State monopolies
A South East European Party shall progressively adjust any State monopolies of a commercial character so as to ensure that, by the end of the second period referred to in the Protocol to this Treaty which contains the transitional measures with regard to the South East European Party concerned, no discrimination regarding the conditions under which goods are procured and marketed exists between nationals of the Contracting Parties.

(b) abuse by one or more undertakings of a dominant position in the territories of the Contracting Parties as a whole or in a substantial part thereof;
(c) any State aid which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or certain products.

European Union, in particular from Articles 93, 101, 102, 106, 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and interpretative instruments adopted by the European Union institutions.
3. Each South East European Party shall ensure that an operationally independent public body is entrusted with the powers necessary for the full application of points (a) and (b) of paragraph 1, regarding private and public undertakings and undertakings to which special rights have been granted.
4. Each South East European Party shall designate or establish an operationally independent authority which is entrusted with the powers necessary for the full application of point (c) of paragraph 1.

6. Each South East European Party shall establish a comprehensive inventory of aid schemes instituted before the establishment of the authority referred to in paragraph 4 and shall align such aid schemes with the criteria referred to in paragraph 2.
7. (a) For the purposes of applying the provisions of point (c) of paragraph 1, the Contracting Parties recognise that during the periods referred to in the Protocol to this Treaty which contains the transitional measures with regard to a South East European Party, any public aid granted by this South East European Party shall be assessed taking into account that the South East European Party concerned is to be regarded as an area identical to those areas of the European Union where the standard of living is abnormally low or where there is serious underemployment as referred to in point (a) of Article 107(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union;
(b) By the end of the first period referred to in the Protocol to this Treaty which contains the transitional measures with regard to a South East European Party, that Party shall submit to the European Commission its GDP per capita figures harmonised at NUTS II level. The authority referred to in paragraph 4 and the European Commission shall then jointly evaluate the eligibility of the regions of the South East European Party concerned as well as the maximum aid intensities in relation thereto in order to draw up the regional aid map on the basis of the relevant European Union guidelines.
8. If one of the Contracting Parties considers that a particular practice is incompatible with the terms of paragraph 1, it may take appropriate measures after consultation within the Regional Steering Committee or after thirty working days following referral for such consultation.
9. The Contracting Parties shall exchange information taking into account the limitations imposed by the requirements of professional and business confidentiality.
