konkurransevektløftning

Konkurranseveiledning is a Norwegian term that translates to "competition guidance" or "competition counseling." It refers to the process of providing advice and information to individuals or businesses regarding competition law and regulations. This guidance aims to ensure that market players adhere to rules designed to promote fair competition and prevent anti-competitive practices.

In Norway, competition law is primarily governed by the Competition Act, which prohibits agreements that restrict competition, abuses of dominant market positions, and the control of mergers and acquisitions that could harm competition. Konkurranseveiledning can be sought from various sources, including legal professionals specializing in competition law, industry organizations, or sometimes directly from the Norwegian Competition Authority (Konkurransetilsynet) in specific circumstances, though the latter is more for clarification of the law rather than personalized advice.

The purpose of konkurranseveiledning is to help businesses understand their obligations under competition law, identify potential risks, and implement compliance programs. This proactive approach can help prevent costly fines, legal disputes, and damage to reputation. It can cover a range of topics, such as cartel agreements, pricing strategies, distribution agreements, and merger notification requirements. Ultimately, effective konkurranseveiledning contributes to a healthier and more competitive market environment.
