Para B - Objective - CCI (Competition Assessment Of Legislations And Bills) Guidelines, 2015

B. Objective The objective of these Guidelines is to facilitate objective and transparent assessment of select economic legislations enacted recently by Parliament or State Legislatures and also the economic bills pending or coming up before them in near future from competition perspective. Based on the assessment, the Commission would suggest, if necessary, appropriate modifications in the legislation or the bill, as the case may be, along with the reasons for the same from the competition perspective, to the relevant stakeholders, including Parliament / State Legislature, the Administrative Ministry or the Department of the Government which has piloted the legislation / bill, and the Standing / Select Committee of the Parliament / State Legislature that examines the bill. This would complement the proactive role of the Commission in preventing any provision inadvertently sneaking into law that may have potential appreciable adverse effect on competition.
