PROBLEM: We are aware that in this age of strategic alliances and millennium mergers - in 1998 USD 2 400 billion was paid out in connection with take-overs - restrictive practices are being held in check, not just by our own rules but also by bilateral cooperation with the USA or Japan, or others, until we get the international competition law we so badly need.

SOLUTION:
Sabemos que en la era de las estrategias de alianzas y fusiones del milenio -en 1998 se pagaron 2.400 millardos de dólares estadounidenses en operaciones de adquisición-, la contención de las prácticas perjudiciales para la competencia no se limita a nuestras propias normas sino que, mientras no exista un derecho de competencia internacional -¡que es imprescindible que se establezca!-, también pasa por la cooperación bilateral con los Estados Unidos o Japón, o con otros países.
