Incidence of Competition Rules in Cooperatives: State intervention on Cooperatives in Brazil
Abstract
The economic activities developed by Brazilian cooperatives for decades have awakened the work of the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE), considering that the constitutional guarantee of non-state intervention (art. 5, XVIII) does not presuppose immunity to the application of antitrust legislation. Given this focus, the research aimed to analyze some of CADE’s decisions on cooperative societies, as well as establishing the need for reflection on the characteristics and peculiarities distinctive of cooperative societies that justify the coordination of agents in the market.
