Adriana ALMĂŞAN, Ştefan BOGREA, Harmonization of Romanian Law to EU Competition Law
Abstract: Competition Law has always been a sensitive issue for
the EU. Many Union‑wide objectives are fulfilled by articles 101 and 102 and
any country that adheres to the Union must respect the ample primary and
secondary sources of European Competition Law. Since all European sources of
Competition Law are also internal sources of law, one cannot correctly apply
national competition laws without understanding the EU competition legal
framework. There are three core areas governed by this regime: antitrust law,
abuse of dominant position and concentrated practices. All these areas have
been more or less efficiently covered by the Romanian Law, as this parallel
analysis will show. The harmonization process was long and difficult in Romania
partially because the changes in EU legislation have always taken some time to
be implemented in Romanian Law.
Key‑words: EU Law, undertakings, antitrust law, competition law,
abuse of dominant position, concentrated practices
