ciated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of
fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for
Community vessels, in waters where limitations in catch

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 22 November 2000, the Commission received from Modern Times Group AB (MTG) and
Nordiska Satellitaktiebolaget (NSAB) a notification pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation No 17
of the agreements by which the parties lay down the conditions under which the parties will effect the
one-time transfer of MTG’s existing analogue satellite broadcasting operations in the Nordic region to
digital satellite broadcasting operations from NSAB’s satellites. According to the parties’ arrangement NSAB
will be the exclusive provider of satellite transponder capacity for digital transmission of television signals
to MTG for a five-year period until 15 April 2005. However, if NSAB is unable to deliver capacity at
competitive rates to MTG, MTG is at liberty to lease capacity from another supplier. On the other hand,
during the same period there are certain restrictions on NSAB’s abilities to lease transponder capacity to
the digital transmission of advertising-funded general entertainment non-encrypted television channels
except for certain identified television channels.

Upon preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified cooperation agreements could
