No specific case resolution methods in Turkey. The enforcement is marked by the handlings of the Turkish Competition Authority. The Turkish Competition Authority does not have a consistent practice in terms of cartel regulation and/or case resolutions.

    3. 3 No specific case resolution mechanism (continued) The Turkish Competition Authority may choose one of the following actions. The defendants are not able to select in between: 1. The Turkish Competition Authority may launch a preliminary investigation and reject/drop the case without taking any further action (e.g. Airlines decision). 2. The Competition Authority may launch a preliminary investigation and order certain structural and/or behavioral remedies; but to refrain from launching a full-fledged investigation (e.g. Private teaching institutions decision).

They do not discuss or question the contents of the Competition Boards decisions. 3M / Keskin Decision The arbitral tribunal respected the Boards decision to use Article 9 instead of launching a fully-fledged investigation and refrained from going into the merits of the case under Law No. 4054.
