== Armenia 2000 Extraterritoriality ==

Sounds to me like the scope extends to foreign companies that have an effect on Armenia:

Article 2. The Subject Governed by the Law

1. The present Law shall apply to those activities and conduct of economic entities, government
and local government administration bodies, which might result in the restriction, prevention
and distortion of competition or in acts of unfair competition, except where otherwise stipulated
by law.

I'd ask Hylton. It doesn't restrict application to the state, nor does it explicitly extend it to foreign firms. With this kind of language, my guess is that extraterritoriality applies.

Discussed with Hylton. He said where it does not explicitly allow extraterritoriality, we should not infer it.

== Armenia 2000 Output Restraint and Big-Rigging ==

Would this include output restraint and big-rigging?

Article 5. Anti-competitive Agreements and Prohibition of Anti-competitive Agreements

1. In the context of the present Law, anti-competitive agreements are contracts and agreements
concluded between economic entities or their concerted practices (hereinafter referred to as
“agreements”), which might result in the restriction, prevention, prohibition of competition. These are the . . . (b) '''artificial increase, decrease or maintenance of prices''' on the commodity markets;

My call: Output restraint, Yes. Big-rigging, No.

Discussed with Hylton. He said the statute cited only applies to price fixing and not output restraint and bid-rigging. For those two, we should stick to locating specific language. However, the statute does include language indicated an efficiency defense (Art. 5(2)) and prohibits market sharing (Art. 5(1)(c)).
