One of the key innovations of the first stage of the Antitrust reform was the substantial overhaul of the leniency programme – the possibility of obtaining full or partial immunity from liability for infringements of competition law in the form of anticompetitive concerted practices (Leniency) – as well as the introduction of the settlement procedure in cases concerning anticompetitive concerted practices and abuse of a monopoly (dominant) position (Settlement).
Questions for discussion:
- Historical background to the introduction of the leniency programme in Ukraine
- Current leniency programme in Ukraine: key requirements
- Settlement procedure in cases concerning anticompetitive concerted practices and abuse of a monopoly (dominant) position
- The AMCU’s enforcement practice regarding the leniency programme and the settlement procedure during 2024-2026
- Future outlook: what to expect from the leniency programme and the settlement procedure
