Price Supervision Act ((PrSA))

Art. 14

1 If the legislature or the executive of the Confederation, a canton or a commune is responsible for setting or approving a price increase requested by the parties to a competition agreement or a company with market power, it shall first consult the Price Supervisor. The Price Supervisor may request that a price should not be increased at all or to the extent intended or that an abusively maintained price be reduced. 2 The authority shall cite the Price Supervisor’s opinion in its decision. If it does not follow it, it shall give reasons for this. 3 When examining whether a price abuse has occurred, the Price Supervisor shall take account of any overriding public interests.
