In April 2016, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) promulgated the “Guidance on Anti-monopoly in the Automobile Industry (Draft for Comment)” for public comments, which comprehensively determines monopolistic practices in the automobile industry, including vertical monopoly and horizontal monopoly. The European Chamber Automotive & Auto Components Working Groups, on behalf of member companies, submitted to the NDRC their consolidated comments, which proposed to incorporate auto components suppliers into the regulated parties and provided suggestions on how to define monopolistic practices in a practical manner.
