Development of competitive relations in Russia
Competition
policy is a measure that aimed to raise the economy of the country and include
the rational use of resources, as well as the protection of consumers'
interests. To implement these points, the emphasis is on economic entities,
which provide conditions for the development of enterprises, thus consumers in
the face of the citizens will be security in goods and services. The program is
the formation of competition in Russia is considered the basis for the
implementation of competition policy, defines its priorities and main
directions for the period until 2012, includes antimonopoly control measures,
other protective measures as well as measures to create competition, enabling
and stimulating entrepreneurial activity.
In the interests
of the Government, the chairman approves a new program for the development of
competition, which is aimed at its development. To ensure that this program has
been implemented, provided sureties. In this sector includes the federal
executive bodies and executive bodies of subjects of the Russian Federation and
thereby ensure the implementation of programs within their jurisdiction.
Ministry of
Economic Development of the Russian Federation shall take measures to
coordinate the work of federal executive bodies and executive bodies of
subjects of the Russian Federation to implement the program, including the
development of executive bodies of subjects of the Russian regional programs of
development of competition.
Federal
executive bodies specified submit to the Ministry of Economic Development of
the Russian Federation on a quarterly basis until the 10th day of the month
following the reporting period, data on the implementation of the program.
Antitrust
regulation is considered to be an important tool for protecting competition,
able to warn of threats that have a different character effects. Among the
negative factors can be attributed to a negative impact on the effectiveness of
the implementation of competition protection function. These include congestion
of the antimonopoly authority, statements and actions indirectly combined with
protection of competition. Adjusting pricing only antitrust enforcement methods
can lead to a significant distortion of the competitive environment on the
relevant market. Imperfect legal framework is also considered an obstacle to
the anti-monopoly regulation.
In order to
provide a more perfect antitrust law is necessary to increase the economic
validity of the antimonopoly body adopted decisions. To do this, you need to change
the procedure for establishing the dominant position of an economic entity. The
prevailing situation must be installed on the consideration of a combination of
factors, not just the size of the share of an economic entity in the market.
These factors include, including the presence of obstacles with a view to entry
into the market of new participants, the elasticity of demand for the product,
the availability of substitute goods, the ratio of parts of the company, its
customers and competitors and other factors.
To carry
out an economic analysis, it is necessary to carry out evaluation of the
environment, as well as to formalize and regulate the procedure of its holding.
To perform this task, it is necessary to establish a federal law major
behavioral and structural criteria for the review and evaluation of competitive
ability of the environment, as well as to provide for mandatory inclusion in
the analysis of the results of the decision in the case of non-compliance with
antitrust laws.
Two
categories of violations of the antimonopoly legislation directly and
indirectly related to the restriction of competition is necessary to delineate
clearly.
The first
category is a violation of antitrust laws. The essence of this disorder is that
competition in this case, the limit or may limit, it will certainly affect an
indefinite number of persons engaged in economic activities, and are in the
competitive environment of the individual market. The punishment for this
offense should be tightened and be responsible up to criminal prosecution.
The second
category of offenses include violations that do not carry a special public
danger and are associated exclusively with the individual facts of infringement
of the dominant subject of a specific counterparty consumer. By this also
includes violation of access to infrastructure of natural monopolies (such as
violation of the terms of connection to the electric grids of a non-rival
business entity or person who is not engaged in business activities).
Both
categories have different structures and therefore have a different trial. The
first category does not include a detailed analysis of the market, which
implies a rapid decision. For this violation should provide for the punishment
of a fine to be imposed on a legal person, and then charged to earnings.
Programs
industry development and investment programs of natural monopolies should not
only be linked to each other, but also relate to the general policy of the
development of competition in the Russian Federation, it is aimed at creating
infrastructure in those places where there is a deficit.
An
important anti-crisis measure is to support the demand by expanding public
procurement, as well as the needs of the public corporations and natural
monopolies.
Competition
policy in the crisis should include the following measures:
should
significantly reduce the cost of entering the market, including through the
reduction of administrative barriers in sectors with strong entry barriers;
-
the
implementation of control, it is worth paying attention to the actions of the
authorities, as in the case of economic entities, on the contrary reduced.
-
it is
necessary to approve the responsibility for violations and to consider
non-discriminatory access to services of natural monopolies;
-
should be
reduced the number of transactions, subject to prior approval by the Federal
Antimonopoly Service of Russia, in the first place should be to eliminate the
mandatory approval of transactions within a group of persons;
-
it requires
the development of efficient, extremely accessible and transparent competitive
public procurement system, orders of state corporations and natural monopolies,
including through the expansion of the practice of placing orders on electronic
auctions.
Today, any country and any company can not avoid competition, it has become
a necessity. And gets into a fight, they try to escape from it as winners or
stay at a decent level.
It would not sound strange, but the competition is part of the economic
system, and thanks to her country may create more national wealth at a lower
cost for each type of product, compared with the monopoly and the planned
economy.
Competitiveness of Russian is a very «raw» level. Such a conclusion can be
made on the acts and programs that have been launched and more abolished by the
Russian government, but the situation does not remain without attention and is
under control, which is very encouraging.
