Anti-competitive practices resulting from the concession contract

Abstract

The success of business projects may depend on effective marketing strategies,as some goods or services require sophisticated means of production and distribution based mainly on special technologies. The franchise contract is one of the most important of these means, as it is based on the transfer of scientific knowledge and the provision of continuous and periodic technical assistance and legal and administrative information to the recipient’s members of the distribution network. These contracts are often concluded with clauses that impede competition, such as the exclusive clause or the condition of dividing the market, but they find their justification in developing the quality of products and improving distribution and fairness, which is necessitated by the need to achieve economic and Social Interest, which requires licensing by the Competition Council.
