THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Regulation No 19/65/EEC of the Council of 2 March 1965 on the application of Article 85(3) of the Treaty to certain categories of agreements and concerted practices (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,


After consulting the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions that delivered its opinion prior to the adoption of Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/720 (2),

Whereas:

The Czech language version of Regulation (EU) 2022/720 contains errors in Article 1(1), points (d), (i) and (k), that narrow the meaning of the terms defined in those provisions.












(2)


The Czech language version of Regulation (EU) 2022/720 should therefore be corrected accordingly. The other language versions are not affected,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1
