论反垄断法规范中的规则与标准

Rules and Standards in Antimonopoly Legal Norms

中国《反垄断法》实施十余年来,对垄断行为的规制在法律适用中不断积累经验。然而,对于反垄断法规范的性质及其构成的认识,却仍存较多模糊之处,亟待厘清。识别反垄断法规范中的规则与标准构成,是检视当前发展路径的应然选择。为此,应当厘清横向垄断协议和经营者集中申报法规范的规则性质,以及纵向垄断协议、市场支配地位滥用行为认定和经营者集中审查法规范的标准性质。在此基础上,于法律适用中,必须坚持规则的归规则,标准的归标准。只有在成文法中纳入形成共识的标准,才能够确立并保有法律解释的一致性和法律适用的稳定性,最终于规则与标准的结合适用中迈向实质正义。

China has been continuously accumulating experience in the regulation of monopolistic behaviour during the implementation of the Anti-Monopoly Law over the past decade.However,the understanding of antimonopoly law norms as a whole has not been improved in general and many vague ideas remain to be clarified.To improve this situation,it is necessary to identify the rules and standards in the antimonopoly legal norms.The legal norms concerning horizontal monopolistic agreements and the notification of undertaking concentration are rules in nature,while the legal norms concerning vertical monopolistic agreement,abuse of dominance,and the review of undertaking concentration are standards in nature.Thus,in the process of the law application,we should adhere to the rule-standards categorization and explore the way to integrate standards into the statutory law.Only in this way can we establish and maintain a consistency of legal interpretation and stability of law application,and achieve a substantive justice through combined application of rules and standards.
