ORGANISATION Structure In 2010 the Competition Authority underwent structural changes, which also meant changing the names of structural units and to some extent the reallocation of tasks. The Establishment of Price Restrictions on Monopolies Act that entered into force on November 1, 2010, brought along additional tasks to the Authority and therefore it was expedient to implement the certain re-allocation of tasks between structural units. Basically the Authority continued to operate under the effective function-based structure that enables the units to closely co-operate by changing expertise concerning specific fields. According to the statutes of the Competition Authority, the Authority includes three filedbased divisions, which since 01.11.2010 are the Competition Division, the Energy and Water Regulatory Division and the Railway and Communications Regulatory Division. In addition to the divisions, there is an administrative unit, previously named as the General Administration Department which is responsible for ensuring effective support services. Since November 2010 the administrative department has been named the External and Public Relations Department. The Director General is at the head of the Authority (Figure 1). Structural divisions are directed by the Heads of Divisions, who are at the same time the Deputy Directors General. FIGURE 1. Structure of the Competition Authority since 01.11.2010 6
