The committee consists of the chairman and 10 commissioners, out of which there are two first deputies and three other deputies. The activities of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine are under the control of the president of Ukraine; The committee is accountable to the Supreme Council of Ukraine. The president in consent with the Supreme Council of Ukraine designates and dismisses from the appointment the chairman of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine. First deputies and deputies of the chairman of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine are to be designated and dismissed from their appointments by the president of Ukraine on the proposal of the prime minister. The proposal is made on the grounds of the suggestions of the chairman of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine.

In every region of Ukraine, including the cities of Kyiv and Sevastopol, territorial offices of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine are to be created. The above-mentioned offices are legal entities which carry out the tasks of the Antimonopoly Committee on the regional level.

Within the framework of its procuration the committee supervises the activities of enterprises of all types of ownership, state and local authorities, activities of foreign entrepreneurs in Ukraine as well. The committee is entitled to make decisions concerning abatement of the competition legislation breach, which are obligatory for enterprises and state authorities, to allow or prohibit concerted actions in the market, to impose fines or apply other sanctions with respect to the breakers of the rules of fair competition.
