The Competition Council has unanimously decided to refer the case concerning possible anti-competitive practices in the hydrocarbon distribution market back to the investigation stage.
“Pursuant to the provisions of article 38 bis of law no. 104-12, as amended and supplemented, the Competition Council has unanimously decided to refer the case concerning possible anti-competitive practices in the hydrocarbon distribution market to the investigating authority,” said a statement by the General Rapporteur of the Competition Council.
This decision follows amendments to the legal framework governing competition in Morocco, following the entry into force of Law n°40-21 amending and supplementing Law n°104-12 on freedom of pricing and competition, and Law n°41-21 amending and supplementing Law n°20-13 on the Competition Council, the same source said.

In the light of the aforementioned decision, a report on the subject will be drawn up by the investigating departments and presented to the Council’s college, as part of a procedure that takes account of the aforementioned amendments, in particular those made to articles 31, 33 bis, 37, 38 bis and 39 of the aforementioned law 104-12, the statement concluded.
