Purpose and competence
Market inquiry is maintained for Competition & Consumer Authority. Its scope follows the office’s mandate: Investigates monopoly power and protects residents from unfair commercial practices.
A gateway requires every cooperative to buy a bundled utility and freight contract. The Authority defines the relevant market, gathers independent access evidence and examines whether the arrangement excludes alternatives. Essential supply continuity is considered separately from the operator's proposed penalty or debt claim
