Topical Issues of the Russian State Antimonopoly Policy (Proposals for the Draft National Plan for the Development of Competition for 2021-2025)

The article is devoted to the development of Antimonopoly policy for the future 2021-2025, which ensures the fundamental rights and freedoms of consumers and entrepreneurs, and supports existing and new forms of economic activity in the context of profound changes in the economy. It is about how the new situation in the markets and in life is beginning to test the foundations of understanding economic and human relations. The author formulates the values of economic development in the new conditions. It is said that the role of consumers in the conditions of clip thinking is decreasing, and they need to be activated in the digital economy. The author assesses the emergence and development of new «human — machine» and «machine - machine» relationships, the ongoing convergence processes, the formation of multilateral, interconnected and global markets, and the correlation of the real and virtual world.
Approaches to intellectual Antimonopoly regulation that stimulate innovative development are proposed. Recommendations are given for improving the Antimonopoly policy, taking into account the problems and challenges caused by the coronavirus and similar threats. Approaches to legal regulation of the activities of operators (aggregators) of digital platforms are proposed. Recommendations are given on the procedure for applying Antimonopoly legislation to actions and agreements on the exercise of exclusive rights to the results of intellectual activity. The article substantiates the need to switch to Pro-competitive, flexible, long-term tariff regulation and resuscitate structural reforms based on competitive mechanisms. Changes in international cooperation in the field of Antimonopoly policy are discussed. It is said about creating equal conditions for the activities of Russian and foreign participants in the e-Commerce markets. It is shown how, based on the creation of an exchange ecosystem, it is possible to form one of the world's financial centers in the country. Proposals are made to decriminalize the regulation and control of economic relations in General, as well as issues of Antimonopoly and tariff policy, and state procurements. We propose conceptual changes in the public procurement system with the transition from control of procedures to control the achievement of results using objective quotations of the prices of goods (works, services).
