The Commission for Protection of Competition and the Republic Secretariat for Public Policies have jointly developed a Checklist for assessing the impact of regulations on competition.
The checklist for assessing the existence of the impact of regulations on competition is an auxiliary tool that facilitates the competent authorities, ie proposers of regulations, to correctly assess the existence of the impact of regulations on competition, ie. whether a particular proposal/draft regulation may lead to distortions of competition in the market.
If on the basis of this list it is determined that there may be such an impact, the proposal/draft regulation should be submitted to the Commission for Protection of Competition in order to obtain an opinion.
In accordance with the Law on Protection of Competition, the Commission for Protection of Competition is the only one competent to give opinions to the competent authorities on draft regulations, as well as on valid regulations that have an impact on competition on the market.
The checklist is available on the website of the Commission for Protection of Competition (in Serbian and English) and is an integral part of the Public Policy and Regulatory Impact Assessment Handbook, which is available on the website of the Republic Secretariat for Public Policy.
