Topics and Questions addressed:
- Overview and brief history of the Antimonopoly Law (AML). What broad areas does the AML cover? Who enforces the AML?
- What is the role of the three enforcement agencies? How are the substantive areas allocated among the agencies? Are the roles and procedures the same across all three?
- What is the role of courts? Do the courts have power to review and amend or remand or annul agency actions? Are there training programs for judges? Have the courts issued any important decisions yet?
- What is the role of complaints from private parties and others outside the agencies? Can customers, competitors, and suppliers all complain? Can local or central-level authorities, agencies, or state-owned enterprises complain?
- How are state-owned and formerly state-owned enterprises handled?
- Have the agencies adopted implementing rules and regulations yet? What are the key aspects of the regulations so far?
- What rules and regulations have not yet been adopted? What are some of the main questions regarding the AML or the implementing regulations?
