In this article, joint ventures with a dominant position in the market are examined under European Community Competition Law and United States Antitrust Law. In EC Competition Law, dominant position held by a joint venture in a competitive market is assessed under Article 86, which is concerned with the misuse of market power but not with the mere possession of dominance. After the adoption of the Merger Regulation, joint ventures are classified as concentrative and co-operative, and major concentrative joint ventures are assessed under the Regulation. US Antitrust Law, which includes Sherman Act, Clayton Act and Federal Trade Commissions Act involve substantial provisions of antitrust law. The paper examines the monopoly situations of joint ventures under these legislations and compares the EC Competition Law and the US Antitrust Law with respect to their standpoint on the monopoly position of joint ventures.
