Nevertheless, on the other hand, the detractors of the decentralized system invoke that it supposes the duplication of organisms and that it can break the unit of application of the law of competence in the national territory.
In another order of considerations, it will been necessary of these lines to illustrate brief which has been the iter led by the competition authorities, supported by normative modifications to which the different competition authorities have been adapting. Undoubtdly, in all this tour there raises as angular stone the promotion of the competence, question that provokes the worry and occupation so much the legislative one when dictates the Lay 1/2002, of February 12 of coordination of the competence of the State and the Autonomous Communities as for defense of competition, like of the own authorities that bet for the synergy with instruments of cooperation so efficient as the «Network of Cooperation of the Competent Organs as for Competition».
