Namibia 2003 - Imprisonment

Do we think this counts as imprisonment? Too far removed from the anti-competitive behavior?

Article 62 calls for imprisonment if a person fails to comply with an order of a court acting under the statute.

Namibia 2003 - RTP - Eliminating Competition

Nigeria 1999 - Misc

Nigeria only has a single statute that deals with mergers specifically and not competition law, generally. Should we include this nation in our dataset?

UK 1998 - Merger notification post-merger

If we mark a country as having a voluntary merger regime, do they automatically get a 1 for post-merger?

Ukraine 2001 - Merger assessment efficiency defense

I think this counts.

2. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine may authorise concentration which was not permitted by the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine because the concentration did not correspond with the conditions provided for by Part 1 of the present Article if a positive effect produced by the concentration on the public interests outweighs negative consequences of the restriction of competition.
