A Dominant Position as a Sign of Strategic Importance of an Economic Society

The paper analyzes regulatory legal acts governing implementation of transactions with securities, stakes,  property or rights in relation to business entities that occupy a dominant position in a certain commodity market. The paper examines the issues related to the possibility of recognizing a dominant position as a criterion for  classifying an economic society as an economic society of strategic importance for ensuring the country’s defense  and state security (hereinafter: strategic importance) using as an example legislative restrictions on implementation  of economic concentration in relation to organizations, providing communication services, port services, as well  as in relation to natural monopolies. Based on the results of the study, a conclusion is made about the validity of  modern approaches to establishing strategic importance of an economic society through the concept of a dominant  position that over time can be transformed to use the concept of a dominant position as an independent criterion  for establishing strategic importance of an economic society.
