Abstract

ORTIZ-LAVERDE, Sandra Milena  and  SOTO-PINEDA, Jesús Alfonso. Analysis of the Dissuasive Power of Protection of Free Competition in Colombia: Legal Standards and Public Authority. Díkaion [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.2, pp.313-355. ISSN 0120-8942.  https://doi.org/10.5294/dika.2017.26.2.5.

The article analyzes the dissuasive capacity of the system to protect free competition in Colombia by studying its two legal facets: regulatory standards and the institutional component. The dissuasive capacity of the system implemented in Colombia is examined based on the Model Law on Competition of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, and on the regulatory implementation of dissuasive policies on competition in third-party systems for the defense of free competition. The article also evaluates the above-mentioned dissuasive power of the Office of the Superintendent of Industry and Commerce, based primarily on its organizational qualities and structure.

Keywords : Colombia; competition; antitrust; deterrence; regulatory; Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio.
