( 3 ) A NUMBER OF COMPANIES HAVE LEFT TRANSOCEAN . IN PARTICULAR, THE ASSOCIATION NOW HAS NO MEMBER IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR IN THE UNITED KINGDOM . THE TOTAL SALES OF THE MEMBERS AND AFFILIATES OF TRANSOCEAN HAVE DECREASED FROM 15 MILLION LITRES IN 1978 TO 8 MILLION LITRES IN 1986 . TOTAL SALES OF THE MEMBERS AND AFFILIATES REPRESENT SOME (. . .) ( 1 ) OF THE WORLD MARKET .
INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS' MARKET SHARES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY RANGE FROM A NEGLIGIBLE PERCENTAGE IN SOME COUNTRIES TO (. . .) IN OTHERS . THE COMBINED MARKET SHARE OF THE ASSOCIATION THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY IS CURRENTLY LESS THAN (. . .). THE STRUCTURE OF THE MARKET HAS NOT CHANGED RADICALLY SINCE THE LAST DECISION RENEWING THE EXEMPTION IN 1979 . THE MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION THAT REMAIN HAVE MORE OR LESS THE SAME MARKET SHARE AS IN 1979 . THE COMPETITIVE STRUCTURE OF INDUSTRY HAS REMAINED SIMILAR WITH THE EFFECTS OF STAGNATION STILL BEING FELT THROUGHOUT THE INDUSTRY .
( 4 ) TRANSOCEAN'S MAIN COMPETITORS ARE INTERNATIONAL MARINE COATINGS, HEMPEL, JOTUN, SIGMA COATINGS, CHOGOKA AND BERGER PAINTS . THESE COMPETITORS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN TRANSOCEAN BOTH IN AGGREGATE TERMS AND ON INDIVIDUAL MARKETS .
( 5 ) THE PRESENT REQUEST FOR THE EXTENSION OF THE EXEMPTION FIRST GRANTED BY DECISION 67/454/EEC PERTAINS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND THREE SUPPLEMENTARY AGREEMENTS AS AMENDED IN 1987 . THE GENERAL SCHEME OF THE ASSOCIATION REMAINS AS DESCRIBED IN THE ABOVEMENTIONED DECISION .
( 6 ) THE MODIFICATIONS OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND OF THE THREE SUPPLEMENTARY AGREEMENTS SEEK MAINLY TO IMPROVE THE PROTECTION OF THE TRADE MARKS AND THE KNOW-HOW OF TRANSOCEAN . UNDER THE NEW ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION TRADE MARKS SHALL BE REGISTERED BY THE CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE OF THE ASSOCIATION AND EACH MEMBER AND AFFILIATE WILL BE GRANTED A LICENCE ACCORDING TO A STANDARD FORM ( ARTICLE 9 ( 1 )). THE TRADE MARKS SHALL BE THE PROPERTY OF THE ASSOCIATION ( ARTICLE 9 ( 3 )). PROSECUTION OF INFRINGEMENTS OF THE TRADE MARKS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH MEMBER OR AFFILIATE IN THE COUNTRY ALLOCATED TO HIM ( ARTICLE 9 ( 4 )). THE NATURE OF THE TERRITORIAL EXCLUSIVITY CONFERRED UPON EACH MEMBER OR AFFILIATE IS NOW EXPRESSLY DEFINED TO PROHIBIT ACTIVE SALES CANVASSING OUTSIDE ALLOCATED TERRITORIES ( ARTICLE 5 ( 1 )). PASSIVE SALES ARE NOT PROHIBITED .
THE OLD ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION PROVIDED FOR THE PAYMENT OF A COMMISSION WHEN A MEMBER SUPPLIED SERVICES FOR ANOTHER MEMBER . THIS COMMISSION HAS NOW BEEN ELIMINATED .
( 7 ) OTHER CHANGES TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION HAVED BEEN MADE BUT ARE PURELY OF A STYLISTIC NATURE . THE FORMER ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND BY-LAWS HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED INTO A SINGLE DOCUMENT IN ORDER TO OBVIATE REPETITION .
APART FROM THE CHANGES OUTLINED, THE SUBSTANCE OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION REMAINS UNCHANGED .
( 8 ) THREE SUPPLEMENTARY AGREEMENTS ARE ALSO NOTIFIED . THESE ARE THE MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT, THE AFFILIATION AGREEMENT AND THE LICENCE AGREEMENT . THESE AGREEMENTS ARE ALL NEW AND DEFINE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRANSOCEAN AND ITS MEMBERS AND AFFILIATES AND BETWEEN THE MEMBERS AND AFFILIATES INTER SE .
( 9 ) THE MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT DEFINES THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF EACH MEMBER IN RELATION TO TRANSOCEAN . THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT CORRESPOND TO THE TERMS OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION . THE MEMBER IS GRANTED THE RIGHT TO MANUFACTURE THE PRODUCTS, TO USE THE KNOW-HOW AND THE TRADE MARKS BUT ONLY IN RELATION TO THE PRODUCTS AS DEFINED ( ARTICLE 2 ). ACTIVE SALES CANVASSING OUTSIDE EACH MEMBER'S TERRITORY IS FORBIDDEN ( ARTICLE 3 ) WITH EACH MEMBER BEING GIVEN TERRITORIAL EXCLUSIVITY . IF A MEMBER MAKES IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PRODUCTS HE MUST INFORM TRANSOCEAN AND IF SUCH IMPROVEMENTS CANNOT BE USED INDEPENDENTLY OF THE
KNOW-HOW OR PATENTS TRANSOCEAN SHALL MAKE THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO ALL THE MEMBERS AND AFFILIATES FREE OF CHARGE ( ARTICLE 5 ). IF THE IMPROVEMENT CAN BE USED INDEPENDENTLY, THEN THE MEMBER MUST OFFER IT TO TRANSOCEAN AND ITS MEMBERS ON A LICENCE BASIS AT AN AGREED ROYALTY FOR A REASONABLE PERIOD ( ARTICLE 5 ). EACH MEMBER UNDERTAKES TO KEEP ALL KNOW-HOW SECRET, EVEN AFTER THE EXPIRY OF THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT ( ARTICLE 6 ). TRANSOCEAN IS PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REGISTRATION OF TRADE MARKS AND EACH MEMBER SHALL REGISTER AS A USER IN HIS RESPECTIVE TERRITORY ( ARTICLE 7 ). EACH MEMBER SHALL TAKE STEPS TO PREVENT INFRINGEMENT OF KNOW-HOW AND TRADE MARKS AND SHALL PROCEED AGAINST THE INFRINGER IN HIS TERRITORY AT HIS OWN COST . SHOULD HE FAIL TO DO SO TRANSOCEAN SHALL PROCEED AGAINST THE INFRINGER AT THE COST OF THE MEMBER ( ARTICLE 8 ). THE TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR DISPOSAL OF THE RIGHTS OF THE MEMBER IS FORBIDDEN EXCEPT IN THE EVENT OF CONCLUDING THE STANDARD LICENCE AGREEMENT WITH AN AFFILIATE AS DESCRIBED BELOW . IN ANY EVENT, THE RIGHT TO ENTER INTO THE LICENCE AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY TRANSOCEAN ( ARTICLE 9 ). A NEW MEMBER IS REQUIRED TO PAY AN ADMISSION FEE TO COVER COSTS INCURRED BY TRANSOCEAN IN THE PREPARATION OF HIS
MEMBERSHIP ( ARTICLE 10 ). AN ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION IS TO BE PAID BY EACH MEMBER ( ARTICLE 11 ). EACH MEMBER SHALL PAY TO TRANSOCEAN A SINGLE NON-RECURRING ROYALTY AS REIMBURSEMENT FOR EXPENSES INCURRED IN RELATION TO THE ACQUISITION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE KNOW-HOW ( ARTICLE 12 ). THE MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATES WHEN THE MEMBER CEASES TO BE A MEMBER OF TRANSOCEAN ( ARTICLE 13 ). UPON TERMINATION THE MEMBER SHALL CEASE TO HAVE ANY RIGHTS TO USE THE TRADE MARKS AND KNOW-HOW ( ARTICLE 14 ).
( 10 ) THE AFFILIATION AGREEMENT SETS OUT THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF AFFILIATES . THE STATUS OF AN AFFILIATE IS DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF A MEMBER IN THAT THE FORMER CANNOT TRANSFER, ASSIGN OR SUBLICENCE HIS RIGHTS UNDER THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION ( ARTICLE 4 ) AND PAYS NO MEMBERSHIP FEE BUT AN ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION TO TRANSOCEAN ( ARTICLE 7 ). IN OTHER RESPECTS THE AFFILIATION AGREEMENT IS MATERIALLY SIMILAR TO THE MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT REFERRED TO ABOVE . A FURTHER DIFFERENCE IN THE STATUS OF THE AFFILIATE IS THAT HE MUST CONCLUDE A LICENCE AGREEMENT AS NOTIFIED .
( 11 ) THE LICENCE AGREEMENT IS THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE AFFILIATE ON THE ONE PART AND TRANSOCEAN AND THE MEMBER ON THE OTHER, BY WHICH THE KNOW-HOW AND TRADE MARKS ARE TRANSFERRED FROM THE LATTER TO THE FORMER . THE LICENCE AGREEMENT IS SIMILAR IN ALL MATERIAL RESPECTS TO THE MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT EXCEPT THAT THE AFFILIATE SHALL PAY TO THE MEMBER CONCLUDING THE LICENCE A ROYALTY AT THE END OF EACH QUARTER ON THE NET SALES VALUE OF ALL PRODUCTS SOLD BY THE AFFILIATE ( ARTICLE 7 ).
( 12 ) THIRD PARTIES HAVE MADE NO OBJECTIONS SUBSEQUENT TO THE PUBLICATION MADE UNDER ARTICLE 19 ( 3 ) OF REGULATION NO 17 .
II . LEGAL ASSESSMENT
( 13 ) THE AGREEMENTS NOTIFIED HAVE TO CONSIDERED AS A WHOLE AND NOT SEPARATELY . THEY ARE AGREEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF ARTICLE 85 ( 1 ). THEY ARE RESTRICTIVE OF COMPETITION WITHIN THE MEANING OF THAT ARTICLE IN THAT THEY ARE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL COMPETITORS . THEY OBLIGE THE MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION TO CONCENTRATE THEIR EFFORTS IN THE FIELD OF PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION WITHIN THE ALLOTED TERRITORY AND LIMIT THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPANDING THEIR ACTIVITIES ACTIVELY TO TERRITORIES ALLOCATED TO OTHER MEMBERS . THE MEMBERS ARE ALSO PRECLUDED FROM JOINING A SIMILAR ORGANIZATION RELATING TO MARINE PAINTS . AS THERE ARE SEVERAL MEMBERS FROM WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THE AGREEMENTS ARE LIKELY TO AFFECT TRADE BETWEEN MEMBER STATES .
( 14 ) THE EXEMPTION GIVEN BY THE COMMUNITY CAN BE EXTENDED, PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 8 ( 2 ) OF REGULATION NO 17, AS THE REQUIREMENTS OF ARTICLE 85 ( 3 ) ARE STILL SATISFIED . THE POOLING AND COORDINATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS OF MEMBER FIRMS IS A SUITABLE AND INDEED NECESSARY MEANS OF ENRICHING THE RANGE OF GOODS ON OFFER, IMPROVING SALES STRUCTURES IN THE MARINE PAINT INDUSTRY AND PROMOTING INTENSIVE COMPETITION WITH THE MAJOR MARINE PAINT MANUFACTURERS . THE EXISTENCE OVER THE YEARS OF THE SALES AND SERVICE NETWORK FOR TRANSOCEAN PAINTS HAS INCREASED THE AVAILABILITY OF THE PRODUCTS, WITH A RESULTANT BENEFIT TO CONSUMERS .
( 15 ) THE RESTRICTIONS OF COMPETITION RESULTING FROM THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE TRANSOCEAN ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION, MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT, AFFILIATION AGREEMENT AND LICENCE AGREEMENT ARE INDISPENSABLE FOR THE ATTAINMENT OF THESE OBJECTIVES . THE TERRITORIAL PROTECTION STIPULATED IS NOT ABSOLUTE, FOR PASSIVE SALES OUTSIDE THE ALLOTTED TERRITORY ARE PERMITTED; NO COMMISSION IS PAYABLE IN THE EVENT OF A SALE OUTSIDE THE TERRITORY OF A MEMBER OR AFFILIATE . THE ADMISSION FEE, ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION AND NON-RECURRING ROYALTY PAYMENTS BY A MEMBER TO TRANSOCEAN REIMBURSE THE LATTER FOR THE EXPENSES INCURRED IN THE RUNNING OF THE ASSOCIATION AND IN THE ACQUISITION AND MAINTENANCE OF KNOW-HOW . THE STIPULATIONS ON IMPROVEMENTS ARE ALSO
INDISPENSABLE TO THE UNIFORM APPLICATION OF ADVANCES MADE IN THE FIELD OF MARINE PAINT THROUGHOUT TRANSOCEAN .
( 16 ) A SHARE OF LESS THAN (. . .) OF A MARKET IN WHICH THERE ARE LARGER AND MORE POWERFUL SUPPLIERS OF SIMILAR PRODUCTS DOES NOT GIVE THE POWER TO ELIMINATE COMPETITION IN RESPECT OF A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF THE RELEVANT GOODS .
( 17 ) EXPERIENCE OF THE APPLICATION OF COMMISSION DECISION 80/184/EEC HAS SHOWN THAT THE OBLIGATIONS IMPOSED THEREIN ARE APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO ENABLE THE COMMISSION TO ASSESS THE EFFECTS OF COOPERATION BETWEEN TRANSOCEAN MEMBERS IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING MARKET FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH THE RULES ON COMPETITION IN THE TREATY .
( 18 ) THE DECLARATION OF EXEMPTION SHOULD ACCORDINGLY BE RENEWED FOR 11 YEARS TO 31 DECEMBER 1998 AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF DECISION 80/184/EEC SHOULD AGAIN BE ATTACHED,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION :
ARTICLE 1
THE DECLARATION OF EXEMPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 85 ( 3 ) OF THE EEC TREATY, WHICH THE COMMISSION ISSUED BY DECISIONS 67/454/EEC, 74/16/EEC AND 80/184/EEC CONCERNING THE AGREEMENT OF 1 JANUARY 1959 ESTABLISHING THE TRANSOCEAN MARINE PAINT ASSOCIATION, IS HEREBY RENEWED FROM 1 JANUARY 1988 TO 31 DECEMBER 1998 IN RESPECT OF THE VERSION AMENDED MOST RECENTLY IN 1987 .
ARTICLE 2
THIS DECISION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING OBLIGATIONS :
1 . THE COMMISSION SHALL BE INFORMED WITHOUT DELAY OF THE FOLLOWING MATTERS :

( C ) ANY CHANGE IN THE COMPOSITION OF MEMBERSHIP;
( D ) ANY LINK AND ANY CHANGES IN SUCH LINKS, PRESENT OR FUTURE, CONSTITUED BY MEANS OF A FINANCIAL PARTICIPATION AMOUNTING TO 25 % OR MORE OF THE SHARE CAPITAL OR BY WAY OF COMMON DIRECTORS OR MANAGERS :

( BB ) BETWEEN A MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION AND ANOTHER ENTERPRISE IN THE PAINT SECTOR, PROVIDED THAT SUCH NON-MEMBER CARRIES ON BUSINESS DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY IN THE PAINT SECTOR, THAT IS TO SAY UNDERTAKES BUSINESS IN ONE OR MORE MEMBER STATES DIRECTLY OR THROUGH A SUBSIDIARY UNDERTAKING OR BY MEANS OF A JOINT VENTURE .
2 . A REPORT SHALL BE SUBMITTED BY THE ASSOCIATION ANNUALLY TO THE COMMISSION ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE ASSOCIATION AND IN PARTICULAR ON IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PRODUCTION AND MARKETING OF MARINE PAINT PRODUCTS ACHIEVED .
