HUB&SPOKE KARTELİNİN ÖZELLİKLERİ – UYGULAMANIN YENİDEN SATIŞ FİYATININ BELİRLENMESİNE YÖNELİK TARTIŞMALAR İLE İLGİSİ
Abstract
Hub&Spoke Karteli rekabet hukukunda yeni bir kavramdır ve rekabet teorisi ve uygulamasında gün geçtikçe daha da fazla yer almaktadır. Kavramın içeriği henüz netleşmemiş olmakla birlikte şimdiye kadar yayımlanan çalışmalar ile sınırlı sayıda mahkeme kararı ışığında kavramın unsurlarını ortaya koymak mümkün olabilmektedir. Bu minvalde Hub&Spoke, yatay bir fiyat karteli oluşturmaya yönelik bir uyumlu eylemdir ve aynı pazarda, dikey düzlemde faaliyet gösteren bir aktörün aracılığı üzerinden gerçekleştirilen bilgi alışverişi sayesinde mümkün olabilmektedir. Son dönemde anılan kavramın, esasen yeniden satış fiyatının belirlendiği dikey anlaşmalar bakımından bir muafiyet tartışmasına girmemek adına da sıklıkla kullanıldığı görülmektedir. İşbu çalışma altında bu tartışmalara da değinilmektedir.

PREMISES OF THE SO-CALLED HUB&SPOKE-CARTELS AND RELATION OF THE PRACTICE WITH THE DISCUSSIONS ON THE VERTICAL PRICE FIXING AGREEMENTS
Abstract
Hub&Spoke is a new term of competition law and is used in competition theorie and practice ever frequently. Generic meaning of the term is not unsealed yet; however there are certain works in the literature and decisions of foreign courts which could enlighten the elements of the term. In this sense Hub&Spoke is a concerted practice, information exchange aiming on building an horizontal price-cartel; the information exchange is realised through a mediator which is active on another vertical level of the same market. Lately it is observed that the term Hub&Spoke is also used to avoid discussions about the efficiency of the so-called vertical price fixing agreements. In this paper you may also find some keys to the mentioned discussions.
