论海运联营体的反垄断法规制——以P3联盟被禁止为视角

The study on anti-monopoly regulation of maritime consortia——from the analysis of the prohibition of P3 Alliance

全球三大航运企业达成P3协议最终被中国商务部禁止,引起各界的极大关注,也引发对中国海运联营体的反垄断规制的思考。为完善中国海运联营体的反垄断规制,在梳理海运联营体的历史及海运联营体的具体表现形态的基础上,分析对比了中国、欧盟、美国三者对联营体的反垄断规制现状,通过对具体联营协议的内容分析探讨联营体的实质性审查因素,认为中国应当进一步细化联营体协议的豁免条件、规定实质性的审查条款、尽快完善协议备案制度、完善禁止滥用市场支配地位、强化反垄断执法机构职权等。

The P3 network vessel sharing agreement, which consists of Maersk, CMA and MSC, finally has been prohibited by Ministry of Commerce of China. It not only got more attention, but also initiated studies on China＇ s anti-monopoly regulation of maritime consortia. In order to promote the anti-trust rules for consortia of China, this paper firstly investigates the history and forms of consortia, then demonstrates the three different anti-trust rules of China, EC and U. S. A By analyzing the arti- cles of P3 agreement, this study also states a comprehensive understanding of substantial elements of censorship. Finally, It suggests that Chinese government should adopt measures such as specifying the conditions of exemption, enacting substantial review articles with regard to consortia, systematizing the consortia filing system as soon as possible, improving the system prohibiting abuse of dominant position, and strengthening the function and power of anti-monopoly authorities.
