Introduction On 24 June 2020 Law 7246 Amending the Law on the Protection of Competition entered into force and introduced significant changes to Turkish competition law, including with regard to the commitment mechanism. The commitment mechanism allows undertakings and trade associations to make commitments in the course of an ongoing preliminary investigation or a full-fledged investigation process to address competition concerns (except hardcore violations) arising from Articles 4 and 6 of Law 4054 on the Protection of Competition, which are equivalent to Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union prohibiting restrictive agreements and the abuse of dominance. The mechanism aims to address anti-competitive effects in a timely and effective manner and save time and red-tape costs incurred by both the Turkish Competition Authority (TCA) and undertakings subject to investigation, as stressed by the vice president of the Ministry of Trade.(1) Further, it is generally in the parties' best interest to avoid significant administrative fines and negative publicity as a result of possible violation decisions.
