Summary
Decree No. 95-77 of January 20, 1995, implements specific articles of Law No. 94-63 regarding prices, competition, and economic litigation in Senegal. It establishes the legal framework for price regulation, the administration of anti-dumping and countervailing duties, and the process for pecuniary transactions to resolve economic infractions.
Key insights
- The decree establishes a regime where prices are generally free, but the administrative authority may set price ceilings through authoritative fixation or homologation in cases of market monopoly, concentration, or for public health, hygiene, and environmental protection.
- A Committee on Unfair Trade Practices is created under the Minister of Commerce to advise on anti-dumping and countervailing duties. This committee is chaired by the Director of Foreign Trade and includes representatives from Customs, domestic trade, industry, agriculture, consumers, importers, and national producers.
- The decree defines a system of pecuniary transactions for economic operators who violate price laws, allowing them to avoid judicial prosecution by paying a sum. The authority to grant these transactions is tiered by the value of the infraction: departmental heads up to 100,000 francs, regional heads and national division heads up to 500,000 francs, the Director of Domestic Trade up to 2,000,000 francs, and the Minister of Commerce for amounts exceeding 2,000,000 francs.
- Pecuniary transactions are not granted in cases of recidivism for the same infraction. To benefit from a transaction, the accused must expressly request it, admit to the facts, and sign the official report.
- The decree establishes a National Consumption Council and regional consumption councils to provide opinions and suggestions on prices, consumption, and competition.
