Ms. Mariya Nizhnik talks about concentration problems at the First Ukrainian Competition Forum
The First Ukrainian Competition Forum was held in Kyiv on October 15-16, 2009. The event was supported by the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine.
The purpose of the forum was to make its participants aware of AMCU’s recent practices, discuss the most urgent issues, perspective development of the competition practice in Ukraine and to facilitate public dialogue among the AMCU, businessmen, governmental authorities, and reputable law firms specialized in the competition law to negotiate problem aspects of laws and law enforcement practices.
The Forum participants discussed such issues as concentrations, anticompetitive concerted actions and abuse of the monopoly (dominant) position on the most significant markets of Ukraine, as well as those related to protection against unfair competition, including misleading advertising.
Ms. Mariya Nizhnik, senior associate with Vasil Kisil & Partners, outlined the specifics of merger clearance applications handling by the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine. “To have an efficient, appropriate, transparent and predictable procedure for handling applications at the AMCU is one of the most important criteria ensuring the best results for a customer with minimum time and funds spent,” – noted Ms. Nizhnik in her speech.
