Opinion of the Advisory Committee on mergers given at its meeting of 11 April 2018 regarding a draft decision relating to Case M.7993 — Altice/PT Portugal (Article 14(2) procedure)
Rapporteur: France
(2018/C 315/05)

1.   

The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the Commission’s assessment that the Transaction Agreement concluded between Altice and Oi went beyond what was necessary to preserve the value of the Target’s business and gave Altice the possibility to exercise decisive influence over the Target pending notification and the clearance decision of the Commission.



2.   

The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission’s assessment that in the instances described in the Decision (i.e. the Post-Paid Campaign, the Porto Canal contract, the selection of a RAN supplier, the Video on Demand contract, the DOG TV contract, the SIRESP shares and the Lactogal contract) Altice went beyond what was necessary to preserve the value of the Target’s business and exercised decisive influence over the Target pending notification and/or the clearance decision of the Commission, as appropriate.



3.   

The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission’s assessment that the exchanges of commercially sensitive information contributed to Altice’s exercise of decisive influence over certain conducts pertaining to the Target pending notification and the clearance decision of the Commission and cannot be justified on the basis of the need to preserve the value of the Target’s business.



4.   

The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission’s assessment that Altice has at least negligently infringed Article 4(1) of the Merger Regulation (1).



5.   

The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that Altice has at least negligently infringed Article 7(1) of the Merger Regulation.



6.   

The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that Altice should be fined pursuant to Article 14(2)(a) and Article 14(2)(b) of the Merger Regulation.



7.   

The Advisory Committee recommends the publication of its opinion in the Official Journal of the European Union.
