简明反垄断法法英文指南/赵庆庆译(33)
问:几年前,我买了一部Total Motors牌轿车,现在我需要更换一些零部件,而且不得不在TM的代理商处购买,这些零部件非常昂贵。这属于非法垄断吗?
答:像这样的销售安排通常是被允许的。TM公司对其品牌的零配件拥有生产专有权。况且,TM公司通过其代理商提供零部件的决策并不会构成服务市场的垄断。除非,这些代理商是TM公司所拥有的,或该公司有通不正当的手段企图垄断市场的迹象。多数汽车代理商都是自主的,但即使情况并非如此,一汽车制造商仍可对其只通过代理商向市场提供零部件的决策拥有正当的抗辩理由。如,确保代理商给消费者提供的零部件的质量。
Q: When I read about mergers, price-fixing, or other competition issues in the newspaper, sometimes it’s the FTC that’s in charge and sometimes it’s the Justice Department. Who decides which agency has responsibility and why?
A: With certain exceptions, the two agencies have antitrust jurisdiction in most industries. To avoid duplicating efforts, they consult before opening an investigation. Over the years, the agencies have developed expertise in particular industries or markets. For example, the FTC devotes most of its antitrust resources to segments of the economy where consumer spending is high: health care, pharmaceuticals, other professional services, food, energy, and certain high-tech industries like computer technology, video programming and cable television. The FTC also is involved in preserving competition in defense industries, to save taxpayer dollars on acquisitions costs.
