Economic Dependence as the Basis for Anticompetitive Coordination of Economic Activities

EDN: DFTQIL

Abstract

   The article analyzes the relationship between the coordinator of economic activities as a subject of an anticompetitive offense, liability for which is established by the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses and the Federal Law "On Protection of Competition", and the business entities it coordinates. The specific characteristics of these relationships are identified, and a distinction is drawn between the power of the coordinator and the market power of the business entity holding a dominant position. The author concludes that economic dependence is the main and mandatory element
in the coordination of economic activities of business entities.
