Maximum one-time fine can be as much as 10% of "the total turnover of the preceding business year of each of the undertakings participating in the infringement" of the Act. Periodic penalties can also be imposed, "... periodic penalty payments not exceeding 5% of the average daily turnover in the preceding business year which is calculated from the date the decision has been taken ..." |
| Algeria | Y | N | The Commission has recommended a fine of 350,000 FF upon a firm abusing its dominant position.[1] (Original text of the statute could not be found.) |
| Argentina | Y | N | Article 46(b) imposes fines.
Fines range from $15,000 to $150,000,000 pesos. |

Abuse of a dominant position leads to a fine of up to 5000 times the baseline duty. Mergers resulting in abuses of dominant positions lead to fines of up to 4000 times the baseline duty. Failure to submit materials to the competition commission leads to fines up to 100 times the baseline duty. |
