Commitments And Changing Market Conditions: The Yemeksepeti Case

The Turkish Competition Board (the “Board”) has partially granted the request to lift the commitments rendered binding¹ against Yemek Sepeti Elektronik İletişim Perakende Gıda AŞ (“Yemeksepeti”) in 2021.²

Having found that a material change occurred in the structure of the online food order-delivery platform services market and that Yemeksepeti is no longer in a dominant position in that market, the Board resolved to lift the commitments on the mandatory Joker discount scheme and the mandatory minimum basket amount, as well as the commitment on the pricing policy of the Vale delivery model; the Board further resolved that the commitment on the narrow most-favoured-nation (“MFN”) conditions may be reassessed following an application to be made in two years’ time.
