Abstract

With the modernisation of European Competition Law, the European Commission has been given a discretion to fi nalise competition investigations either with prohibition decisions or commitment decisions. If one looks at the antitrust related decisions of the European Commission given within the European energy markets, it would be seen that most of the decisions are concluded through commitment-based antitrust enforcement. This trend adopted by the European Commission may have advantages such as the effi cient and swift resolution of competition problems. Yet, on the other hand, it may cause some problems namely uncertainty of law. In this regard, it is still important for the doctrine to discuss the frequently application of commitment decisions as well as the effects of them within recently liberalised markets such as energy.

Özet

Avrupa Rekabet Hukuku’nun modernleşmesi ile başka bir deyişle 1/2003 sayılı Tüzüğün yürürlüğe girmesi ile Avrupa Komisyonu’na rekabet soruşturmalarını hem ihlal kararları hem de taahhüt kararları ile sonuçlandırma yetkisi verilmiştir. Bu yetki ile donatılmış Avrupa Komisyonu’nun enerji pazarında vermiş olduğu Rekabet Hukuku kararları incelenecek olursa görülecektir ki rekabet soruşturmalarının büyük bir kısmı taahhüt mekanizması işletilerek sonuçlandırılmıştır. Bu türlü bir gelenek oluşturulmasının yararları olmakla birlikte ortaya çıkabilecek olumsuzluklar da göz ardı edilemez. Taahhüt kararları hiç kuşkusuz zamandan ve maddi kaynaklardan tasarruf zemini oluştururken uygulanan taahhütlerin kapsam ve içerikleri ve ortaya çıkardıkları sonuçlar özellikle yeni rekabete açılan enerji pazarı gibi pazarlarda hukuki şeffafl ığın ortadan kaybolmasına sebep olabilir niteliktedir. Bu nedenle taahhüt mekanizmasının sıklıkla kullanılması ve uygulanan taahhütlerin yapısı ve kapsamı doktrin tarafından hararetle tartışılan konular arasında varlığını sürdürmektedir
