REGULATION
As is known, the antimonopoly regulation positions itself as one of the most difficult systems in the legal domain. It is explained by the very fact that this kind of regulation comprises a comprehensive set of economic, administrative and legislative measures, aimed at preventing and restricting the monopoly activity as well as at facilitating the fair competition behavior. The legislative framework is designed for the purpose of regulating the relationship between all-sector entrepreneurship actors, so resultantly there is a real threat that each participant of the competition dimension may become subject to the thorough oversight and supervision of the regulator. The negative supervision result may manifest itself in multibillion penalties, and sometimes in criminal charges.
