CPC Has Filed a Complaint Against One of the Mobile Operators in Bulgaria
The Commission for Protection of Competition (CPC) will investigate the company under chapter seven of the relevant law, namely unfair competition.
Petko Nikolov, Chair of Bulgaria's Commission for Protection of Competition (KZK), has said that the watchdog has launched new procedures against power distributors.
"We have launched a new procedure against power distributors, related to, let me put it that way, the presence of suspicions on our part, about a coordinated policy for creating obstacles preventing the end-consumer from changing the energy supplier at their discretion," Nikolov said Thursday in an interview for the Bulgarian National Radio (BNR).
Stressing that certain aspects of the liberalization of the energy market had been already set out in Bulgaria's legislation, Nikolov said that such behavior on the part of participants on the market had to be eliminated, allowing end-consumers to pick an energy supplier of their preference.
"Secondary legislation must be drafted to guarantee our rights as consumers" he said
The Chair of the anti-trust watchdog also commented on the expansion of the ongoing sectoral analysis of the competitive environment in the sector of transmission and supply of natural gas and the trade, transmission and supply of electricity.
The step was announced on Wednesday.
Nikolov made clear that the inspection would help establish violations, if any, in an incontestable manner, and the companies would be penalized accordingly.
He also specified that the sectoral analysis was being conducted in close cooperation with the State Commission for Energy and Water Regulation (DKEVR) and was to shed light on the number of participants on the market and their market shares and on potential obstructions to access to the market.
