RTP - Efficiency Defense.
I think the following counts as an efficiency defense to RTP.
6(3) - "3. In exceptional cases, agreements (coordinated actions) between economic entities as stipulated by the present Article, excluding those listed in clause 1 of the present Article, may be considered legally valid by anti-monopoly body in compliance with the procedure sets up by the President of the Republic of Belarus, or by any other state body or court authorized by the President, provided the economic entities prove that economic effect of their actions, including social and economic sectors, will exceed negative consequences for the given commodity market or the Republic of Belarus as a whole, and competition must only be restricted to the extent wherein the above restrictions are inevitable for the achievement of the given economic effect, or directly stipulated by legislative acts adopted (issued) in according with the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus."

I agree, looks like an efficiency defense.
