Download or read book Competition Law in the Slovak Republic written by Andrea Oršulová and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2023-03-20 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of competition law and its interpretation in Slovak Republic covers every aspect of the subject – the various forms of restrictive agreements and abuse of dominance prohibited by law and the rules on merger control; tests of illegality; filing obligations; administrative investigation and enforcement procedures; civil remedies and criminal penalties; and raising challenges to administrative decisions. Lawyers who handle transnational commercial transactions will appreciate the explanation of fundamental differences in procedure from one legal system to another, as well as the international aspects of competition law. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes enforcement, with relevant cases analysed where appropriate. An informative introductory chapter provides detailed information on the economic, legal, and historical background, including national and international sources, scope of application, an overview of substantive provisions and main notions, and a comprehensive description of the enforcement system including private enforcement. The book proceeds to a detailed analysis of substantive prohibitions, including cartels and other horizontal agreements, vertical restraints, the various types of abusive conduct by the dominant firms and the appraisal of concentrations, and then goes on to the administrative enforcement of competition law, with a focus on the antitrust authorities’ powers of investigation and the right of defence of suspected companies. This part also covers voluntary merger notifications and clearance decisions, as well as a description of the judicial review of administrative decisions. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for business and legal professionals alike. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Slovak Republic will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of international and comparative competition law.

Book Synopsis Recent Developments in Slovak Competition Law - Legislation and Case Law Review by : Katarina Fodorova
Download or read book Recent Developments in Slovak Competition Law - Legislation and Case Law Review written by Katarina Fodorova and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slovak competition law is set by the Act No. 136/2001 Coll. on the Protection of Competition, as amended (hereafter, Competition Act). Covered therein is the prohibition of competition restricting agreements and the prohibition of the abuse of dominance as well as concentration control. The wording of the prohibitions is identical to Articles 101 and 102 TFEU. Control of concentrations is largely modelled after the EU system also including the substantive test, Significant Impediment of Effective Competition, which is used in Slovakia since 2012 with some procedural divergences. Enforcement is administrative in nature and only undertakings are subject to investigations and fines. The relevant enforcement body is the Antimonopoly Office of the Slovak Republic.
Book Synopsis Ten Years in the European Union - Selected Remarks Related To the Harmonisation of Slovak Competition Law with EU Competition Law by : Barbora Králičková
Download or read book Ten Years in the European Union - Selected Remarks Related To the Harmonisation of Slovak Competition Law with EU Competition Law written by Barbora Králičková and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Lawyers who handle transnational business will appreciate the explanation of local variations in terminology and the distinctive concepts that determine practice and procedure.

Discussion of economic law covers the laws governing establishment, supervision of economic activities, competition law, and government taxation incentives. These details are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. Thorough yet practical, this convenient volume is a valuable tool for business executives and their legal counsel with international interests. Lawyers representing parties with interests in the Slovak Republic will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative commercial and economic law.
Book Synopsis Enhanced Digitalisation and Competition Law Enforcement in Slovakia by : Maria T. Patakyova
Download or read book Enhanced Digitalisation and Competition Law Enforcement in Slovakia written by Maria T. Patakyova and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digitalisation is a challenge from the regulatory point of view. Competition law, as a special type of regulation, is no exception to this. The article explores the risks of digitalisation, especially the ones related to the enhanced use of pricing algorithms. In theory, pricing algorithms are not easily assessed from the perspective of competition law, let alone its application in practice. The prohibition of anticompetitive agreements (pursuant to Article 101 of the Treaty on Functioning of the European Union (TFEU)) is applied with certain diffi culty to agreements created by using pricing algorithms. This is an unfortunate situation, as horizontal agreements represent one of the worst infringements of EU competition law, including price cartels or bid rigging. Apart from presenting a theoretical background, the article dives into the practice of the Antimonopoly Offi ce of the Slovak Republic (AMO) in order to assess which practical issues the AMO might face when applying the theoretical concepts. In sum, the article asks from a theoretical perspective which issues of competition law have been introduced (or deepened) by the enhanced digitalisation, looking in particular to pricing algorithms. On top of that, the article explores the issues which may be encountered in practice, taking the Slovak jurisdiction as the example. The willingness and feasibility of the AMO to enforce digital issues such as pricing algorithms is assessed based on the previous acts of the AMO as well as the new Act on Protection of Competition, adopted by the Slovak parliament on 11 May 2021.
Book Synopsis Behavioral Vs. Structural Remedies in European and Slovak Competition Law by : Katarina Kalesna
Download or read book Behavioral Vs. Structural Remedies in European and Slovak Competition Law written by Katarina Kalesna and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Market economy presupposes a proper functioning of competition. Identification of situations potentially harmful for competition is a task for competition authorities. However, how to handle the situation at stake is an issue in itself. Although there is regulation of remedies in EU competition law and a partial regulation in Slovak competition law, especially merger regulation, the question is in what manner, if at all, are remedies applied in practice. This paper deals with these questions in relation to merger as well as antitrust cases. It looks into theoretical background followed by an outline of the European Commission's cases. On top of that, the paper inquiries into the employment of remedies in broader sense in the practice of the Slovak Republic. After presentation of the Slovak regulation of remedies, three recent cases are addressed. The first one is represented by a merger case from the health services sector which was cleared only upon conditions. The situation which triggered the need for remedies is elaborated on, as well as the structural and partially behavioural remedies which were employed. The second one is represented by a case from car industry sector where behavioural obligations were imposed by a decision on commitments in order to solve possible vertical restrains. Although it is less usual to impose remedies in antitrust cases, the case shows how competition law's concerns on vertical market can be solved by obligations of behavioural type. The third one deals with a cartel case in which a behavioural remedy in form of prohibition of participation in tendering procedures was imposed. Therefore, the paper shows how obligations to act in certain manner or to undergo structural change can be employed in practice at Union and national level in order to solve competition law issues.

Book Synopsis Twenty Years of Harmonisation and Still Divergent by : Ondrej Blažo
Download or read book Twenty Years of Harmonisation and Still Divergent written by Ondrej Blažo and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Subjects of Legal Regulation - Different Approaches of Competition, Public Procurement and Corporate Law by : Katarina Kalesna
Download or read book Subjects of Legal Regulation - Different Approaches of Competition, Public Procurement and Corporate Law written by Katarina Kalesna and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To have a proper regulation is arguably an ultimate aim of every regulator. In order to achieve this goal, the regulator needs to define to whom the regulation shall be addressed. With the conception of legal persons, this definition is a tricky task to do. Due to the fact that legal persons have separate legal personality, the legal state of affairs and the business state of affairs do not need to correspond. This may cause issues from regulatory point of view. This paper discusses the subjects of three different types of regulation. Competition law of the European Union is, in general, focused on undertakings. The notion of undertakings is based mostly on economic approach and it can overcome purpose-built creation of de iure separate legal persons. Such approach may be very efficient and it is unfortunate that this understanding is not completely reflected within competition law of the Slovak Republic. Economic operators under public procurement law are understood differently from undertakings. We present the subjects of public procurement law of the Slovak Republic in the light of law of the European Union. Lastly, both concepts differ from legal persons and their employment in concerns under corporate law. The legal norms of the Slovak Republic are analysed in this regard. Thus, the paper asks to what extent are these concepts similar, whether their dissimilarities are rationalized and what possible negative consequences they may have in practice.

Book Synopsis Rules of Competition and East-West Integration by : Michael Fritsch
Download or read book Rules of Competition and East-West Integration written by Michael Fritsch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integration of the Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) into the European Union (EU) has become more a question of timing than a question whether it will or should be made. Since one of the objectives of the EU is to establish a system ensuring competition in the internal market is not distorted the question arises if the CEECs can be integrated into such a competitive system. Which rules of competition are appropriate to improve the economic integration of the CEECs and to promote at the same time the enduring transition process? The relationship between competition policy and East-West integration is the general theme of the contributions in this book. One central issue of this volume is the way of integrating the Central and East European countries into the EU and supporting their development by liberalizing trade with the EU. A second issue is the implementation of a market economy in the post-socialist countries of Eastern Europe and in particular the aspect of implementing competition rules at a time when markets are just emerging. The twelve selected papers are organized in three sections: -Competition Policy and Integration (part 1); -Competition Policy During Transition (part 2); -Competition, Trade Policy and East-West-Integration (part 3).
Book Synopsis Competition Law of the European Union by : Van Bael & Bellis
Download or read book Competition Law of the European Union written by Van Bael & Bellis and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 1618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new Sixth Edition of a major work by the well-known competition law team at Van Bael & Bellis in Brussels brings the book up to date to take account of the many developments in the case law and relevant legislation that have occurred since the Fifth Edition in 2010. The authors have also taken the opportunity to write a much-extended chapter on private enforcement and a dedicated section on competition law in the pharmaceutical sector. As one would expect, the new edition continues to meet the challenge for businesses and their counsel, providing a thoroughly practical guide to the application of the EU competition rules. The critical commentary cuts through the theoretical underpinnings of EU competition law to expose its actual impact on business. In this comprehensive new edition, the authors examine such notable developments as the following: important rulings concerning the concept of a restriction by object under Article 101; the extensive case law in the field of cartels, including in relation to cartel facilitation and price signalling; important Article 102 rulings concerning pricing and exclusivity, including the Post Danmark and Intel judgments, as well as standard essential patents; the current block exemption and guidelines applicable to vertical agreements, including those applicable to the motor vehicle sector; developments concerning online distribution, including the Pierre Fabre and Coty rulings; the current guidelines and block exemptions in the field of horizontal cooperation, including the treatment of information exchange; the evolution of EU merger control, including court defeats suffered by the Commission and the case law on procedural infringements; the burgeoning case law related to pharmaceuticals, including concerning reverse payment settlements; the current technology transfer guidelines and block exemption; procedural developments, including in relation to the right to privacy, access to file, parental liability, fining methodology, inability to pay and hybrid settlements; the implementation of the Damages Directive and the first interpretative rulings. As a comprehensive, up-to-date and above all practical analysis of the EU competition rules as developed by the Commission and EU Courts, this authoritative new edition of a classic work stands alone. Like its predecessors, it will be of immeasurable value to both business persons and their legal advisers.

Download or read book A Framework for the Design and Implementation of Competition Law and Policy written by R. S. Khemani and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1999 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dynamic and competitive environment, underpinned by competition law policy, is an essential characteristic of successful market economies. To satisfy the growing demand for information on current approaches and practices in competition law policy, the project "Framework for the Design and Implementation of Competition Law-Policy" was initiated by the World Bank, with participation by OECD. This ensuing volume reflects the main issues that arise in design and implementation of competition law and policy in order to assist countries in developing an approach that suits their own needs and conditions. The views articulated in this publication suggest that the administration and enforcement of competition law policy should assign the greatest importance to fostering economic efficiency and consumer welfare.
