转售价格维持可抗辩违法推定规则的证成——丽晶案及其后续发展的启示

Proving the Rebuttable Rule of Illegal Presumption of Resale Price Maintenance——Enlightenment of the Leegin Case and Its Subsequent Development

我国反垄断立法及执法确立了转售价格维持可抗辩的违法推定规则。但是学界和法院却受到了美国丽晶案判决的影响而倾向于合理原则。到目前为止,美国的法院系统并未发展出一套如何具体适用合理原则的方法。反倒是联邦贸易委员会提出了"天然可疑"的规制路径,司法部也提出了结构性合理原则,且前者已经在玖熙案中付诸实施了。两相比较,联邦贸易委员会的路径更胜一筹,同时也契合了欧盟竞争法的可抗辩的违法推定规则。总之,我国现行的转售价格维持立法及执法大体上是合理的,也符合了国际趋势,应当继续坚持,进而可以借鉴"天然可疑"的规制路径进一步完善执法。

The anti-monopoly legislation and law enforcement of our country established the rebuttable rule of illegal presumption for the resale price maintainance.However,scholars and courts are influenced by the American Leegin case judgment and tend to the reasonable principle.So far,American junior court system has not developed a method how to apply the reasonable principle.Instead,the Federal Trade Commission has proposed a“inherently suspicious”regulatory path,the Justice Department has also put forward the principle of structural rationality,and the former has been put into practice in the West Nine case.By comparison,the path of FTC is superior and fits the EU competition law.In a word,the current legislation and enforcement of resale price maintenance in our country are generally reasonable and in line with the international trend.We should continue to adhere to it,and then we can learn from the“inherently suspicious”regulatory path to further improve the law enforcement.
