   Înalta Curte de Casaţie şi Justiţie
   
      Parties to the main proceedings
   
   
      Applicant: ING Pensii, Societate de Administrare a unui Fond de Pensii Administrat Privat SA
   
      Defendant: Consiliul Concurenței
   
      Operative part of the judgment
   
   Article 101(1) TFEU must be interpreted as meaning that agreements to share clients, such as those concluded between the private pensions funds in the main proceedings, constitute agreements with an anti-competitive object, the number of clients affected by such an agreement being irrelevant for the purpose of assessing the requirement relating to the restriction of competition within the internal market.
