Opis (eng)

Abstract: Welfare and protection of consumers, i.e., benefits for consumers based on a high level of competition between market participants operating on the same relevant market, are the main objectives of competition policies. In other words, this means that, as one of the goals of the competition policy, one should certainly bear in mind public interest, which is also the subject matter of this study. Efficient competition plays a major role in creating an encouraging and developing environment for all market participants; hence, it is very important that the restriction of competition be minimized. In this context, the study deals with the objectives of protection of competition, having in mind the protection of public interest. Also, the study defines the concept of public interest itself, explaining the role of protecting public interest from the perspective of protection of competition. Examples from practice are therefore used to further illustrate the mentioned concepts. The link between protection of public interest and protection of competition has not been analysed in detail in literature, although there is an increasing number of cases before commissions around the world where a national security test or a public interest test is taken into account when deciding not only in concentration cases, but also in antitrust cases.
