新西兰新的反托拉斯法案允许自愿补救办法和快速兼并,引起了对公司权力和消费者保护的关切,从而削弱了执法。 New Zealand’s new antitrust bill weakens enforcement by allowing voluntary remedies and fast-tracked mergers, raising concerns about corporate power and consumer protection.

新西兰的《商业（促进竞争及其他事项）修正案法案》因削弱反垄断执法而受到批评，该法案通过用不可执行的自愿“行为救济”取代合并后的强制资产出售。45天的快速通道程序允许合作商业行为继续进行，除非被阻挡，这为大型企业创造了一个“沉默即同意”的漏洞。 New Zealand’s Commerce (Promoting Competition and Other Matters) Amendment Bill faces criticism for weakening antitrust enforcement by replacing mandatory asset sales after mergers with unenforceable voluntary “behavioural remedies.” A 45-day fast-track process allows collaborative business conduct to proceed unless blocked, creating a “silence equals consent” loophole favoring large firms. 该法案缺乏防止算法串通和掠夺性定价的保障措施,并给予可能保护占支配地位的公司的广泛豁免。 The bill lacks safeguards against algorithmic collusion and predatory pricing, and grants broad exemptions that may protect dominant companies. 批评者说,该法案反映了公司的影响,未能解决系统性竞争问题,敦促立法者拒绝该法案,并开展更有力的、可强制执行的改革,以保护消费者。 Critics say it reflects corporate influence and fails to address systemic competition issues, urging lawmakers to reject the bill and pursue stronger, enforceable reforms to protect consumers.
