Comparative analysis of elements of anticompetitive violations in the Republic of Moldova, the Kyrgyz Republic, and the European Union [Articol]

Abstract

Purpose of the article: The paper aims to conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of the competition law provisions in the Republic of Moldova, the Kyrgyz Republic, and the European Union, focusing on the procedures for ordering and carrying out dawn raids at the premises of economic agents. Methodology: The research methodology involves a comparative analysis of competition law norms, identifying differences and similarities among the three jurisdictions, and drawing conclusions regarding their effectiveness and practical implications. Conclusions: Effective implementation of competition law during dawn raids requires clearly defined and detailed procedural rules. Establishing and communicating the rights and obligations of the parties involved ensures procedural balance and allows the inspection to achieve its purpose without prejudicing the inspected economic entity. Originality: The originality of the study lies in the comparative evaluation of the legal frameworks governing dawn raids and in drawing conclusions about the efficiency of their practical application across different jurisdictions.
