Politicizing EU Competition Policy

Unlike in the case of the EU competition provisions, NAFTA members have not committed themselves explicitly to developing any form of supranational competition law.

All of these three regional arrangements have a supranational character, as in the case of the EU (which provides for common regional competition rules to be enforced by both the EU Commission and national competition authorities).

According to the analysts of the EU competition law rules, showing during the auction overall ranking instead of prices is preferable from competition law prospective.

Both the EU and Russia have advantages to offer, so competition between them could be fierce.

All these regional agreements on competition appear to be modelled on the EU approach, which accommodates the competition policies of member States and under which competition law represents a principal tool of economic integration.

Similarly, EU competition policy has stood firm for many years against monopolies and abuse of dominant market positions.

The EU, which has looked increasingly to the US model for competition law, began proceedings against Microsoft in 1993.

While NATO and the EU have improved their working relations, more steps need to be taken to eliminate mistrust, unhealthy competition, and information sharing blockages.

Competition?

The competition and prospect of belonging to a group of frontrunners would be an added incentive for Balkan leaders to engage with the EU accession process.

Similarly, the EU Mexico Decision simply provides that the parties shall apply their respective competition laws, without specifying what should be the content of these laws.

Other specific technical cooperation activities deserving special mention related to trade and the environment, trade and competition, commodity issues, WTO accession, ACP EU negotiations, and GSTP.

It encourages competition, but competition with respect for others.

Same for competition. Competition is not on the canvass.

Europeans should subject Russian investments in EU markets to greater scrutiny and use competition law to launch investigations into monopolistic practices and money laundering for existing investments.

Extensive lobbying, directly and by proxy, is underway to persuade European regulators to allow long term supply contracts in the EU despite their deadening effect on competition.

However, it differs from these agreements in using standards that differ from those in EU competition rules (and resemble those in the South African competition law) to characterize such RBPs and in specifically making a link to the territory of the parties.

Competition advocacy

One, competition.

The potential of ERAs to exert a positive effect on competition, in particular by dismantling the preferential purchasing patterns in some States members of the European Union (EU), has been recognized in the recently enacted EU directives in the field of public procurement.

Closer regulatory cooperation may also help the US and the EU to confront what business leaders view as increasingly unfair competition from China both at home and abroad.

Neelie Kroes, the retiring EU Competition Commissioner, was surely right to demand some divestiture of branches from the biggest groups, though arguably she did not go far enough.

From the current Russian regime s perspective, declarations that EU and NATO expansion is about spreading values, accountable institutions, and good governance, not military or economic competition, is beyond hypocritical.

Regarding Cooperation Between Their Competition Authorities In the Enforcement of Their Competition Laws

Russia s relations with the EU are governed by an agreement signed in June 1994 concerning trade, business and investment, competition issues, protection of intellectual, industrial, and business property, and financial cooperation.

Unfortunately, despite the efforts of NATO and the EU, Europe s defense sector remains fragmented, which leads to duplication, unhelpful competition from too many rival systems, and, significant capability gaps or incompatibilities.

The EU South Africa agreement appears to apply a combined trade and competition test, requiring RBPs to be controlled insofar as they affect trade between the parties, but referring for this purpose to practices affecting competition within the parties' respective territories which appears to amount to positive comity.
