摘要

摘要新冠肺炎的迅速蔓延引发了意想不到的全球大规模恐慌，对许多市场的运行产生了重大影响。由于从个人和医疗设备到基本食品等必需品的价格大幅上涨，特别是在疫情爆发时，世界各地的许多竞争主管部门都面临着过度定价的问题。这场危机不仅仅是定价问题，无论公众或国家是否愿意为某些产品付费；问题的核心是，供需之间突然出现了严重的不对称。基于这种不对称性，本文承认，由于第102（a）条在适用过程中存在概念和实际困难，未能对这场危机做出快速有效的反应，并探讨了竞争主管部门和政府用来对付病毒奸商的其他方式。

A closer look on the effectiveness of the EU legal framework for excessive pricing during the COVID-19 crisis

ABSTRACT The unanticipated global mass panic that has arisen as a result of the rapid spread of the COVID-19 has had a major impact on the functioning of many markets. Many competition authorities around the world have faced with excessive pricing practices due to the dramatic price hikes of essential items, ranging from personal and medical equipment to basic food products particularly at the onset of the pandemic. The crisis has not been just about pricing, whether the public or the state is willing to pay for certain products or not; at the heart of the problem, there has been a sudden sharp asymmetry between the supply and demand. Based on this asymmetry, this article, by acknowledging that Article 102 (a) fails to deliver a swift and efficient response to this crisis due to conceptual and practical difficulties in its application, addresses other ways that competition authorities and governments use to deal with the virus-profiteers.
