Bu çalışma, uzlaşma programlarının faydalarını ve genel özelliklerini başarılı bir uygulamanın ön koşulları ile birlikte açıklamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda uzlaşma programlarının unsurları incelendikten sonra, bu özelliklerin uygulamaya ne şekilde yansıdığı AB rekabet hukukundaki güncel gelişmeler ışığında tartışılacaktır. Komisyon tarafından alınan son kararlar uzlaşma ile beklenen amaçlara ulaşılıp ulaşılmadığının analizine yardımcı olacaktır. Çalışma, bu çıkarımlardan hareketle Türk rekabet hukukunda uzlaşmanın nasıl uygulandığını değerlendirmeyi hedeflemektedir. Bu değerlendirme, Türkiye’de uzlaşmanın pişmanlık programı altında bir seçenek olarak var olduğunu zira ihlali kabul eden ve yönetmelikte istenen temel bilgileri sağlayarak işbirliği yükümlülüklerini yerine getiren teşebbüslerin indirimden yararlanma seçeneğinin olduğunu; ancak halihazırda sürecin karmaşık olduğunu ve sürece ilişkin farkındalığın zayıf olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Pişmanlık Programının kabulünden bu yana ulaşılan indirime ilişkin kısıtlı uygulama bu tespiti doğrulamaktadır. Bu nedenle uzlaşmaya yönelik açık düzenlemelerin varlığı uygulamada karşılaşılan sorunları ortadan kaldırabilecektir

CARTEL SETTLEMENTS: GENERAL FEATURES, RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION’S PRACTICES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR TURKEY

Öz

This paper aims to explain the benefits, drawbacks and main features of the settlement programs. The conditions for successful application are explained as well. In this context, the practical implementation of settlements will be examined in the light of the EU practices. The assessment of recent decisions will help to see whether stated aims of settlements are achieved or not in practice. These inferences will be helpful to analyze Turkey practices. Although there is settlement option in Turkey under leniency program, the process is complex and the awareness is low. The limited implementation regarding to reduction proves this. Thus, a clear regulation on settlement may help to reduce negative effects. While designing it, general principals of settlements and EU practices should be examined carefully
