(Text with EEA relevance)

The draft Decision gives rise to the following observations regarding the right to be heard:

The proceedings in this case took a normal course both in its written and its oral phase. The Statement of
Objections, adopted by the Commission on 1 June 2001, was sent to La Poste, the only undertaking
concerned, on 6 June 2001. The latter was granted access to the Commission’s file on 12 June 2001. La
Poste responded to the Statement of Objections on 12 July 2001, after the initial time limit of one month
which expired on 6 July had been extended by six days.

The complainant HAYS received non-confidential versions of the Commission’s Statement of Objections
and of the response submitted by La Poste. HAYS commented on both in writing before the Oral Hearing.
The Oral Hearing was held on 24 July 2001. Both La Poste and HAYS presented their arguments. Requests
of a procedural nature were tabled neither during nor after the meeting.

It follows from the above observations that the rights of defence have been fully respected. The same is
true of the complainant’s right to be heard. The draft Decision deals only with objections in respect of
which La Poste has been afforded the opportunities of making known its views.
