The Application of Consumer Interests in China's Anti-monopoly Law Enforcement: Take the Cases of Industry and Commerce Bureau as an Example

Abstract

Article 1 of China's Anti-monopoly Law stipulates that one of its legislative purposes is to protect the interests of consumers. In the Article 15 of China's Anti-monopoly Law, it is explicitly required that the exemption from monopoly agreements is "enable consumers to share the benefits." How to Interpret Consumer Interests in China's Anti-monopoly Law Enforcement? Is this interpretation consistent and clear? What is the difference with other jurisdictions? What is the problem? This paper will only choose Industry and Commerce Bureau 's cases to analyse, in the view of consumer interests. Eventually we will know the application of consumer interests in China's Anti-monopoly Law Enforcement, through the analysis and understanding of the cases.
