Competition Law and Policy
Macedonia enacted the "Law Against Limiting Competition" (hereinafter, the "Law") on December 15, 1999 (Official Gazette 80/99). The Law creates two bodies: a Monopoly Commission and a Cartel Administration (sometimes referred to as an "antimonopoly authority") that at the time of our interviews were still in the preliminary stages of creation. The Director of the Cartel Administration, Ms. Jasmina Galevska, was appointed to the position on May 23, 2000. Ms Galevska is in the process of building up from scratch a bureaucratic team in order to establish a functioning system of competition policy in the Republic of Macedonia.
At the time of the diagnostic, the Cartel Administration resided within the Ministry of Trade. With the GOM's reorganization and consolidation of ministries in July, the Administration is presumed to have migrated to the Ministry of Economy.
