Competition law
Competition law ensures that restrictive practices between companies are prohibited. Competition law also prohibits the abuse of dominant positions by companies. In addition, where appropriate, companies must report their intention to merge or set up a joint venture to the (local) competition authority. In the Netherlands, the Authority for Consumer and Markets (’ACM’) has exclusive powers to impose fines on companies and natural persons that violate the competition rules. Competition law is also increasingly being invoked in civil proceedings.
