https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2005-12-122-132

Abstract

The article focuses on the analysis of antimonopoly policy in gas markets as an important element of competition development in this industry. The author considers several problems for competition development in gas markets, such as discrimination in third parties’ access to essential facilities, underdeveloped trade including due to legislative restrictions, concerted actions by market participants and state authorities, which lead to competition restriction in gas supply. Antitrust remedies are analysed.
