Abstract. Upon the coming into force of the Law No. 149/2011, the recent changes in the Competition Law bring a significant decrease of the fines level, while encouraging competitors to support the maintenance of a healthy and transparent competition. However, some provisions require application guidelines, while others are tougher than the European law principles.

Keywords: economic operator; lower fines; presumption of dominant position; serious competition constraints; lawyer-client privilege.
