Abstract

Questo contributo guarda ai primi quindici mesi della crisi connessa alla pandemia da Covid-19 per analizzare quale sia stata la strategia dell’Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato in un contesto di profondo turbamento dei mercati. A questo fine, vengono ripercorse le iniziative salienti adottate dall’Autorità sia in materia antitrust sia in materia di tutela dei consumatori. Dall’analisi emerge che, se non si può parlare di sospensione dell’applicazione delle regole di concorrenza, sicuramente durante la crisi vi è stata un adeguamento delle procedure e, soprattutto, è evidente una ridefinizione delle priorità di intervento dell’Autorità. L’avere a disposizione sia gli strumenti della tutela della concorrenza sia quelli a tutela dei consumatori è risultato utile per disincentivare i comportamenti scorretti delle imprese che potevano trovare terreno fertile a causa delle distorsioni causate dall’emergenza economica e sanitaria.
