简明反垄断法法英文指南/赵庆庆译(24)
Several years ago, the Questar Corp., which operated the only pipeline transporting natural gas to Salt Lake city, tried to acquire a major part of a firm that was planning to begin service to the city. The potential entrant was already having a procompetitive effect on pricing. The FTC blocked the merger, preserving the price benefits for Salt Lake City consumers.
多年前，Questar公司是唯一一家运营通往盐湖城的输气管线的公司。它企图获取另外一家正计划在盐湖城提供类似服务的公司的多数股份。The potential entrant was already having a procompetitive effect on pricing. 联邦贸易委员会阻止了此项合并，维持了有利于盐湖城的消费者的价格水平。
Price Discrimination
价格岐视
A seller charging competing buyers different prices for the same "commodity" or discriminating in the provision of "allowances" -- compensation for advertising and other services -- may be violating the Robinson-Patman Act. This kind of price discrimination may hurt competition by giving favored customers an edge in the market that has nothing to do with the superior efficiency of those customers. However, price discriminations generally are lawful, particularly if they reflect the different costs of dealing with different buyers or result from a seller’s attempts to meet a competitor’s prices or services.
