مجلس المنافسة وسلطات الضبط القطاعية بين إشكالية تداخل الاختصاص ومحدودية آلية التكامل

Abstract EN

The Algerian legislator has adopted a number of legal texts in order to control economic activity and to ensure free and fair competition between the various economic agents.

It has assigned the task of ensuring the competitive and transparent functioning of this market by suppressing practices restricting competition and monitoring economic groupings, to a body with general and original competence in the field of control.

The markets are generally represented by the Competition Council as an independent administrative authority.

However, this task is not limited to the Competition Council alone, but has also been entrusted to a group of other authorities in specific sectors, which has resulted in an overlap of jurisdiction between the Competition Council and the sectoral regulatory authorities.

In order to avoid the conflict of jurisdiction between them and the negative effects that it has on the control process, the Algerian legislator tried to regulate the functional relationship between them in order to preserve the continuity and efficiency of the control process, by dedicating the mechanism of cooperation and exchange between them, but unfortunately the practical reality proved the limitations of this mechanism.
