ANALYSIS OF THE EFFICIENCY OF THE WORK OF THE BODIES OF THE ANTIMONIOPOLY COMMITTEE OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The article considers and analyzes the priority areas of competition policy implementation in Ukraine, means of increasing the competitiveness of the national economy and creating a civilized competitive environment. To achieve sustained economic growth, the key task of the state should be to support effective competition and create equal conditions for all market economy entities. Under the protection of economic competition, we propose to understand the actions of government entities to take measures of administrative termination and administrative liability in order to restore violated rights, legitimate interests of business entities and terminate anti-competitive actions in the field of economic competition and eliminate monopolies. Under martial law, state institutions, in particular the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine quickly adapted to new realities, continuing to ensure work in all areas of competition development and prevention of violations of antimonopoly legislation. It was established that among the violations of antitrust legislation, the largest number is made up of anticompetitive concerted actions. For more effective work, it is desirable to publish the recommendations provided; this would contribute to the popularization of activities and the avoidance of illegal actions by entrepreneurs and business structures. It was concluded that the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine is making every effort to ensure that economic competition is fair and that most product markets are competitive, which fully complies with European standards, further advancing Ukraine on the path to joining the European Community. The purpose of the article is to study the activities of the bodies of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine, including the work of the committee during martial law and during the active European integration of antimonopoly legislation in Ukraine. To achieve the set goal, a system of general scientific and special research methods was used. In particular: methods of classification and typology; generalization method – to identify categories of competition advocacy; abstraction method, abstract-logical methods – to establish components (elements and levers) competition; methods of statistical, logical and system-structural analysis; graph-analytical method for providing clarity of material and schematic representation of a number of theoretical and practical provisions; case study, which consists in studying specific situations of promoting fair competition.
