竞争是市场经济的本质,也是市场经济发展的必然要求,然而,在市场经济条件下,具有竞争关系的经营者为获取超额垄断利润,往往会采取横向垄断协议这种限制竞争的方式。联合定价是横向垄断协议中的一种,其对竞争损害最为直接和严重,扭曲价格信号,妨碍市场规律的发挥,并且最终损害消费者的利益,所以,反垄断法对横向垄断协议采取了严厉的禁止态度。 Competition is the essence of the market economy and an inevitable requirement for the development of the market economy. However, in the market economy, competition managers often resort to horizontal monopoly agreements as a way of restricting competition in order to obtain excess monopoly profits.

Therefore, the anti-monopoly law has taken strict horizontal monopoly agreements Prohibited attitude.
