Bilindiği gibi çevresel düzenlemelerin özellikle son yıllarda tüm dünyada önemi gittikçe artmıştır ve önümüzdeki süreçte anılan düzenlemelerin gündemde daha çok yer alması beklenmektedir. Bununla birlikte bu düzenlemelerin bazı uygulamalarının pazardaki rekabetçi yapıyı bozabileceği de görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada çevresel düzenlemeler hakkında bilgi verilerek bu düzenlemelerin rekabeti etkilediği alanlar ortaya konulmaktadır. Bu kapsamda giriş bölümünü takiben çevresel düzenlemelere genel bir bakış altında bu düzenlemelere niçin ihtiyaç duyulduğu anlatılmaktadır. Sonraki bölümde ise fayda maliyet analizine değinilerek çevresel düzenlemelerin ekonomi üzerindeki etkilerine teorik ve pratik örneklerle yer verilmektedir. Dört numaralı bölümde çevresel düzenlemelerin pazarda faaliyet gösteren teşebbüsler üzerindeki etkileri değerlendirilmektedir. Bir sonraki bölümde ise çevresel düzenlemeler ve pazara giriş engelleri batık maliyetlerin artması, pazara yeni giriş yapan şirketlere yönelik farklı uygulamalar, lisans-sertifika yükümlülüğü ve bürokrasi ve arazi kullanımı planlaması kapsamında ele alınmaktadır. Altıncı bölümde çevresel düzenleme ve rekabet politikası kapsamında sırasıyla pazar tanımı, birleşmedevralmalar, rakip maliyetlerin artırılması, gönüllü anlaşmalar, devlet yardımları ve sübvansiyonlar, tahsis ticareti incelenmiştir. Takip eden bölümde çevresel düzenlemeler, rekabet otoriteleri açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç bölümde ise çalışmanın sonunda ulaşılan sonuçlara yer verilmiştir

THE EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION ON COMPETITION

Öz

In recent years, the environmental regulations have been gaining importance in all around the world. Doubtless to say; environmental regulations are inevitable for us and for the next generations not only for a clean environment but also for a blooming world. However, while pursuing its objectives, an environmental regulation may distort competition, whereas competition is the most crucial element for market economies. This paper focuses on some sort of enviromental regulations and the interaction of those regulations with competition policy. In this regard, following the introduction, the reader can find a general overview of the environmental regulations in the second part. The third part covers information about cost and benefit analysis. The fourth section evaluates the effects of environmental regulations on existing firms. Part five examines environmental regulations and entry barriers in the context of sunk costs, vintage differentiated regulations, licensing, certification and red-tape, land use planning. The sixth part deals with an analysis of the effects of environmental regulations on competition policy with respect to market definition, mergers&acquisitions, increasing rival costs, voluntary agreements, state aids and tradable permits markets. While the seventh part is designed to provide suggestions for competition authorities to consider in this process, the final part draws the conclusions
