随untitled着peng_kate过去的近2、3年中国反垄断执法机构对于横向垄断协议的规制力度逐渐加大，主动申请宽大的企业日益增多。为加强对经营者的鼓励和指导，提高执法机构发现并查处垄断协议行为的效率，国务院反垄断委员会委托国家发展改革委员会价格监督检查与反垄断局（以下简称“发改委”）于2015年中开始起草宽大制度适用指南。2016年2月2日，发改委在其官方网站发布了《横向垄断协议案件宽大制度适用指南》（征求意见稿）（以下称《指南征求意见稿》），面向社会公开征求意见。

众所周知，申请宽大的顺位越靠前，就越能获得更大程度的处罚减免。但是，很多人还不了解的是，申请宽大的顺位并不仅仅与“自首”的时间相关，还有一项不可忽视的要素是重要证据的提供。在《反垄断法》有关宽大政策的规定（第46条第2款）中， “报告达成垄断协议的有关情况”和“提供重要证据”并列为获得处罚减免的两个要件，缺一不可。

破liuyanling产重整，实践中也称之为司法重组、法庭内重组、破产保护，是在人民法院主导下进行的企业重组活动，是《企业破产法》规定的三种程序之一。与破产清算程序不同，破产重整程序旨在帮助限于困境的企业脱离困境、实现重生。自《企业破产法》于2007年6月1日实施以来，沪深两市已有49家上市公司实施了破产重整，其中47家已完成重整。此外，部分从沪深两家交易所退市的公司也实施了破产重整。从实践来看，破产重整的上市公司或者退市公司多数具有债务负担沉重、持续经营能力较弱、盈利能力较差的特点。从结果来看，破产重整程序确实起到了拯救困难企业的积极作用。长航凤凰（SZ，000520）、长航油运5（400061）是近年来通过破产重整程序实现企业脱困复兴的典型案例。

破产重整作为在人民法院主导下进行的企业重组活动，具有司法程序的属性，人民法院是程序的主导者、监管者。上市公司破产重整程序也不例外。由于实施破产重整的企业是上市公司，而上市公司属于证券监管的范畴，故上市公司破产重整程序涉及到司法与行政、人民法院与证券监管部门的衔接和协作问题。随着上市公司破产重整案例的不断增多，证券监管部门遇到了不少涉及破产重整的新问题、新情况。

融资租赁公司为收回租金，经常面临一些共性的疑难问题，择其要者，解析如下：

1、能否在一个案件中同时诉请收回全部租金和取回租赁物？

《合同法》第二百四十八条规定：“承租人应当按照约定支付租金。承租人经催告后在合理期限内仍不支付租金的，出租人可以要求支付全部租金；也可以解除合同，收回租赁物。”在该规定中，立法所使用的“可以……也可以”的表述，其含义是选择适用的还是可同时适用的，实践中不无争议。为了统一司法尺度，最高法院《融资租赁司法解释》（下称“《解释》”）第二十一条规定：“出租人既请求承租人支付合同约定的全部未付租金又请求解除融资租赁合同的，人民法院应告知其依照合同法第二百四十八条的规定作出选择。”不难看出，该条规定在融资租赁公司所享有的收回全部租金与取回租赁物的两项权利上，坚持的是选择行使的立场。
