Abstract

The competition law rules are of immense importance for optimal functioning of the economic variables as they not only vouchsafe against the monopolistic and exploitative tendencies of the bigger market players, they are also instrumental in providing the smaller and newer entrants in the markets to work towards achieving self-sustaining levels. However, their operation is contingent upon position sought to be obtained in the markets for which these rules are designed. While these rules may vary depending upon jurisdiction, nonetheless the essential premise remains the same. In this backdrop this article examines the regulatory structure in vogue under the EC competition law and to identify the key traits which may as well be applicable for the recently formulated Competition Commission of India, in its quest towards rendering competition workable in the Indian markets.
