CHAPTER THREE
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
ACTIVITIES
Article 14. Supervision of competition in the field of electronic communications
1. The Communications Regulatory Authority shall seek to create conditions for
effective competition and its development in the field of electronic communications as well
as conditions to prevent the abuse of market power by undertakings.
2. The Competition Council shall exercise supervision of competition in the field of
electronic communications in accordance with the Law on Competition.
Article 15. Significant market power on a relevant market
1. An undertaking shall be considered to have significant market power if, either
individually or jointly with others, it enjoys a position equivalent to dominance, i.e. a
position of economic strength affording it a power to behave to an appreciable extent
independently of competitors, customers and ultimately consumers.
2. Where an undertaking has significant market power on the relevant market, it may
also be considered to have significant market power on a closely related market, if the links
between the two markets are such as to allow the market power held in one market to be
leveraged into the other market, thereby strengthening the market power of the undertaking.
3. An undertaking shall be identified as having significant market power where this
has been determined by a decision of the Communications Regulatory Authority based on
market analysis, and it shall be deemed as such until the Communications Regulatory
Authority determines by its decision based on another market analysis that the undertaking
does not have significant market power.
