The Moroccan Competition Council has been granted decision-making power over abuse of dominance cases by a set of laws relating to competition and dominance adopted in 2014:

  • Morocco Law No. 20-13/2014 of 30 June 2014 (Dahir No. 1-14-117) relating to the Competition Council and its Enforcement Decree No. 2-15-109 of 4 June 2015; and

  • Morocco Law No. 104-12/2014 of 30 June 2014 (Dahir No. 1-14-116) on free pricing and competition and its Enforcement Decree No. 2-14-652 of 1 December 2014 (the Law).

Both laws took effect after the appointment of the new members of the Competition Council, in late 2018.

The Competition Council issued its first annual report in its new role in 2020, but no decisions of substance relating to abuse of dominance cases had been issued before 2024. Some of the Competition Council opinions discussed in this chapter were released under the previous legal framework in which the Council had a consultative role only.
