反垄断执法和解中的利益平衡

允许执法者与企业就垄断行为达成和解,是现代反垄断执法的重要特征之一。执法和解反映了企业自治在现代反垄断法上地位的提升,虽能在一定程度上缓和传统执法方式的不足,大大节约执法资源从而促进效率,却易造成公共利益的损失,也可能对相关主体的利益照顾不足;因此,在以和解程序处置垄断案件的同时,必须防止对公共利益的“私相授受”,并对相关主体的利益维护提供制度保障,以实现主体间的利益平衡。

Balance of Interests in Reconciliation System of Antitrust Law Enforcement

Reconciliation is allowed to be reached between law enforcement agencies and enterprises,which is one of the most important features of modern antitrust law.Reconciliation system in the enforcement of antitrust law reflects the advancement of the enterprise autonomy in modern antitrust law.It can ease the limitation of traditional antitrust law enforcement methods in a certain extent,and significantly save enforcement resources so as to promote efficiency,but it does make it likely to harm the public interest or the interests of the relevant subjects.For these reasons,while using reconciliation procedures for the disposal of cases,it is necessary to protect the public interest,and provide an institutional guarantee for safeguarding the interests of the relevant subjects.Only in this way can we achieve the balance of interests between the relevant subjects.
