Autorité de la concurrence
The Autorité de la concurrence (French: [ɔtɔʁite də la kɔ̃kyʁɑ̃s]; French for 'Competition Authority') is France's national competition regulator. Its predecessor, the Competition Council, was established in the 1950s. The Competition Authority is an autorité administrative indépendante ('independent administrative authority'), responsible for preventing anti-competitive practices and monitoring the functioning of markets. It aims to ensure respect for the law linked "to the defense of a sufficient market competition". Although it is not considered a court, it pronounced injunctions, makes decisions, and if necessary, imposes penalties, subject to appeal to the Court of Appeal of Paris and the Court of Cassation. It also issues opinions. The main sources of law of its action are the Commercial Code (Book IV) and Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Its headquarters are in Paris, at 11 Rue de l'Echelle (some services such as the concentrations or the economy are at 6 avenue de l'Opéra)
