un aperçu de l'application de la loi sur la concurrence de la République slovaque au cours des 10 dernières années - depuis l'époque d’adhésion de la Slovaquie à l'UE. L’accent particulier est mis sur certains problèmes et questions qui se posent dans l'application des règles de concurrence de l'UE et sur la nécessité d'une adaptation du droit slovaque de la concurrence aux exigences de l'UE. Cet article présentera les changements pertinents dans la Loi slovaque sur la concurrence aussi qu’un analyse détaillé de l'arrière-plan de ces changements. Au cours des 10 dernières années, la loi slovaque de la concurrence a subi de nombreux changements – pas toujours sans problèmes. Le présent article tentera d'identifier les problèmes principaux et donner au lecteur une explication quant à la raison pour laquelle ils ont eu lieu. Dans ce sens-là, l'un des plus grands problèmes est la bonne application des règles nationales et communautaires de concurrence par les juridictions slovaques au moment de décider sur des affaires relatives à la concurrence. Cela a même abouti à la nécessité pour la Commission européenne d'intervenir comme un amicus curiae. Cet article vise également à fournir une analyse des actions de la Commission européenne en ce qui concerne les questions de concurrence en Slovaquie et les recommandations qui en découlent. Le présent article tente de présenter la manière dont le droit slovaque de la concurrence a suivi, étape par étape, un chemin vers l'harmonisation avec le droit communautaire de la concurrence au cours des 10 dernières années. Aujourd'hui, nous pouvons déjà affirmer que la réglementation juridique slovaque de droit de la concurrence est entièrement harmonisée avec la réglementation juridique de l'UE. Par conséquent, nous concentrerons notre attention sur les points dans la loi slovaque qui peuvent donner une image claire de la convergence de ces deux règlements juridiques. Néanmoins, nous ne sommes pas encore à la fin de la route. L'harmonisation supplémentaire de certains sujets actuels dans le droit slovaque de la concurrence devra être évaluée et il sera nécessaire d'analyser la direction vers l'avenir, en particulier ce qui sera le meilleur pour le droit de la concurrence slovaque en ce qui concerne les tendances actuelles dans le droit de la concurrence de l'UE. Parmi ces questions, il y a une nécessité d'un équilibre entre la protection des secrets d'affaires et le droit des participants à la procédure de concurrence pour un procès équitable, en particulier dans le cadre de la protection des documents de clémence.

Przedmiotowy artykuł stanowi próbę oceny planowanych zmian w prawie konkurencji. Autorzy w sposób szczegółowy omawiają konstrukcję prawną, która stanowić ma novum w polskim prawie konkurencji: instytucję leniency plus. Polegać ma ona na przyznaniu dodatkowej obniżki kary pieniężnej dla przedsiębiorcy (leniency plus), który złożył wniosek leniency, ale nie udało mu się uzyskać odstąpienia od wymierzenia kary pieniężnej, a który zdecydował się na ujawnienie Prezesowi Urzędu Ochrony Konkurencji i Konsumentów dodatkowych informacji o innym, dotychczas nieznanym – niedozwolonym porozumieniu, w którym bierze udział. Systematyka wywodu obejmuje w pierwszej kolejności omówienie instytucji leniency plus wraz ze stanowiskiem (również krytycznym) autorów co do jej uzasadnienia ekonomicznego, proponowanego kształtu i wpływu na wzrost wykrywalności porozumień antykonkurencyjnych. Wreszcie trzon wywodu stanowią uwagi dotyczące rozumienia tzw. inności porozumienia i wybranych, związanych z tym problemów konstrukcyjnych.
This paper aims to assess the planned changes to the Polish Competition Act of 2007 discussing in detail the introduction of a legal institution which is a novum for the Polish legal system – leniency plus. The goal of leniency plus is to grant an additional fine reduction to an entrepreneur that submitted an unsuccessful leniency application (which, under the current law, would not give rise to a fine reduction), but disclosed to the NCA information on another, so far unknown illegal agreement in which that company participates. The paper first discusses the institution of leniency plus and criticizes its economic justification, its proposed form and in determining the meaning of “another” agreement.

Opis:
This article focuses on the personal liability of managers of undertakings for breaches of competition law. This article starts with a review of the sanction regime for managers of undertakings according to the Competition law of the Republic of Lithuania. Reviewed are legal provisions and judicial practice of the Lithuanian courts starting from 2017, that is, when the first request to sanction a manager of an undertaking was submitted to the court by the Competition Council (CC). It is pointed out that in most cases the courts do not fully accept the requests of the CC with respect to the severity of the sanctions to be imposed on managers. The second part of the Article comprehensively analyses the case-law of administrative courts of the Republic of Lithuania, and presents key elements of the imposition of sanctions on company managers. Firstly, in exceptional circumstances, courts may impose a lower penalty than the one specified by competition law. Secondly, the courts may impose both, the main sanction as well as an additional one, or any of them. Thirdly, the level of sanctions should be determined the light of the fines imposed on undertakings for their infringements of competition law. The article concludes with a short summary.
Cet article se concentre sur la responsabilité personnelle des dirigeants d’entreprise pour les infractions au droit de la concurrence. Cet article commence par l’examen du régime de sanction des dirigeants d’entreprises selon la loi sur la concurrence de la République de Lituanie. Nous examinons les dispositions légales et la pratique judiciaire des tribunaux lituaniens à partir de 2017, date à laquelle la première demande de sanction à l’encontre d’un dirigeant d’entreprise a été déposée. Il est souligné que dans la plupart des cas, les tribunaux ne satisfont pas entièrement les demandes du Conseil de la concurrence en ce qui concerne la sévérité des sanctions imposées aux dirigeants. Dans la deuxième partie de l’article, nous analysons en détail la jurisprudence des tribunaux administratifs de la République de Lituanie et révélons les éléments clés pour l’imposition de sanctions aux dirigeants. Premièrement, dans des circonstances exceptionnelles, les tribunaux peuvent imposer une sanction inférieure à celle prévue par la loi. Deuxièmement, les tribunaux peuvent imposer à la fois des sanctions principales et des sanctions supplémentaires ou n’importe laquelle d’entre elles. Troisièmement, le niveau des sanctions doit être déterminé à la lumière des amendes imposées aux entreprises pour des infractions au droit de la concurrence. L’article se termine par un bref résumé.

Opis:
The article compares the institutional designs and historic legacy of the Slovenian and Serbian competition enforcement framework, and discusses the advantages and drawbacks of each model. Slovenia implemented a mixed model, where the competition enforcement procedure is divided into functionally separate investigation and misdemeanour administrative procedures for the imposition of sanctions. The Slovenian model has generally been perceived as inefficient, with specific difficulties arising from the unclear relationship between the administrative and the misdemeanour procedures. On the other hand, Serbia significantly changed its institutional design in 2009 from its Austrian-inspired roots to a single administrative procedure. The new system appears to have been more effective, but strong judicial safeguards are necessary. The Authors further review the matter from a national and international point of view, considering the ECN+ Directive and the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and European Court of Human Rights.
L’article compare les conceptions institutionnelles et l’héritage historique du cadre slovène et serbe d’application des règles de concurrence, et examine les avantages et les inconvénients de chaque modèle. La Slovénie a mis en oeuvre un modèle mixte, dans lequel la procédure d’application des règles de concurrence est répartie entre des procédures administratives d’enquête et de sanction fonctionnellement distinctes. Le modèle slovène a été généralement perçu comme peu efficace, avec des difficultés spécifiques dues au manque de clarté des relations entre les procédures administratives et les procédures pénales. D’autre part, la Serbie a considérablement modifié sa conception institutionnelle en 2009, passant de ses traditions d’inspiration autrichienne à une procédure administrative unique. Le nouveau système semble avoir été plus efficace, mais de solides sauvegardes juridictionnelles sont nécessaires. Les auteurs examinent la question d’un point de vue national et international, en tenant compte de la directive ECN+ et de la jurisprudence de la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne et de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme.

Opis:
Although the instances of application of Article 102(c) TFEU can hardly be described as rare, to date it has been applied to essentially two sets of diverging situations, namely to discrimination on grounds of nationality on the one hand, and other forms of discrimination on the other. While there is a relatively high number of instances of the former category of applications, and the criteria of the application of Article 102(c) TFEU to such situations seem straightforward, fewer cases exist in which Article 102(c) TFEU was applied to non-exclusionary secondary line discrimination on grounds other than nationality, and the criteria of application are arguably less clear. The judgment in case C-525/16 MEO represents a significant, yet not a revolutionary step in its interpretation. While in some respects, it may be seen as bringing some novelty (for example, the delineation of the respective scopes of application of Article 102(b) and Article 102(c) TFEU), in others (that is, the notion of competitive disadvantage), it rather confirms the principles which have been previously established. Arguably, the Court’s teaching on the elements which the competition authorities and courts across the EU may have at their disposal to establish the existence of competitive disadvantage, within the meaning of Article 102(c) TFEU, is open to various interpretations. Yet it does to a certain extent shape the toolkit that these authorities and courts may have at their disposal and leaves some room for reasonable welfare related arguments.
Bien que les cas d’application de l’article 102, point c), du TFUE puissant difficilement être considérés comme rares, ils ont été appliqués jusqu’à present à deux ensembles de situations essentiellement différentes: la discrimination fondée sur la nationalité, d’une part, et les autres formes de discrimination, d’autre part. Si le nombre de cas de la première catégorie de demandes est relativement élevé et si les critères d’application de l’article 102, point c), du TFUE à de tells situations semblent simples, il existe moins de cas où l’article 102, point c), du TFUE a été appliqué à une discrimination secondaire non exclusive fondée sur des motifs autres que la nationalité, et les critères d’application sont sans doute moins clairs. La décision rendue dans l’affaire C-525/16 MEO représente une étape importante, mais non révolutionnaire. Elle peut être considérée, à certains égards, comme apportant une certaine nouveauté (par exemple, la delimitation des champs d’application respectifs de l’article 102, point b), et de l’article 102, point c), du TFUE), mais elle confirme plutôt les principes qui ont été établis antérieurement (i.e., la notion de désavantage concurrentiel). L’enseignement de la Cour sur les éléments dont les autorités de concurrence et les juridictions de l’UE peuvent disposer pour établir l’existence d’un désavantage concurrentiel, au sens de l’article 102, point c), du TFUE, peut sans doute être interprété de diverses manières. Pourtant, elle détermine dans une certaine mesure les instruments don’t les autorités et les tribunaux peuvent disposer et laisse une certaine place à des arguments raisonnables liés au bien-être.

Opis:
Competition Law is an important aspect of free market economy. It determines the functioning of the economic system based on the free market principles of supply and demand. Competition law is in the initial stage of its implementation in the Republic of Kosovo. Its development began in 2004 with the adoption of Kosovo’s Law on Competition, the country’s very first law passed to regulate the legal basis of free market competition. The Law on Competition of 2004 had many shortcomings both with respect to its content and implementation. New legislation was thus passed in 2010 under the name the Law on the Protection of Competition. The latter act is in force now along with an Amendment that entered into force in early 2014. Taken in its entirety, Kosovo’s competition law meets the standards and is in accordance with EU legislation. Kosovo, although it is only in the initial stage of its contractual relations with the EU, has aligned most of its laws with the requirements of EU legislation. Kosovo is Europe’s youngest country and as such, it has various problems when it comes to the functioning of the rule of law. This paper will discuss several topics related to the development of competition law in Kosovo including: the political, legal and economical situation in the field of competition law; the legal bases for the protection of competition in Kosovo; the Kosovo Competition Authority and the insufficiency in its capacities to combat competition law infringements; legal provisions on restrictive practices and merger control. The paper also includes comprehensive conclusions. A number of competition cases deal with by the Kosovo Competition Authority will be mentioned throughout the paper.

Opis:
This paper provides a study of the interaction between public and private enforcement of Lithuanian antitrust law. The study refers to the Damages Directive. It has been found that private enforcement depends greatly on public enforcement of competition law. Therefore, their compatibility and balance are of great importance to antitrust policy. The Lithuanian NCA prioritises cases where an economic effect on competition does not have to be proven. This creates uncertainty about the outcome of private enforcement cases. Private enforcement in Lithuania is also in need of detailed rules on the identification of harm and causality. The analysis reveals how challenging it can be to estimate and prove harm or a causal link in private enforcement cases. Support from the NCA is therefore exceedingly needed. Moreover, even though the use of the leniency programme helps, it remains insufficient to solve the problem of under-deterrence. However, measures introduced by the Damages Directive do not make the leniency programme safe.

Opis:
This article studies the private enforcement conducted in Visita v Booking from the perspective of the interaction between public and private enforcement of competition law. This case concerned the question whether the narrow MFN clauses maintained by Booking were contrary to Article 101 TFEU and could therefore be prohibited by a Swedish court. The focus of this article is placed on the assessment carried out by the Swedish courts to determine whether the MFN clauses were restrictive of competition by effect and on the standard of proof attached to the claimant in this regard. With regard to the interaction between public and private enforcement, Visita v. Booking is viewed as an illustration of the increased complexity of competition policy, in particular were novel practices are at issue.
Cet article examine l’application privée pour les infractions aux dispositions du droit de la concurrence menée dans l’affaire Visita contre Booking en ce qui concerne l’interaction avec l’application publique du droit de la concurrence. Cette affaire portait sur la question de déterminer si les clauses de la Nation la Plus Favorisée restrictives appliquées par Booking étaient contraires à l’article 101 du TFUE et pouvaient donc être interdites par un tribunal suédois. Le présent article est centré sur l’évaluation effectuée par les juridictions suédoises afin de déterminer si les clauses de la Nation la Plus Favorisée étaient restrictives de la concurrence par effet et sur le niveau de preuve attaché à cet égard. En ce qui concerne l’interaction entre l’application publique et privée, l’affaire Visita v. Booking est considérée comme une illustration de la complexité accrue de la politique de concurrence, en particulier lorsque des pratiques nouvelles sont en cause.

Opis:
Istotnym zagadnieniem prawnym, które zostało podjęte w artykule jest obowiązek zgłoszenia zamiaru koncentracji leżący po stronie obligatariusza (ewentualnie wspólnie obligatariuszy) obligacji zamiennych w świetle przepisów ustawy z dnia 29 czerwca 1995 r. o obligacjach oraz ustawy z dnia 16 lutego 2007 r. o ochronie konkurencji i konsumentów. Dotychczas obowiązki administracyjnoprawne z zakresu prawa kontroli koncentracji (czy też, prawidłowo ujmując, nadzoru nad koncentracjami), wynikające z realizacji prawa zamiany inkorporowanego w obligacjachzamiennych, nie były przedmiotem rozważań w piśmiennictwie. Należy się jednak spodziewać, że wraz z upowszechnieniem i zwiększeniem popularności emisji obligacji zamiennych, kwestie: „momentu” zgłoszenia zamiaru koncentracji oraz skutki jego braku mogą mieć istotne znaczenie dla prawidłowej realizacji uprawnień obligatariuszy tych instrumentów hybrydowych. W pierwszej kolejności warto przybliżyć charakterystykę prawną oraz ekonomiczną obligacji zamiennych. Po wtóre, wskazać źródło obowiązku obligatariuszy w zakresie zgłoszenia zamiaru koncentracji Prezesowi Urzędu Ochrony Konkurencji i Konsumentów. Wreszcie, należy się zastanowić nad prawidłowością rozwiązań prawnych w kontekście „praktycznych” aspektów związanych z konwersją obligacji zamiennych na akcje dokonywaną przez obligatariuszy.
This article focuses on the important legal requirement to notify a merger imposed upon the holders of convertible bonds by the Act of 29 June 1995 on Bonds and the Act of 16 February 2007 on Competition and Consumer Protection. Literature has not yet considered administrative obligations resulting from merger control rules based on the execution of the conversion right incorporated in such bonds. With the spread and increasing popularity of convertible bonds, it is to be expected however that a properly determined timeframe for a merger notification (to the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection), as well as the consequences of a failure to notify, may be of importance to holders of convertible bonds. Considered first in the article is the legal and economic characteristics of convertible bonds. Identified next is the source of the duty placed on convertible bondholders to notify a merger. Finally, the article examines the applicable legal solutions from the point of view of the “practical” aspects of the conversion of such bonds carried by their holders.

Opis:
The judgement of EU Court of Justice in response to the request for a preliminary ruling by the Polish Supreme Court confirms that the principle of ne bis in idem, enshrined in Article 50 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, must be interpreted as not precluding a national competition authority from fining an undertaking in a single decision for an infringement of national competition law and for an infringement of Article 82 EC (now Article 102 TFEU). In that regard it can be concluded that the judgement does not have anything new and is just a confirmation of settled case-law. Unfortunately, this case represents a lost opportunity to review the ‘double barrier’ doctrine and to clarify if the relationship between European and national competition law is one of ‘bilateral specialty’ or not.
L’arrêt de la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne en réponse à la demande de décision préjudicielle de la Cour suprême polonaise confirme que le principe ne bis in idem, consacré à l’article 50 de la Charte des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne, doit être interprété en ce sens qu’il ne s’oppose pas à ce qu’une autorité nationale de concurrence inflige une amende à une entreprise dans une decision unique pour infraction au droit national de la concurrence et pour infraction à l’article 82 CE (devenu article 102 TFUE). A cet égard, on peut conclure que l’arrêt ne comporte rien de nouveau et ne constitue qu’une confirmation d’une jurisprudence constante. Malheureusement, cette affaire représente une occasion manquée de revoir la doctrine de la «double barrière» et de clarifier si la relation entre le droit européen et national de la concurrence est une «spécialité bilatérale» ou pas.

Opis:
Based on the Commission’s investigation into Amazon’s practices, the article analyses whether Amazon’s use of sensitive data from independent retailers who sell via its marketplace may raise anticompetitive concerns and, if so, how they should be tackled, in particular, whether competition law is the right tool to address these concerns. Amazon’s conduct, which is being investigated by the Commission, does not easily fit in with well-established theories of harm. Therefore, it is proposed to develop new theories of harm that would be specifically tailored to challenges of digital markets and online platforms’ business models. Amazon’s conduct could be regarded as a forced free-riding, predatory copying, abusive leveraging or self-preferencing. It is also argued that some of the competition concerns that may arise from the use of competitors’ data by online intermediation platforms such as Amazon could be more efficiently tackled by introducing a regulation, such as the Digital Markets Act.
Sur la base de l’enquête de la Commission sur les pratiques d’Amazon, l’article analyse si l’utilisation par Amazon de données sensibles provenant de détaillants indépendants qui vendent par l’intermédiaire de sa place de marché peut soulever des problèmes anticoncurrentiels et, dans l’affirmative, comment les aborder et, en particulier, si le droit de la concurrence est le bon outil pour répondre à ces préoccupations. Le comportement d’Amazon, qui fait l’objet d’une enquête de la Commission, ne s’inscrit pas facilement dans le cadre de théories de préjudice établies. Il est donc proposé de développer de nouvelles théories du préjudice qui seraient spécifiquement adaptées aux défis des marchés numériques et des modèles économiques des plateformes en ligne. Le comportement d’Amazon pourrait être considéré comme un parasitisme forcé, une copie prédatrice, un effet de levier abusif ou un auto-référencement. Il est également soutenu que certains des problèmes de concurrence pouvant découler de l’utilisation des données des concurrents par des plateformes d’intermédiation en ligne telles qu’Amazon pourraient être résolus plus efficacement par l’introduction d’une réglementation, telle que la legislation sur les marchés numériques.

ne bis in idem
Opis:
The source of the ne bis in idem principle in European Union law is found in both the Protocol no. 7 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (Convention) and in the legal systems of many Member States. It is enshrined in the jurisprudence of the EU courts as a general principle of EU law. Furthermore, it has also been introduced into some international agreements concluded by the Member States, i.e. the Convention on the protection of the European Communities’ financial interests and the Convention on the fight against corruption, which remain an integral part of EU legislation, as well as in the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement, which has been progressively integrated into EU legislation. Following the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, which incorporates the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (Charter) into EU primary law, the provision on the application of the ne bis in idem principle is now applied in the European Union in areas broader than just the scope of the three above-mentioned Conventions. The significance of this principle may also be strengthened following the accession of the EU to the Convention, as has been set forth in the new Article 6(2) TEU. The ne bis in idem principle has found its own, lasting place among the rights and guarantees of undertakings in proceedings conducted by the Commission and the national competition authorities (NCAs) of the Member States aimed at prosecuting and/or sanctioning parties for agreements non-compliant with EU competition law. However, it is still not applied in proceedings against agreements having a scope which transcends EU borders, conducted by the Commission or the NCAs of Member States on the one hand, and by the competition authorities of non-member States on the other. This approach is grounded both in the provisions of the Convention and in the provisions of the Charter.
Le principe ne bis in idem trouve sa source aussi bien dans le Protocole no 7 de la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme (Convention) que dans les systèmes juridiques des États membres. Dans le droit de l’Union européenne, il est présent dans la jurisprudence des juges communautaires en tant que règle générale du droit communautaire. Avec l’entrée en vigueur du traité de Lisbonne, qui inclut la Charte des droits fondamentaux (Charte) dans le droit primaire de l’UE, l’Union européenne s’est dotée aussi d’un texte relatif à l’application du principe ne bis in idem dans un champ beaucoup plus large que pour les affaires relevant des trois conventions susmentionnées. L’importance de ce principe peut aussi être corroborée par l’adhésion de l’UE à la Convention, ce que prévoit l’art. 6 nouveau, al. 2 du TUE. Le principe ne bis in idem a sa place assurée parmi les droits et garanties reconnus à l’entrepreneur dans le cadre des procédures menées par la Commission et les autorités nationales de concurrence, soit la poursuite et sanction des accords non conformes au droit communautaire de la concurrence. Cependant, il n’est pas appliqué en cas de procédures relatives à des accords dont la portée dépasse le territoire de l’UE, menées par la Commission ou une autorité nationale de concurrence d’une part et les autorités de concurrence de pays tiers d’autre part. Ceci est motivé aussi bien par les clauses de la Convention que celles de la Charte.

Artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie problematyki rozwoju elektromobilności w Polsce w kontekście wybranych zagadnień prawa konkurencji. Rozważania te, poprzedzone są ogólną charakterystyką polityki państwa zawartą w dokumentach strategicznych określających ramy rozwoju tego sektora. Obecnie elektromobilność jest jednym z fundamentalnych założeń polskiej gospodarki. Ma charakter wielopoziomowy oraz wielopodmiotowy – wymaga współpracy wielu zróżnicowanych podmiotów, to znaczy podmiotów publicznych (władzy centralnej oraz samorządowej), podmiotów prywatnych (sektor techniczny), a także podmiotów ze sfery biznesu oraz nauki. Jest nową dziedziną, będącą w procesie rozwoju. Artykuł obejmuje zagadnienia dotyczące celów, instrumentów oraz działalności różnych podmiotów w tym obszarze. Odnosi się do wybranych zagadnień dotyczących prawa konkurencji, przede wszystkim do monopoli, oligopoli oraz do porozumień pomiędzy przedsiębiorstwami. Kwestia porozumień została przedstawiona z perspektywy szans oraz zagrożeń dla polskiej gospodarki. Szczególna uwaga została skupiona na rozróżnieniu współpracy pomiędzy przedsiębiorstwami, która jest destrukcyjna od takiej, która jest konstruktywna, wręcz pożądana i cechuje się niską szkodliwością.
This article aims to present an issue of development of electromobility in Poland from the point of view of selected issues of competition law taking into account the instruments contained in the strategic documents defining the development framework for this sector. At present electromobility is one of the fundamental assumptions of the Polish economy. It has a multi-level and multi-entity character - it requires cooperation of many diverse entities, i.e. public entities (central and local governments), private entities (technical sector), as well as entities from business and science industry. It is a new field that is under development. The article covers issues related to the goals, instruments and activities of various entities in this area. It refers to selected issues related to the competition law, first of all to monopolies, oligopolies and to agreements between enterprises. The issue of agreements was presented from the perspective of opportunities and threats to the Polish economy. Particular attention has been focused on the distinction of cooperation between enterprises, both destructive and constructive, with the latter being desirable and characterized as of minor harm.

Data has begun to play a vital role in global, EU-wide and domestic economies. On 19 February 2020, the European Commission published the EU’s strategy for data, which outlines a new and unprecedented approach to development. The vision thus described – a data-driven economy – is to be implemented within the next five years.However, this broad undertaking gives rise to a number of legal, economic and social issues which deserve to be more thoroughly examined. In this paper, the author considers how the data economy relates to aspects of competition law, including threats associated with the sharing of confidential company data, and information protected under intellectual property laws, among the participants of the market economy, i.e. businesses. Also, observations are made concerning the hypothetical emergence of monopolies and oligopolies, as well as collusive agreements between enterprises on the grounds of the new approach to development.

The case commentary examines the recent ruling of the Court of Justice in the Nordzucker case. This judgment is important not only for the new approach to the ne bis in idem principle in competition law (which was first established in the Bpost case, issued the same day), but also for the clarification of the concept of “idem” with respect to the territorial effects of the infringement on the territories of two member states. The judgment thus provides guidance for the extraterritorial application of EU competition law.
Le commentaire porte sur l’arrêt rendu récemment par la Cour de justice dans l’affaire Nordzucker. Cet arrêt est important non seulement en raison de la nouvelle approche du principe ne bis in idem en matière de droit de la concurrence (qui avait été établi pour la première fois dans l’arrêt bpost publié le même jour), mais aussi en raison de la clarification du terme “idem” en ce qui concerne les effets territoriaux de l’infraction sur les territoires de deux États membres. Ainsi, l’arrêt fournit une orientation pour l’application extraterritoriale du droit européen de la concurrence.

Opis:
This paper aims to discuss the role of the judiciary in the effective, or ineffective, enforcement of competition law. It analyses those jurisdictions that can still be considered ‘new’ in the field of competition law, in particular the case of Kosovo, and by using qualitative research methods. The paper addresses the main findings characterizing the weak enforcement of competition law by the judiciary in Kosovo over a period of a decade, that is, from when the courts have started hearing competition cases since 2010. On the other hand, the paper places special attention to the establishment of the Commercial Court in Kosovo in 2022, which now has jurisdiction over the judicial review of competition decisions. The last part of the paper considers recent legal changes in the field of private enforcement of competition law. Kosovo’s new competition legislation, approved in 2022, expressly provides for the right to compensation for damage.
Cet article vise à examiner le rôle du pouvoir judiciaire dans l’application du droit de la concurrence, qu’elle soit efficace ou inefficace. Il analyse les juridictions qui peuvent encore être considérées comme « nouvelles » dans le domaine du droit de la concurrence, en particulier le cas du Kosovo, en utilisant des méthodes de recherche qualitatives. Cet article aborde les principales conclusions caractérisant la faible application du droit de la concurrence par le système judiciaire au Kosovo sur une période de dix ans, c’est-à-dire à partir du moment où les tribunaux ont commencé à entendre des affaires de concurrence en 2010. D’autre part, l’article accorde une attention particulière à la création du Tribunal de commerce du Kosovo en 2022, qui est désormais compétent pour le contrôle judiciaire des décisions en matière de concurrence. La dernière partie du présent article examine les changements juridiques récents dans le domaine de l’application privée du droit de la concurrence. La nouvelle législation kosovare sur la concurrence, approuvée en 2022, prévoit expressément le droit à la réparation des dommages.

Legal Professional Privilege is a material procedural safeguard that ensures protection of communication between undertaking and its legal counsel in the competition law. It is essential to differentiate the rules governing European and Polish antitrust proceedings in order to guarantee undertakings the widest possible protection against the search of premises. In each case when the primary aim of administrative regulations is to penalize the entrepreneurs for illegal conduct, it should be assured that at least similar safeguards to these adopted in criminal proceedings are secured.

Opis:
For many years, exclusivity payments and its specific type – loyalty rebates – were treated by the European Commission (Commission) as restrictions by object. This approach has been gradually revised towards a more effect-based reasoning. In the Guidance on the Commission’s enforcement priorities in applying Article 82 of the EC Treaty to abusive exclusionary conduct by dominant undertakings (Guidance), the Commission demonstrated its willingness to follow the so-called ‘economic approach’. In particular, the Commission announced that for price-based exclusionary conduct the so-called ‘as-efficient competitor’ test (AEC test) is going to be used. This article aims to verify whether the Commission followed the Guidance in its assessment of exclusionary practices in two cases, Qualcomm and Google (Android), considered by the Author as an opportunity to make a move from a form-based to an economic-based approach. In his considerations, the Author provides proposals on how the practice of the Commission should be changed to ensure dominant undertakings are provided with a sufficient level of legal certainty.
Pendant de nombreuses années, les paiements d’exclusivité et le type spécifique de rabais de fidélité ont été traités par la Commission européenne (la Commission) comme des restrictions par objet. Cette approche a été progressivement révisée en faveur d’un raisonnement fondé sur les effets. Dans les Orientations sur les priorités retenues par la Commission pour l’application de l’article 82 du Traité CE aux pratiques d’éviction abusives des entreprises dominantes (Orientations), la Commission a démontré sa volonté de suivre l’approche “économique”. En particulier, la Commission a annoncé que pour les pratiques d’exclusion fondées sur les prix, le test du “concurrent le plus efficace” sera utilisé. Cet article vise à vérifier si la Commission a suivi les lignes directrices dans son évaluation des pratiques d’exclusion dans deux affaires, Qualcomm et Google (Android), considérées par l’auteur comme des occasions de passer d’une approche fondée sur la forme à une approche économique. Dans ses considérations, l’Auteur fournit des propositions sur la manière dont la pratique de la Commission devrait être modifiée afin de garantir que les entreprises dominantes bénéficient d’un niveau suffisant de sécurité juridique.

Opis:
The most important development in the liner shipping industry last 10 years was the repeal of the block exemption that Liner freight conferences had received in the European Union (EU) with regard to price and capacity settings. From of 18 October 2008, former members of the Far East Freight Conference have had to establish their specific rates and freight additions, resulting in different rates and amounts applied across the board. This paper examines the general conditions of competition in a market economy, as well as special conditions for competition in the market for liner transportation, regarding descriptive analysis summarized the available information on the subject. The study is based on EU documents, official EU reviews, and paper of international researchers on the issue of current state and prospects of liner shipping market development. In particular, the history of the emergence and formation of linear conferences and overviews the European Union decision and impact of the repealing it’s block exemption from European competition law for Liner shipping conferences. As a result, the causes and implications were identified of these changes to liner container shipping industry.

Opis:
There are two types of conditions relating to the provision of airport services- conditions resulting from competition law and conditions resulting from sectoral regulations. These conditions differ mainly in the nature of public intervention. Present competition law considerations of airport services in the EU and Poland derive from legislation and case law on the three major areas of application of the competition rules of (mainly) European Union: the prohibition of restrictive practices (agreements restricting competition and abuse of a dominant position) , preventive merger control and prohibition of anti-competitive practices. In all these areas could potentially occur violations of competition rules, both by airport managers and the airport users.

Opis:
Albania was one of the last countries in Europe to adopt a free market economy after suffering from one of the worst dictatorial communist regimes in the world. In order to succeed in its efforts to establish a free market economy, Albania needed to undertake a set of reforms to modernize its economy in order to cope with the new reality of global markets and Euro-Atlantic integration. An important aspect of these reforms is also the implementation of a competition law in line with the acquis an its effective implementation. A lot has been achieved in the last ten years but there is a lot to be done still in order to facilitate a competitive economy able to cope with Albania’s EU integration. The work of the ACA is only one aspect of this process, but it is of utmost importance for the development of the national economy and successful EU membership.

Opis:
Artykuł stanowi analizę inicjatywy Komisji Europejskiej dotyczącej wprowadzenia nowego, komplementarnego narzędzia do przepisów unijnego prawa konkurencji. Inicjatywa ta ma być jednym ze środków dostosowujących prawo i politykę konkurencji do realiów nowoczesnej gospodarki. Nowe narzędzie miałoby umożliwić Komisji prowadzenie badań rynkowych w zakresie problemów strukturalnych związanych z konkurencją, z możliwością narzucenia przedsiębiorcom środków zaradczych. W artykule przedstawiono uwagi dotyczące podstawy prawnej inicjatywy, wyboru odpowiedniego wariantu oraz kwestii związanych z zasadą proporcjonalności i środków zaradczych. Postulowane jest wypracowanie rozwiązania, które eliminowałoby luki w egzekwowaniu przepisów przy jednoczesnym zachowaniu jasnych ram prawnych i zapewnieniu skutecznej kontroli sądowej.
The article analyses the European Commission's initiative to introduce a new, complementary tool to EU competition law. The initiative is one of the measures aimed at making sure that competition policy and rules are fit for the modern economy. The new tool would enable the Commission to conduct market investigations on structural problems, with the possibility of imposing remedies. The article presents some comments on the legal basis of the initiative, selection of the appropriate option, and issues related to the principle of proportionality and remedies. It is postulated to find a solution that would eliminate the gaps in enforcement while maintaining a clear legal framework and ensuring effective judicial control.

Opis:
This article discusses the harmonisation of laws within the EU focusing on the specific ways of achieving an approximation of the Polish legal system with European competition law. It identifies and gives an overview of three specific ways of harmonising national laws with EU antitrust provisions: (1) spontaneous (or bottom-up) harmonisation; (2) judicial harmonisation and; (3) legislative harmonisation by means of EU Directives. With respect to the last category, particular attention is drawn to the legislative competences of the EU, allowing it to harmonise antitrust issues either on the basis of Articles 103 and 114 TFUE, or perhaps even on the basis of Article 82 TFEU
Le présent article explique la notion d'harmonisation du droit dans l'UE et se concentre sur les moyens particuliers de réalisation du rapprochement du droit polonais au droit de la concurrence de l'UE. Il identifie et offre un aperçu des trois façons de l'harmonisation du droit national avec le droit antitrust de l'UE: (1) l'harmonisation spontanée (ou bottom-up); (2) l’harmonisation juridique et (3) l'harmonisation législative par voie de directives. Dans ce dernier cas, une attention particulière est accordée aux compétences législatives de l'UE, ce qui lui permet d'harmoniser les questions du droit de la concurrence de l'UE, soit sur la base des articles 103 et 114 du TFUE, soit même, peut-être, sur la base de l'article 82 TFUE.

Opis:
Private enforcement in Lithuania is still at the early development stage, as only a few infringement decisions of the national competition authority – the Competition Council of the Republic of Lithuania – have been followed on by private antitrust claims. Nevertheless, it might be observed that victims of competition law infringements tend to initiate standalone claims for compensation of damages in Lithuania. However, not all of those cases are successful. On 3 March 2017, the Court of Appeal of Lithuania rejected a damages claim for EUR 2.9 million brought by a company that claimed to have been refused infrastructure access (an essential facility) by the dominant state-owned telecommunication company; infrastructure access was necessary for the provision of its own services. The case is interesting and worth mentioning due to the complexity and interrelation of competition law and the regulation of electronic communications (such as the interrelation of dominance in competition law and significant market power under the regulatory framework). The case is also noteworthy becaouse of the lack of involvement by the Competition Council and the Communication Regulatory Authority as well as their position in the dispute. Of relevance is also a change made to the laws related to the dispute and further consequences of the dispute.

This paper focuses on the procedural instrument of ‘competition-expert’ lay judges to ease damages calculations and private actions for damages for the violation of competition law in general. To this end, the paper analyses various forms of ‘expert’ lay participation that already exist in Europe. It concentrates, in particular, on commercial and intellectual property proceedings, but also delves into the few existing examples of competition-expert lay judges for private enforcement of competition law. It assesses their transferability for competition damages proceedings and attempts to test EU and national competition as well as procedural law boundaries more generally. The paper considers common grounds, advantages and disadvantages, as well as best practices in this context. It concludes with early proposals for including competition-expert lay judges in private enforcement of competition law.
Cet article se concentre sur l’instrument procédural que sont les juges non professionnels experts en concurrence pour faciliter le calcul des dommages et intérêts dans les actions privées en dommages et intérêts pour la violation du droit de la concurrence. À cette fin, l’article analyse diverses formes de participation d’experts non professionnels déjà existantes en Europe. Il se concentre en particulier sur les procédures commerciales et de propriété intellectuelle, mais se penche également sur les quelques exemples existants de juges non professionnels experts en concurrence pour l’application privée du droit de la concurrence. Il évalue leur transférabilité aux procédures de dommages-intérêts en matière de concurrence et tente de tester plus généralement les limites du droit de la concurrence et du droit procédural au niveau européen et national. L’article met en évidence les motifs communs, les avantages et les désavantages, ainsi que les meilleures pratiques. Il se conclut par des premières propositions visant à inclure des juges non professionnels experts en concurrence dans l’application privée du droit de la concurrence.

Opis:
Competition authorities in countries in development in Europe have a long way to go until they meet the EU standards. Although the local legislation in non-EU members is harmonized with EU legislation for the most part, the enforcement part is the one where obstacles are traditionally more challenging, and Serbia is no exception to this rule. Serbia has had its share of problems when trying to enforce rules on protection of competition, and some of those battles are still being fought, however, the national competition authority now also needs to face rapid changes that come with emerging markets, especially e-commerce. Although e-commerce itself may facilitate anti-competitive behaviors, it seems that they may also have had an effect of a much-needed nudge for the Serbian Commission for the Protection of Competition (CPC) to finally dive into variety of enforcement powers that they have been entrusted with.
Les autorités de la concurrence des pays européens en développement ont encore un long chemin à parcourir avant d’atteindre les normes européennes. Bien que la législation nationale des pays qui ne sont pas membres de l’UE soit en grande partie harmonisée avec la législation européenne, c’est au niveau de l’application que les obstacles sont traditionnellement les plus difficiles à surmonter. La Serbie ne fait pas exception à cette règle. La Serbie a connu sa part de problèmes lorsqu’elle a tenté de faire respecter les règles de protection de la concurrence. Alors que certaines de ces batailles sont encore en cours, l’autorité serbe de la concurrence doit désormais également faire face aux changements rapides qui accompagnent les marchés émergents, en particulier le commerce électronique. Bien que le commerce électronique en lui-même puisse faciliter les comportements anticoncurrentiels, il semble qu’il ait également eu l’effet d’un coup de pouce dont la Commission serbe pour la protection de la concurrence (CPC) avait bien besoin pour enfin se plonger dans les divers pouvoirs d’exécution qui lui ont été confiés.

Naruszenie prawa konkurencji jako podstawa wykluczenia z udziału w postępowaniu o udzielenie zamówienia publicznego w prawie i orzecznictwie unijnym

Opis:
Związki pomiędzy prawem konkurencji a prawem zamówień publicznych są wielopłaszczyznowe. Jednym z problemów na styku powyższych regulacji jest kwestia wpływu naruszenia prawa konkurencji na udział w przetargach publicznych. W toku rozwoju prawa i orzecznictwa UE dotyczącego zamówień publicznych widać wyraźną tendencję do coraz szerszego przyjmowania możliwości wykluczenia naruszycieli prawa antymonopolowego z postępowań o udzielenie zamówienia publicznego. W niektórych sytuacjach sankcja wykluczenia z możliwości ubiegania się o zamówienie publiczne może być o wiele poważniejsza niż ewentualne kary administracyjne nakładane przez Prezesa UOKiK czy KE. Kwestia wykluczenia naruszycieli prawa konkurencji rodzi wiele pytań dotyczących m.in. zakresu naruszeń, które mogą być podstawą do wykluczenia, a także tego, kto i na jakim etapie powinien decydować o wykluczeniu itp. Wskazana problematyka jest niezwykle istotna, 18 kwietnia 2016 r. upływa bowiem termin implementacji nowej Dyrektywy 2014/24/UE regulującej prawo zamówień publicznych. W związku z tym ważne jest zrozumienie prawa i orzecznictwa unijnego we wskazanej materii, co też będzie przedmiotem artykułu.
Relations between competition law and public procurement are multi-dimensional – competition law infringements acting as a basis for exclusion from public procurement are one of the key issues here. A tendency is visible alongside legislative and jurisprudential developments in EU law concerning public procurement, to broaden the scope for the exclusion of antitrust infringers from public procurement. In some case, exclusion from public procurement may prove a more severe penalty for economic operators than administrative fines levied by the President of UOKiK or the European Commission. However, such exclusion raises many questions including: what is the scope of the substantial infringements which might lead to exclusion or who and when is able to decide on the matter. Keeping in mind that Directive 2014/24 regarding public procurement must be implemented by 18 April 2016, it is fair to say that this is a very important issue at the moment. Hence, it is essential to fully understand EU directives and jurisprudence regarding that matter as presented in the paper.

Opis:
The article deals with the question whether the market needs to be regulated and if competition law is a desirable regulatory instrument for developing countries such as Georgia. This issue is not merely theoretical in nature, but reflects Georgia’s actual developments throughout the last decade when the country first repelled its existing antimonopoly law, since it was seen as unnecessary and hindering economic development, and yet later reintroduced it once again. For years Georgia was not regulating its market and, as the newly set up Competition Agency is starting to take its first steps, the question of the rationality for pro-competitive state intervention raises again. The chosen jurisdiction is unique for its unusual development path and history. It is even more special because of this particular point in time, witnessing the birth-phase of yet another competition law jurisdiction and the launching of its competition law enforcement authority. The article is dedicated to questions which are widely disputed in society, among politicians, in the media, within the local NGO sector etc. However, the academic community has not yet written much about them. This paper aims to fill this gap and encourage further academic discussion on this topic. Due to the limited number of academic sources and case-law in this field, a variety of sources has been used in this paper including: dissertations, reports of international organizations and local NGOs, personal interviews, blogs and so forth. The article is divided into sections. It starts by reviewing the evolution of competition law in Georgia and demonstrates its illogical development pattern. It moves on to outline the background and motivations present in Georgia at moments when breakthrough decisions were taken regarding its competition law regime. The article describes and analyses processes that took place on the un-regulated Georgian market in the last ten years. Based on the findings, it researches the question of the desirability of competition law, that is, whether Georgian market needs such state intervention, and what are the main challenges facing the effective enforcement of its recently adopted competition law.

Opis:
In this article the author analyses the most important issues arising from the interaction between intellectual property law, competition law and the damages law. For almost ten years, the European Commission has been monitoring the various market practices used by participants in this market, which may result in infringement of competition law. In particular, there are some doubts about reverse payment patent settlements aimed at delaying the introduction of generic medicines to the market, as well as other practices intended to disrupt the normal operation of the pharmaceutical market. The analysis of different practices in the pharmaceutical sector (in addition to the aforementioned settlements, they may involve various patent strategies, such as the creation of patent thickets) may bring us to the conclusion that such behaviour can be seen as a form of abuse of patent rights, but also the abuse of a dominant position (or other forms of restraints to competition), simultaneously raising questions about the consequences in the field of law of damages. As such market practices show, they can also influence the position of consumers and others interested in lowering the price of generic drugs (as substitutes for original drugs that can be marketed after the original drug’s patent protection expires) but also affect the health policy of the state. Except the consumer, who is the “last link” of the generic supply chain, the economic interest of the public or private co-financiers of patients’ access to medicines should also be taken into account. In Poland, commercialization of generic drugs undoubtedly remains in the interest of the National Health Fund and the state budget. The author discusses different legal instruments which aim to delay introduction of generic drugs to the market and indicates their legal consequences.
Celem niniejszego opracowania jest przybliżenie najistotniejszych zagadnień powstających na styku prawa własności intelektualnej, prawa konkurencji i prawa odszkodowawczego. Od niemal dziesięciu lat Komisja Europejska monitoruje rozmaite praktyki rynkowe stosowane przez uczestników tego rynku, których skutkiem może być naruszenie prawa konkurencji. W szczególności pewne wątpliwości budzą ugody patentowe o odwróconej płatności, których celem jest opóźnienie wprowadzenia na rynek leków generycznych, a także inne praktyki, prowadzące do zakłócenia normalnego funkcjonowania rynku farmaceutycznego. Analizowane w artykule zachowania (oprócz wspomnianych ugód może chodzić o rozmaite strategie patentowe, jak tworzenie gąszczy patentów) mogą być jedną z form nadużywania patentu, ale i pozycji dominującej, rodząc jednocześnie pytania o konsekwencje natury odszkodowawczej. Jak się bowiem okazuje tego typu praktyki rynkowe mogą także wpływać na pozycję konsumentów oraz innych podmiotów, zainteresowanych niższą ceną leku generycznego (substytutu leku oryginalnego, który może być wprowadzony do obrotu po upływie ochrony patentowej leku oryginalnego), ale także wpływać na politykę zdrowotną państwa. Oprócz konsumenta, stanowiącego „ostatnie ogniwo” łańcucha nabywców generyków, na względzie należy mieć także interes ekonomiczny podmiotu publicznego czy prywatnego współfinansującego dostęp do leków przez pacjentów. W Polsce wprowadzenie na rynek generyków niewątpliwie pozostaje w interesie Narodowego Funduszu Zdrowia i budżetu państwa, jako podmiotów istotnych z punktu widzenia refundacji. Autorka analizuje różne instrumenty prawne mające na celu opóźnienie wprowadzenia na rynek leków generycznych, wskazując na ich konsekwencje prawne.

Opis:
The corporate human rights development was fueled by the increasing amount of fines imposed on both European and national level. For many years, the jurisprudence of the ECtHR has classified administrative, including competition law enforcement as a quasi-criminal process during which human rights shall be respected to a certain extent. This paper strives to explain the evolution of competition law enforcement in Hungary, with procedural safeguards protecting undertakings having come close to the level of protection provided under criminal law. Of the numerous human rights relevant in competition law enforcement the paper will focus on institutional check-and-balances, and the appropriate level of judicial review. The thoroughness of the judicial review of administrative decisions resulting in fines is critical to the analysis of whether the traditional continental European structure of administrative law enforcement is in conformity with the principles of the ECHR. The narrow interpretation of the prohibition of judicial re-evaluation and judicial deference to competition authorities exhibiting significant expert knowledge is of central importance in this debate.
Le développement des droits de l’homme liés aux entreprises a été alimenté par le nombre croissant d’amendes imposées aux niveaux européen et national. Pendant de nombreuses années, la jurisprudence de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme a classé le processus administratif, y compris l’application du droit de la concurrence, parmi les procédures quasi pénales au cours desquelles les droits de l’homme doivent être respectés dans une certaine mesure. Cet article vise à expliquer l’évolution de l’application des lois de la concurrence en Hongrie, considérant que les garanties procédurales protégeant les entreprises se rapprochent du niveau de protection prévu par le droit pénal. Parmi les nombreux droits de l’homme pertinents dans le domaine de l’application du droit de la concurrence, le document se concentrera sur les aspects institutionnels et sur le niveau approprié de contrôle juridictionnel. La minutie du contrôle juridictionnel des décisions administratives entraînant des amendes est essentielle pour analyser la conformité de la structure traditionnelle de l’application de la loi administrative de l’Europe continentale aux principes de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme. L’interprétation restrictive de l’interdiction de la réévaluation judiciaire et de la retenue judiciaire à l’égard des autorités de la concurrence faisant preuve de connaissances approfondies revêt une grande importance dans ce débat

Opis:
The paper tries to establish some limits of the framework for prioritization policy in order to show that the NCAs are still bound by certain principles for setting their prioritization policies and are not completely independent or autonomous. In this context, priority setting by the Slovak NCA, surveillance of this process and evaluation of its credibility is analysed. The power to prioritize cases became a part of the ‘independence toolkit’ of the ECN+ Directive and is linked to effective use of limited resources. Despite including prioritization into the elements of independence of NCAs, the ECN+ Directive gives no further requirements for the prioritisation of the performance of enforcement powers of NCAs. Decisions regarding prioritization of enforcement can allow a NCA to focus on the most serious infringements of competition law. On the other hand, they can be challenged due to lack of transparency, arbitrariness, disproportionality and because of unequal treatment. Hence the prioritization policy, as well as individual decisions, shall be embedded into the framework safeguarding proper enforcement and due process of law. The legal framework of the European Commission for the system of rejection of cases as well as limited judicial review can serve as an inspiration for NCAs. Although NCAs are not restricted in the selection of their priorities, some competition infringements shall be inevitably included in their priorities, such as cartels and bid rigging. The case of Slovakia and its NCA shows a relatively low level of accountability of the Antimonopoly Office of the Slovak Republic (AMO) to the parliament, and judicial as well as parliamentary control of the prioritization and case selection of the AMO is limited.The paper concludes that within the reform of the Slovak NCA, it will be insufficient to only grant the AMO guarantees of independence, including independence of priority setting, and that mechanisms of accountability and review shall be evolved.
L’article cherche à définir certaines limites du cadre de la politique de priorisation afin de montrer que les ANC sont liées par certains principes pour établir leurs politiques de priorisation et ne sont pas complètement indépendantes ou autonomes. Dans ce contexte, la définition des priorités par l’ANC slovaque, la surveillance de ce processus et l’évaluation de sa crédibilité sont analysées. Le pouvoir de hiérarchiser les affaires fait partie de la stratégie d’indépendance fixée par la directive ECN+ et est lié à l’utilisation efficace de ressources. Bien que la hiérarchisation fasse partie des éléments de l’indépendance des ANC, la directive ECN+ ne prévoit pas d’autres conditions pour la politique de prioritarisation des ANC. Les décisions concernant la hiérarchisation des mesures d’application peuvent permettre à une ANC de se concentrer sur les infractions les plus graves au droit de la concurrence. D’autre part, elles peuvent être critiquées en raison de leur manque de transparence, de leur caractère arbitraire, de leur disproportionnalité et de l’inégalité de traitement. Par conséquent, la politique de hiérarchisation des priorités doit être intégrée dans le cadre garantissant une application correcte et une procédure régulière de la loi. Le cadre juridique de la Commission européenne concernant le rejet des affaires ainsi que le contrôle judiciaire limité peut inspirer les ANC. Bien que les ANC ne soient pas limitées dans le choix de leurs priorités, certaines infractions à la concurrence doivent inévitablement être incluses dans leurs priorités, comme les ententes et les truquages d’offres. Le cas de la Slovaquie montre un niveau relativement faible de responsabilité de l’Office antimonopole de la République slovaque devant le Parlement, et le contrôle judiciaire et parlementaire de la définition des priorités et de la selection des affaires de l’Office est limité. L’article conclut que dans le cadre de la réforme de l’ANC slovaque, il ne suffira pas de garantir l’indépendance de l’AMO, y comprise la fixation des priorités, mais qu’il faudra faire progresser les mécanismes de responsabilité et de contrôle.
