1. Competition Compliance Program

Companies can be punished by the Turkish Competition Authority with an administrative fine up to 10% of their annual income in case they act in contrary to the competition rules. Considering that the companies (especially in banking, automotive and GSM operating sectors) are punished with high administrative fines, competition compliance programs arise as a requirement for all companies.
