Abstract

Competition law plays an enormous role for development of the economy of Ukraine. Association Agreement signed with the European Union pushed Ukrainian Competition Authority to move forward and fight against anticompetitive agreements. Anti-Monopoly committee of Ukraine has quite sufficient experience in investigation and fighting against cartel agreements. Despite the fact that Ukrainian government gives all efforts for creating free and undistorted competition on the market and tries to maintain market without any restrictive agreements, there are many challenges and gaps to be improved. This paper points out authority and competence of AMCU, recent changes and current gaps in Ukrainian competition law.
