Mauritius 2003 Predatory Pricing

Predatory pricing prohibition?

Article 11(2)(a) - "[It is prohibited to directly or indirectly imposes unfair purchase or selling prices or other unfair trading conditions such as below-cost pricing;"

--AchalOza 08:48, 13 July 2007 (EDT)

Hylton: this is a prohibition on unfair pricing and on predatory pricing. For predatory pricing, it is sufficient for a statute to prohibit a dominant firm from below-cost pricing. --AchalOza 11:02, 13 July 2007 (EDT)

Mauritius 2003 Output Restraint

Is a prohibition against limited production the same thing as output restraint?

Article 11(2)(b) - "[It is prohibited to] limit[] supply, production, markets or technical development to the prejudice of consumers;"

--AchalOza 08:50, 13 July 2007 (EDT)

Hylton: this is for a dominant position, so this would only be limits access. If this was a restrictive trade practice, then it would be coded as output restraint.

Mongolia 1994 Merger Assessment - Dominance

This is the only text in the statute that is close to merger assessment. Do you think this would code as Merger Assessment Dominance?

Article 7(1) - "A dominant economic entity is prohibited to buy capital stock or shares of the competitors, to take over their rights and duties, or to crate [sic] jointly a new entity by joining the competitors' stock with purpose to carry out its monopolistic activities in the market."

Russia 2002 Prison Sentences

The statute provides for imprisonment. However, according to a secondary source, criminal sanctions have never actually been applied. Should it still be coded as a one?
