Price Supervision Act ((PrSA))

Art. 15

1 If agreed prices or prices set by a undertaking with market power are already monitored on the basis of other provisions of federal law, the competent authority shall assess them and not the Price Supervisor. 2 The authority shall be guided by this Act insofar as this is compatible with the objectives of its supervision. 2bis The authority shall inform the Price Supervisor of the price assessments it carries out. The Price Supervisor may request that a price increase not be made in whole or in part or that an abusively maintained price be reduced. 2ter 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 Proceedings, rights of appeal and criminal penalties are governed by the relevant federal legislation.
