Austria 2000 Divestures

I think this should be coded as a divesture:

§35(2) - "The Cartel Court . . . [shall] in addition also order [the group] to take measures by which the market-dominating position will be weakened or eliminated, if: (a) the undertaking has repeatedly abused its market-dominating position; (b) the abuses may impair media diversity; and (c) it is expected that, without such measures, further abuses of this type will occur."

Albania 2003 Pre-Merger Notification

This sounds like a pre-merger notification requirement:

Albania 2003 Public Interest Pro-D

Does this sound like a public interest (or efficiency) defense to you?

2. Commission may not prohibit concentrations where one of the undertakings risks seriously a failure, there is no less anti­competitive alternative to the concentration, when:

a) this undertaking is in such a situation that without the concentration it would exit the market in the near future;

b) there is no serious prospects of re­organizing the activity of this undertaking.

Armenia 2000 Extraterritoriality

Armenia 2000 Output Restraint and Big-Rigging

Argentina 1999 Divestures

This is translated from Spanish, but it sounds to me like it allows for divestures.

Article 46(c) "Without damage of other sanctions that will be able to correspond, when acts are verified that constitute abuse of dominant position or when it is stated that it has acquired itself or consolidated a monopolistic or oligopolical position in violation of the dispositions of this law, the Court will be able to impose the fulfillment of conditions that aim to neutralize the distorsivos aspects on the competition or to ask for the competent judge who the infractoras companies are dissolved, eliminated, dispersed or divided;"

Argentina 1999 3rd Party Initiation

Again, translated from Spanish. This seems to allow 3rd Party Initiation:

Argentina 1999 Remedies Available to 3rd Parties

Sounds like it allows damages for 3rd parties:

"The physical people or legal victims by the acts prohibited by this law, will be able to exert the action for damages of damages and damages as the norms of the common right, before the competent judge in that matter."
