On the fourth day of the explanatory screening for Cluster 2 - Internal Market, the presentations of the European Commission regarding Chapter 8 - Competition Policy continued today in Brussels.
The competition policy of the European Union aims to create an internal market, where economic operators compete freely. Legislation in this area includes the following: competition, state aid control policies.
This chapter covers rules and procedures for combating anti-competitive behaviour by commercial companies, avoiding monopolies on the market, considering mergers between companies and economic entities as well as preventing governments from favouring companies from their countries harming fair and honest competition on the internal market of the European Union.
North Macedonia respects the obligations of Chapter 4 of the Stabilization and Association Agreement by harmonizing and transposing into our legislation all the basic rules of the Competition Policy of the European Union.
The Commission for the Protection of Competition is an independent body that actively works on the implementation of legislation in this area and in many cases acts creating an impressive portfolio of undertaken activities.
The European Commission presented the new package of regulations and directives regarding the merger of companies, anti-monopoly as well as state aid, which our country will have to adopt and implement during the negotiation process with the European Union.
