| dc.description.abstract | Thirty years of modern competition law systems in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) invite reflection on the lessons the region can offer the world. This paper focuses on enforcing the prohibition of anticompetitive agreements, in particular on collusion involving trade associations. Taking the legacy of the socialist economy as a contextual factor, we show that trade associations may act as vehicles for perpetuating doing business the old way, i.e. according to a cooperative (rather than competitive) paradigm. Our study examines what values other than just protection of competition play roles in enforcing competition law today. The paper analyses enforcement of competition law in five EU Member States in the region – the Czech Republic, Croatia, Poland, Romania and Slovakia – in the period from 2010 to 2020. The primary source of data for the paper consists of decisions by national competition authorities and their annual reports. | en |
