April 2025 – In the first quarter of
2025, the Romanian Competition Council
("RCC") published several significant
decisions, launched new investigations, and imposed fines in cases
involving abuse of dominant position, price coordination, and other
anticompetitive practices.
1. New FDI Guidelines
In February the RCC published the draft FDI guidelines (the
"Guidelines"), which were up for public
consultation until mid-March. The Guidelines aim to clarify the
method for the calculation of the investment value in different
types of transactions, such as share deals, share capital
contributions, multi-jurisdictional transactions, or in case of a
loan or financing by an investor.
