Abstract

Transportation contracts are considered to be very common in the field of domestic and international trade due to undeclared violations of the economy. These contracts, like many of today's contracts, sometimes due to additionality and one-sidedness, are subject to conditions that conflict with the rules governing competition law. Due to the lack of legal literature in our country and the relationship between the various areas of competition law, economic rights, transportation rights, consumer rights and generally market rights, this paper seeks to work through a library and analytical approach. And compliance with the competition law of the European Union, to answer the question of whether the rules of Iranian competition law are clear and comprehensive in terms of legal conflict with antitrust clauses in transportation contracts? The hypothesis of this paper is that, despite the current regulations, there are significant strengths, in some areas we see ambiguities and gaps that can have a negative effect on the practice of the country's competition council. The contents of this paper are presented in two parts: in the first section, examples of antitrust clauses in transportation contracts and in the second part, the guarantee of the implementation of these conditions are examined and, finally, clear and practical proposals to groups that exploit the results of this research.
