Abstract

Četudi se pravila konkurenčnega prava v Pogodbi o delovanju Evropske unije ('PDEU') nanašajo na podjetje, ni pojem podjetja nikjer definiran. Natančna definicija razsežnosti podjetja pa je v praksi ključna za presojo, katere določbe konkurenčnega prava EU se bodo v konkretnem primeru uporabile. Zato je Sodišče EU v svoji praksi izoblikovalo doktrino ekonomske enote, ki med drugim predvideva, da se lahko družba mati in družba hči dojemata kot eno podjetje za namene konkurenčnega prava EU. V ta namen je potrebno presoditi, ali ima družba mati na ravnanje družbe hčere možnost izvrševati odločilen vpliv in ali ta odločilen vpliv tudi dejansko izvršuje. Pričujoče delo se osredotoča na interpretacijo podjetja oziroma ekonomske enote v kontekstu dveh različnih vprašanj: prvič, ali oz. kdaj so sporazumi oziroma usklajena ravnanja med družbo materjo in družbo hčerjo zajeti s prepovedjo v členu 101(1) PDEU, ter drugič, ali in kdaj lahko Evropska Komisija globo za kršitve konkurenčnih pravil EU s strani družbe hčere pripiše družbi materi. Način, kako Sodišče EU in Komisija presojata možnost in dejansko izvrševanje odločilnega vpliva družbe matere nad družbo hčerjo v okviru teh dveh področij, ni enak. To posledično pomeni, da razsežnost podjetja v teh dveh kontekstih ni identična. Naloga tako skuša odgovoriti na vprašanje, ali je dvojen pristop k definiciji podjetja utemeljen z različnimi cilji posameznih določb konkurenčnega prava EU, ali pa bi moral biti pojem ekonomske enote oziroma podjetja v konkurenčnem pravu EU biti definiran enoznačno.

Secondary title: THE CONCEPT OF DECISIVE CONTROL AND THE BOUNDARIES OF AN UNDERTAKING IN EU COMPETITION LAW
Secondary abstract: Even though the provisions on competition law in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ('TFEU') address undertakings, they do not define what constitutes an undertaking. However, a precise delineation of an undertaking is crucial when determining whether particular provisions of EU competition law apply in the first place. In that regard, the Court of Justice of the EU ('CJEU') developed the so-called single economic unit doctrine, which provides, inter alia, for a company and its subsidiary to be considered to form one undertaking for the purpose of EU competition law. To that end, it needs to be assessed whether the mother company has the power to exercise decisive influence over its subsidiary's commcercial conduct, and whether it does in fact exercise such decisive influence. The thesis critically examines the manner in which the CJEU and the European Commission apply the single economic unit doctrine with respect to two separate issues: first, whether and when agreements and concerted practices between a company and its subsidiary are caught within the prohibition of Article 101(1) TFEU, and second, whether a company may be the addressee of the Commission's decision imposing a fine for anti-cmpetitive conduct of its subsidiary. However, the approach of the CJEU and the European Commission to the interpretation of the possibility, and the actual exercise, of decisive influence differs with respect to the framework of analysis. As a corollary, the boundaries of the concept of an undertaking in EU competition law are not interpreted uniformly. It is attempted to assess whether such dual approach finds justification in differing objectives of the relevant provisions of the EU competiton law, or whether the boundaries an undertaking call for a more uniform interpretation.
