Draft guidelines on the analysis of relative monopolistic practices (which include vertical restraints and abuse of dominance) were recently submitted for public consultation by the Costa Rican competition authority (Coprocom). The objective of these guidelines is to provide transparency and predictability on how Coprocom will define relevant markets and market power in abuse of dominance investigations and how the existence of anticompetitive effects will be assessed. The draft guidelines are available here: https://link.btalegal.com/iok
