Kyrgyzstan does not have a large judicial practice related to the breach of antimonopoly laws though the Department (as well as its predecessor, the Antimonopoly Agency), is quite active in applying administrative measures. In practice, the Department mostly deals with the issues of consumer rights protection, advertising and pricing policy. For instance, during the first half of 2011 the Department detected 114 violations, 84 of which were eliminated voluntarily; out of 28 prescriptions 25 were fulfilled. With regard to breach of consumer protection laws, the Department imposed 1.2 million KGS sanctions on infringers.
