Legal aspects of competence delimitation of the European union institutions in the field of antitrust policy

Abstract

The paper provides an analysis of regulatory legal acts enshrining the powers of the institutions and bodies of the European Union, their interaction, as well as prospects for the further development of the mechanism for regulating the antitrust policy of the Union. According to the results of the study, the author concludes that the mechanism for regulating antimonopoly policy, established within the European Union, is adequately effective mainly due to the system of checks and balances, when no Union institution has exclusive power to make decisions. Despite this, the mechanism is developing, and it is developing along the path of decentralization. It appears that this should lead to the fact that compliance with Union antitrust laws will only increase.
