Abstract

A nélkülözhetetlen eszközök elvét mind az elmélet, mind a gyakorlat oldaláról megkérdőjelezik. A szabályozási irodalomban és a bírói, szabályozói gyakorlatban ugyanakkor - érvényesülésében jelentős időbeli hullámzását mutatva - 1912 óta jelen van az Egyesült Államokban, és az európai uniós verseny- és ágazati szabályozásnak is részévé vált. Az elvet a versenyszabályozás keretei között alakították ki, de egyre gyakrabban hivatkoznak rá a hálózatos szolgáltatások szabályozásában is. Várható szerepéről jelentős vita alakult ki a - hálózatos szolgáltatások közül utolsóként liberalizálódó - postai szolgáltatások új szabályozási rendszerének kialakításakor. Először körüljárjuk a fogalom értelmezésének mai főbb változatait, majd az Egyesült Államok példáján bemutatjuk a nélkülözhetetlen eszközök elvének kialakulását és a versenyszabályozásban elfoglalt helyének változását. Az Európai Unió gyakorlatán keresztül felvázoljuk a nélkülözhetetlen eszközök verseny- és ágazati szabályozásbeli eltéréseit. A magyar jogrendszerben vizsgáljuk a nélkülözhetetlen eszközök fogalmának használatát, majd a postai szolgáltatások területén zajló értelmezési vitákat és szabályozói gyakorlatot vázoljuk fel. Journal of Economic Literature (JEL ) kód: K21, L4, L51, L87.
