Recently the Antitrust Commission in Honduras drafted a Guide of
Reference Document fro the proper definition of Relevant Market
adapted to local law. The document was exposed before many
professionals related to Antitrust and law firm CENTRAL LAW
Honduras has been invited to participate.
In Honduras, Antitrust Law is ruled by Legislative Decree
357-2005 published in La Gaceta Nº 30920 of February 4th 2006
and by internal resolutions of the Antitrust Commission (in
Spanish, CDPC).
The aim of the Law is to promote and protect the free exercise
of free competition to procure an efficient performance of the
market and consumer welfare.
Economic conglomerates are ruled to avoid abuse from companies
with dominant market position; it prohibits the commitment of
restrictive activities of free competition. Also, the Law eases the
coordination and cooperation between CDPC and the Regulatory
Commissions of Banks, Insurances, Telecommunications and
Energy.
