滥用相对优势地位规制的“死灰复燃”?——兼评《反不正当竞争法(征求意见稿)》相关条款的修改

Regulating the Abuse of Superior Bargaining Position Revisited--A Review of Amendments on the Drafted Anti-Unfair Competition Law

相对优势地位不同于市场支配地位。从理论层面看规制滥用相对优势地位具有现实意义,其价值主要体现在对不应当、不适宜由反垄断法或民法介入干预的行为进行调整:例如补正本不应当由反垄断规制的所谓剥削性滥用行为的“假阴性错误”。但从实践层面规定并适用相对优势地位条款的前提必须是规制收益显著大于规制成本;如果《反不正当竞争法》修改不能有效控制规制成本溢出的风险则不应贸然引入相关优势地位规制条款。

Superior bargaining positions are different from market dominance.From a theoretical perspective,regulating the abuse of superior bargaining positions has practical significance,and its value mainly lies in adjusting behaviors that shall not be or inappropriate for intervention by anti-monopoly law or civil law:for example,correcting the"false negative errors"of so-called exploitative abusive behaviors that shall not be regulated by anti-monopoly law.However,from a practical standpoint,the prerequisite for stipulating and applying relative advantageous position clauses must be that the benefits of regulation significantly outweigh the costs;if the amendments to the Anti-Unfair Competition Law cannot effectively control the risk of regulatory cost overflow,then the relevant superior bargaining position clauses shall not be hastily introduced.
