GELECEĞE YÖNELİK BİLGİ PAYLAŞIMININ REKABET HUKUKU KAPSAMINDA DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ VE REKABET KURUMUNUN BİLGİ PAYLAŞIMI KONUSUNA YAKLAŞIMI

Rakipler arasında geleceğe yönelik bilgi paylaşımının rekabet hukuku kapsamında değerlendirilmesi oldukça tartışmalı bir konudur. Doktrinde ve uygulamada konuya ilişkin farklı görüşler olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Tartışmalar bu tip bilgi değişiminin amacı itibarı ile rekabeti sınırlandırıcı olup olmadığı ya da paylaşımın per se yasaklanmasının gerekip gerekmediği noktasında düğümlenmektedir. Çalışmamız neticesinde konuyla ilgili farklı görüşler incelenerek, geleceğe yönelik bilgi paylaşımının per se yasak ya da amaç yönünden rekabete aykırı sayılmaması gerektiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Kanımızca, diğer tip bilgi paylaşımlarında olduğu gibi, geleceğe yönelik bilgi paylaşımları da rekabet otoritelerince rekabet üzerindeki sınırlandırıcı etkileri çerçevesinde değerlendirilmelidir

EVALUATION OF INFORMATION SHARING ABOUT FUTURE PLANS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF COMPETITION LAW AND THE APPROACH OF THE TURKISH COMPETITION AUTHORITY ON INFORMATION EXCHANGES

The assessment of the exchange of information regarding future prices and commercial strategies between competitors is a very controversial subject within the scope of the competition law. The literature and the practice involve different opinions about the matter. The focal point of the discussions is whether this type of information sharing restricts the competition by its object or shall it be determined as per se illegal. After examining the distinct views on the subject, our study concludes that, the information sharing on future plans doesn’t restrict the competition by its object and the effects of such an exchange on the competition shall be considered by the competition authorities like other types of information exchanges
