Abstract
Information exchange between competitors has been the focus of antitrust authorities for a long time. Information disclosure may be anti-competitive in nature at least in two different ways. On the one hand, information exchange may constitute an autonomous competition restricting practice. Most of the cases, however, it is only a part of a broader anti-competitive agreement. It is noticeable that recently antitrust authorities not only analyze the phenomenon of multilateral information exchange, but also increasingly tackle the issue of unilateral information disclosure with anti-competitive effects. The purpose of this article is to discuss unilateral information disclosure by competitors and attempt to answer the question under what conditions may such behavior be considered an anti-competitive practice.
