Article 7 prohibits any undertaking or group of undertakings - where its object or effect is to prevent, restrict or distort the free play of competition - from abusively exploiting:

- a dominant position on the internal market or a substantial part thereof;

- the situation of economic dependence of a customer or a supplier having no similar alternative.

Abuse may consist in a refusal to sell, tying or discriminatory terms of sale or the breaking off of a commercial relationship on the sole ground that the partner refuses to accept unjustified trading conditions. It may also consist in directly or indirectly imposing a minimum resale price or a minimum sales margin. 

Act No 104-12 introduced at Article 8 a specific prohibition on price offers or pricing to consumers which are abusively low compared to the costs of production, processing and marketing, when such offers or practices have as their object or may have as their effect the elimination of a market or the preventing of access to a market. This prohibition, which was previously an example of abuse of a dominant position, now no longer requires the holding of such a position.
