(二)阅读材料,然后用中文回答文后问题(共15分)
France has a written constitution which specifies how power is divided between executive, legislature and judiciary. There are no regional legislatures and all local government is subordinated to the central government, so that the problems of a conflict of powers between the centre and localities do not arise. Legislation of the French Parliament is vetted by a Constitutional Council before it comes into force, but there is no court which can invalidate legislation on the ground of its content after it has come into force.
问题:
1. 文中Constitutional Council指什么?(5分)
2. 文中后半部分描述的是哪一国的什么制度?请予以详细说明。(10分)
(三)阅读以下段落,然后用中文回答问题。(共20分)
A predatory pricing conspiracy is by nature speculative. Any agreement to price below the competitive level requires the conspirators to forego profits that free competition would offer them. The forgone profits may be considered an investment in the future. For the investment to be rational, the conspirators must have a reasonable expectation of recovering, in the form of later monopoly profits, more than the losses suffered.
The success of such schemes is inherently uncertain: the short-run loss is definite, but the long-run gain depends on successfully neutralizing the competition. Moreover, it is not enough simply to achieve monopoly power, as monopoly pricing may breed quick entry by new competitors eager to share in the excess profits. The success of any predatory scheme depends on maintaining monopoly power for long enough both to recoup the predator's losses and to harvest some additional gain. Absent some assurance that the hoped-for monopoly will materialize, and that it can be sustained for a significant period of time, the predator must make a substantial investment with no assurance that it will pay off. For this reason, there is a consensus among commentators that predatory pricing schemes are rarely tried, and even more rarely successful.
Here, the plaintiff alleged that the defendants had conspired over a period of many years to charge below-market prices in order to stifle competition. Such a conspiracy is incalculably more difficult to execute than an analogous plan undertaken by a single predator. The conspirators must allocate the losses to be sustained during the conspiracy's operation, and must also allocate any gains to be realized from its success. Precisely because success is speculative and depends on a willingness to endure losses for an indefinite period, each conspirator has a strong incentive to cheat, letting its partners suffer the losses necessary to destroy the competition while sharing in any gains if the conspiracy succeeds. The necessary allocation is therefore difficult to accomplish.
Finally, if predatory pricing conspiracies are generally unlikely to occur, they are especially so where, as here, the prospects of attaining monopoly power seem slight. Two decades after their conspiracy is alleged to have commenced, the defendants appear to be far from achieving this goal: the two largest shares of the retail market in television sets are held by RCA and respondent Zenith, not by any of petitioners. Moreover, those shares, which together approximate 40% of sales, did not decline appreciably during the 1970's. Defendants’ collective share rose rapidly during this period, from one-fifth or less of the relevant markets to close to 50%. Neither the District Court nor the Court of Appeals found, however, that the defendants' share presently allows them to charge monopoly prices; to the contrary, the plaintiffs contend that the conspiracy is ongoing -- that defendants are still artificially depressing the market price in order to drive Zenith out of the market. The data in the record strongly suggests that that goal is yet far distant.
The alleged conspiracy's failure to achieve its ends in the two decades of its asserted operation is strong evidence that the conspiracy does not in fact exist. Since the losses in such a conspiracy accrue before the gains, they must be "repaid" with interest. And because the alleged losses have accrued over the course of two decades, the conspirators could well require a correspondingly long time to recoup. Maintaining supracompetitive prices in turn depends on the continued cooperation of the conspirators, on the inability of other would-be competitors to enter the market, and (not incidentally) on the conspirators' ability to escape antitrust liability for their minimum price-fixing cartel. Each of these factors weighs more heavily as the time needed to recoup losses grows. If the losses have been substantial -- as would likely be necessary in order to drive out the competition -- defendants would most likely have to sustain their cartel for years simply to break even.
Courts should not infer conspiracies when such inferences are implausible, because the effect of such practices is often to deter procompetitive conduct. The plaintiffs, i.e. the defendants' competitors, seek to hold defendants liable for damages caused by the alleged conspiracy to cut prices. Moreover, they seek to establish this conspiracy indirectly, through evidence of rebates and other price-cutting activities that plaintiffs argue tend to prove a combination to suppress prices. But cutting price in order to increase business often is the very essence of competition. Thus, mistaken inferences in cases such as this one are especially costly, because they chill the very conduct the antitrust laws are designed to protect.
