Summary/Abstract: Governmental protection of economic competition is one of the most important constitutional principles of providing entrepreneurial freedom in Ukraine. A set of legal norms determining frameworks of economic competition protection in Ukraine is an instrument of implementation of this principle. In the modern Ukrainian society, such regulation is provided by a system of norms of antitrust and competitive legislation aimed at formation and maintenance of conditions for optimal functioning of commodity markets, economic freedom, the free flow of commodities, and economic competition protection. Offences in the competitive legislation area include anticompetitive concerted practices of business entities, which harm consumers and inflict losses to the state economy, violating general rules of conduction of competition in the market.
