ANALYSIS OF THE COMPETITION ON THE COMMODITIES MARKET: THE FAS MODERN APPROAC
EDN: IAOPYD
Abstract
Commodities market situation analysis is the base for the decision making process in the anti-monopoly legal regulation development. The FAS issued Order No. 108 On the Commodities Market Situation Evaluation and Analysis Procedure on 25 April 2006. The Order came into effect in August 2006. There are some totally new points in the new Order. The main of them is the following. The so-called hypothetic monopolist identification test is introduced into the Russian practical law execution sphere. Among other innovations it is necessary to draw attention to the introduction of the market boundaries identification system; a new version of the subordinated businesses supervision system; and a new regional commodities market identification system.
