Romanian and EU competition law prohibit companies holding a dominant market position from engaging in practices that could distort competition or harm consumers. Such practices may include imposing unfair prices, limiting production or technical development, applying discriminatory conditions, or tying and bundling products in a way that restricts market access.
Our team provides comprehensive advice to undertakings facing dominance-related issues, whether as market leaders seeking to ensure compliance or as competitors affected by abusive conduct.
We assist with risk assessments, internal compliance programmes, representation before the Romanian Competition Council, and defence strategies in investigations.
Key aspects of dominance cases include:
Market definition and analysis of market shares, barriers to entry, and buyer power.
Excessive or predatory pricing, refusal to supply, exclusivity agreements, discrimination, tying and bundling.
Investigations and sanctions imposed by the Romanian Competition Council, in coordination with EU authorities where relevant.
Fines of up to 10% of the company’s global turnover, alongside behavioural or structural remedies.
Our guidance helps clients understand and manage dominance-related risks while securing compliance and long-term stability in their business operations.
