Abstract

Based on the analysis of legislation, the practice of its application and scientific literature, this article reveals some aspects of state control of economic concentration in commodity markets, including the categories of state control and economic concentration, highlights various approaches to the definition of the concept of “transaction execution” in antimonopoly legislation and makes specific proposals on this matter. In particular, the implementation of the transaction is proposed to be understood as the commission, not the execution of the transaction. In addition, the term “transaction” can be interpreted not as binding, but as an administrative legal fact, which has both negative and positive aspects. The positive aspects of this approach include the fact that a number of administrative transactions could be made without the consent of the antimonopoly authority, and this practice could entail the challenge of not the entire contract as a whole, but only part of it. In conclusion, the article notes that the key feature of antimonopoly legislation is the possibility of transforming traditional institutions of civil law into the sphere of public law.
