Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few years, Latin American countries have taken giant steps to reposition their competition authorities in the global antitrust arena, granting them much greater autonomy both domestically and internationally. This is an updated edition of the first book that offered an in-depth analysis of this complex scenario. The first part of the book includes more general chapters written by leading experts on a variety of relevant topics analyzed at a regional level such as the issues emerging with the digital economy and on the special field of the information and communications technology industry, as well as chapters on broad regional trends, on the working of competition law in countries with regulated markets and in the cluster of Central American countries, among others. At the heart of the presentation are nine chapters detailing the competition regimes of the most active national jurisdictions in the region—Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. Written by practicing experts with considerable hands-on experience in their respective countries, each of these chapters provides a comprehensive description and explanation of the evolution, current state, and prospects for antitrust in the country. Topics addressed in the country analysis encompass the following and more: relevant institutions and legislation; cartel investigations; unilateral conduct policies; merger review; international coordination; enforcement; and remedies. Each chapter includes an analysis of relevant case law, allowing the reader to gauge the positions, views, and tendencies of each competition law regime. The contributors also pay attention to the specificities and idiosyncrasies that are so important for a correct understanding of the practical realities of competition policy and enforcement. With its wide-ranging and in-depth approach, this book provides an incomparable analysis of a challenging region poised to become increasingly important in the international recognition and enforcement of antitrust law. It is in this sense an essential guide for lawyers, economists, corporations, academics, and government officials interested in understanding where competition law is, and where it is going to, in Latin America.
Download or read book Achievements and Difficulties of Economic Competition Policy in Mexico written by Rafael del Villar and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Competition Law enacted in 1993 marks the beginning of the Federal Competition Commission (CFC) and of competition policy in Mexico. The purpose of this work is to show the achievements and challenges of this policy through examples that best illustrate it. One of the most important achievements of the CFC has been to prevent various concentrations that would have had significant anticompetitive effects. But the challenges of competition policy are not few. We will describe three we consider fundamental: 1) challenge related to privatizations and defective institutional frameworks in infrastructure sectors of the economy; 2) Difficulties that the CFC has faced to enforce its resolutions in the courts, and 3) the opposition of labor unions. When privatizing the railway sector in 1996 the government strived for competition but the interconnection and trackage rights regulation was insufficient. With the privatization of telecommunications at the end of 1990 the government created a private monopoly with a formidable economic and political power. On the other hand, in important cases the courts review of the resolutions of the CFC, which is an administrative tribunal, have been contrary to the CFC. We cite two cases, the Supreme Court decision in public brokers vs. notaries public, and the Supreme Court decision in a case of price predation. Another challenge relates to labor unions in monopolistic sectors as they have significant political influence and oppose the promotion of competition in their sectors. Some elements to strengthen competition policy are briefly considered.

This book was released on 2008-07-11 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As countries large and small, rich and poor are drawn inexorably into the global economy, protectionist policies are proving increasingly inefficient and ineffective for driving growth. The countries of Latin America, which have long pursued agendas of state ownership and heavy regulation of key industries, began to institute a series of reforms in the 1980s and 1990s, designed to promote competition and business creation. However, without the legal and institutional framework to support these policies (and thus guarantee resource-efficient behavior on the part of business owners), the record has been spotty at best. Competition Policies in Emerging Economies features in-depth analysis of two key industries—telecommunications and banking—in several Central American nations to shed light on the dynamics of the transition to deregulation and trade liberalization, and learn from the experiences of these economies. This book has a three-fold purpose: (1) to examine the competition conditions and policies of small developing countries of Central America (and hence cover an area where very little information exists); (2) develop an in-depth analysis of regulation and competition policies in two key industrial sectors with poor competition records (telecommunications and banking); (3) link the former results analysis with other international experiences, in order to derive research and policy recommendations that can be applied to other small, developing, and emerging economies. Featuring discussion of political, legal, economic, financial, cultural, and organization-level issues, the book provides unique perspectives on the forces resisting competitive practices and offers suggestions for overcoming them.

This book was released on 2017-04-15 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latin American countries, both individually and as a community, are poised to become increasingly important in the international recognition and enforcement of competition law. Recent policy developments in the region are particularly instructive on cross-border mergers and international cartel investigations. Although this book’s focus is on Latin America, its in-depth exploration of areas such as information exchange among competition authorities, compliance, settlements and remedies are of great value and interest to competition lawyers and policymakers worldwide. Including numerous recent cases and best practice indicators, the contributors ̄ competition authority officials, practitioners, academics and economists ̄ cover such topics and issues as the following: • antitrust compliance programs; • competition advocacy; • bid rigging in public procurement; • predatory pricing; • use of indirect evidence in investigations; • shareholders’ damages claims; • relation between antitrust and intellectual property; and • merger control. There are country-specific chapters on particular developments in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico and Paraguay. Highlighting the importance of international competition regulatory cooperation, this insightful book offers both practical guidance and food for thought to lawyers at national competition authorities, corporate counsel, and other competition law practitioners and academics.

Download or read book Implementing Effective Competition Law in the Pharmaceutical Industry in Mexico written by Carlos Mena-Labarthe and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyses how governments can introduce more competition in the pharmaceutical sector. Considering it involves harmonizing issues such as incentives to innovate and perform research and development (R&D), Intellectual Property (IP) rights, healthcare policy and public budget concerns, the task of analysing competition in this industry is difficult for academic purposes and even more for public policy. During the past years, competition law enforcement has proven to be an essential tool to increase access to pharmaceutical products and technologies around the world. Its importance arises especially from the fact that it allows authorities to impose broader remedies than IP law does. Additionally, the paper shows how advocacy efforts can be very successful in removing regulatory barriers to entry that may be impeding new entrants and market efficiencies. Consumers and the industry as a whole can benefit from more competition in these markets but it is not easy to strike a correct balance. The paper analyses the case of Mexico in relation to many other jurisdictions around the world, especially developing countries, to understand the main issues related to competition policy in this industry.

This book was released on 2010-10-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern competition law was first employed by countries over one hundred years ago in order to address issues relating to restrictions of trade at the national level. Recent international economic integration has weakened the distinction between the domestic and the international in several fields of economic activity, and consequently the laws which regulate such activity, competition law included. Several attempts to address the paradox of adopting national competition rules to address international issues have been made at the international, regional and (lately) bilateral levels. This book discusses the international dimension of EU competition law, and examines the position taken by the EU in four distinct categories of international agreements which are devoted to competition or include competition provisions. In particular, it analyses the EU's position with regard to bilateral enforcement cooperation agreements, bilateral free trade agreements, plurilateral-regional agreements and the long negotiations for the adoption of a multilateral competition regime.
