反垄断法中的相关市场界定及我国的取向

The Definition of Relevant Market in Anti-monopoly Law and China's Alternatives

中文关键词:  相关市场  经营者集中  滥用市场支配地位  反垄断执法机构

英文关键词:relevant market  concentration of business operators  abuse of dominant market power (abuse of market ascendancy)  antimonopoly enforcement authorities

中文摘要:

      相关市场界定是反垄断法实施过程中的一个重要环节，也是评价经营者行为是否具有排除或限制竞争效果的前提程序。美国2010年横向合并指南扭转了相关市场界定在反垄断执法中的立场和作用，强调应将行为的反竞争效果评价作为反垄断审查的中心环节，具有正本清源的重要价值。我国反垄断法的结构特征决定了无法忽视相关市场界定的作用，但是降低相关市场界定的作用更符合我国目前的反垄断法执法模式以及违法标准的设计，美国的经验对于我国反垄断执法具有一定的借鉴价值。

英文摘要:

      The relevant market definition is a significant process in the implementation of antimonopoly law and is also a premise procedure to evaluate whether a business operator's behaviors have an effect of eliminating or restricting the competition. The Horizontal Merger Guideline (2010) by U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission has reduced the position and function of the relevant market definition, which emphasizes on the evaluation of anti-competition effects of the behavior as the focal process of antimonopoly review, which is of significant value in radical reform. The structural characters of Antimonopoly Law of P. R. China have determined the inability to neglect the function of the relevant market definition. However, to reduce the function of the relevant market definition would be more suitable for the enforcement of China's antimonopoly law and the design of illegal standard. The experiences of USA are of certain reference value to the enforcement of China's antimonopoly law.
