MULTILATERAL INTERNATIONAL TREATIES IN THE FIELD OF THE PROTECTION OF COMPETITION. PARIS CONVENTION.TRIPS

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the international conventions on competition law. The subject of the research is the relation of the European law (primary and secondary) to the international sources which include competition law regulations - Paris convention for the protection of industrial property and WTO's intellectual property (TRIPS) agreement. The article analyses the main principles on which multilateral international sources are based and their function — the principle of national treatment, the principle of minimum protection and the principle of the most favored nation. The national treatment principle applies only in respect to the national laws. The application of the same principle in respect of the European law (primary and secondary) is controversial. The rules about protection of competition in these international treaties are also discussed. The conclusion that can be drawn is that the regulation about the protection of competition is not sufficient.
