Japanese competition law consists of the , officially the , and several other statutory laws. The AMA was introduced during the postwar Allied occupation. The U.S. Government, on 6 September 1945, issued a presidential directive instructing the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers (SCAP) to dissolve Zaibatsu structures. Prior to World War II, Japan had no antitrust laws. There were seventeen Zaibatsu organisations, the four largest of which had controlled approximately a fourth of all of the paid-up capital in the Japanese economy just prior to the World War. In opposition to General MacArthur's fear that Zaibatsu dissolution would lead to instability, the U.S. Departments of State and Justice sent a "Special Mission on Japanese Combines" to Japan for the implementation of a comprehensive antimonopoly framework. In response, MacArthur coerced the Japanese Diet into adopting legislation known as the Antimonopoly Act (AMA), with the persuasion to them that enforcement was optional. ==Antimonopoly Act== MacArthur's AMA, which is still Japan's fundamental competition law, generalised prohibitions against three types of anticompetitive conduct. *private monopolization *unreasonable restraints of trade and *unfair methods of competition. The AMA led to the formation of Japan's Fair Trade Commission (JFTC). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Japanese competition law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
