Når en sag er henvist til de nationale myndigheder, bør disse derfor anvende de retsregler, der er fastlagt i Fællesskabets fusionskontrolsystem, og træffe beslutninger, der ligger på linje med dem, der ville være truffet, hvis forordningen havde fundet anvendelse.
Hence, even when a case is referred to the national authorities, they should use the same criteria for judgment as those laid down in the Community system for the control of concentrations and reach decisions which are not dissimilar to those which would have been reached if the Regulation had been applied.
Dominansbegrebet bør defineres på en sådan måde, at det afspejler en situation, hvor en eller flere virksomheder er i besiddelse af betydelig økonomisk styrke, uanset hvilke strukturer der karakteriserer de relevante markeder, som berøres af fusionen, og uanset på hvilken måde den økonomiske styrke kommer til udtryk eller udøves .
Irrespective of the structure of the relevant markets affected by a concentration or of the manner in which economic power is manifested or exercised, dominance should be defined in such a way as to reflect a considerable level of economic power held by one or more undertakings.
(20) Denne forordning bør fastslå princippet om, at en fusion med fællesskabsdimension, som skaber eller styrker en dominerende stilling, der bevirker, at den effektive konkurrence hæmmes betydeligt i fællesmarkedet eller en væsentlig del heraf, skal erklæres uforenelig med fællesmarkedet.
(20) This Regulation must establish the principle that a concentration with a Community dimension which creates or strengthens a dominant position as a result of which effective competition in the common market or in a substantial part of it is significantly impeded is to be declared incompatible with the common market.
En ændring af definitionerne skaber usikkerhed og kan gøre en del af Domstolens retspraksis virkningsløs og resultere i en strengere fusionskontrolordning.
Changing the definitions creates uncertainties, risks nullifying part of the Court of Justice's case law and may even lead to a harsher system of merger control.
Endvidere er det overflødigt at foretage en ændring, idet Domstolen anerkender dominansbegrebets nyttige virkning.
It is also superfluous, in that the Court of Justice has not deprived the concept of dominant position of its actual effect.
Mange oligopolistiske markeder udviser en sund grad af konkurrence.
Many oligopolistic markets exhibit a healthy degree of competition.
Under visse omstændigheder kan elimineringen af et betydeligt konkurrencepres, som bestod mellem fusionsparterne, såvel som svækkelsen af det konkurrencepres, der hviler på de resterende konkurrenter, i særdeleshed på disse markeder imidlertid virke til skade for konkurrencen, medmindre disse virkninger kan modvirkes af konkurrenter, kunder eller forbrugere.
However, under certain circumstances, the elimination of important competitive constraints that the merging parties exerted on each other, as well as the reduction of competitive pressure on the remaining competitors, may, particularly in these markets, be detrimental to competition unless these effects would be constrained by the reaction of competitors, customers or consumers.
Dominansbegrebet i denne forordnings forstand bør derfor omfatte situationer, hvor en eller flere virksomheder på grund af det relevante markeds oligopolistiske struktur og den deraf følgende indbyrdes afhængighed mellem de forskellige virksomheder, der er aktive på dette marked, vil have økonomisk styrke til mærkbart og vedvarende at påvirke konkurrenceparametrene, navnlig priser, produktion, produktionskvalitet, distribution eller innovation, også selv om der ikke foregår nogen samordning mellem medlemmerne af oligopolet.
For that purpose, the notion of dominance within the meaning of this Regulation should, therefore, encompass situations in which, because of the oligopolistic structure of the relevant market and the resulting interdependence of the various undertakings active on that market, one or more undertakings would hold the economic power to influence appreciably and sustainably the parameters of competition, in particular, prices, production, quality of output, distribution or innovation, even without coordination by the members of the oligopoly.
Ved vurderingen heraf bør der tages hensyn til de særlige træk ved de pågældende markeder, herunder omfanget af kapacitetsproblemer, graden af produktdifferentiering eller udbudsprocessens effektivitet.
In making this appraisal, account should be taken of the specific features of the markets under examination, such as the level of capacity constraints, the degree of product differentiation, or the functioning of the bidding process.
Der bør desuden tages hensyn til nuværende og potentielle konkurrenters såvel som kundernes sandsynlige reaktioner samt til eventuelle effektivitetsgevinster som følge af fusionen.
Consideration should also be given to, inter alia, the likely reactions of actual and potential competitors, as well as of customers, and any efficiencies brought about by the merger.
Et af målene med revisionen af forordningen er at styrke retssikkerheden.
One of the purposes of this revision of the regulation is to increase legal certainty.
Udvidelsen af begrebet "økonomisk dominerende stilling" som foreslået af Kommissionen fører efter ordførerens mening snarere til det modsatte.
However, the draftsman considers that if the concept of the ‘dominant position’ is broadened in the way proposed by the Commission, this is more likely to have the opposite effect.
Enhver fusion, der medfører et vist forspring i forhold til konkurrenterne, vil blive omfattet af den nye definition.
Any merger which confers a certain advantage over competitors would fall within the new definition.
Praksis er imidlertid baseret på den nuværende definition, som der er en omfattende retspraksis for.
All parties concerned are used to applying the existing definition, on which ample case law now exists.
Ændring af definitionen medfører uklarhed og unødig retsusikkerhed.
A change in the definition, clearly inspired by a desire to move towards the American SLC test, would obscure the situation and lead to unnecessary legal uncertainty.
Desuden er der fare for, at dynamikken tages ud af markedet, hvis der gribes ind i fusionsprocesserne i langt højere grad, end det er tilfældet i dag.
Moreover, there is a danger that the dynamism of the market may be impaired if concentration processes are interfered with on a far bigger scale than at present.
Ordføreren mener derfor, at det er bedre ikke at udvide definitionen af begrebet "økonomisk dominerende stilling" på den af Kommissionen foreslåede måde.
The draftsman accordingly believes that it would be better not to expand the definition of ‘dominance’ in the way proposed by the Commission.

Amendment 4 Recital 27
(27) Det bør pålægges Kommissionen at træffe alle de nødvendige beslutninger for at fastslå, hvorvidt fusioner med fællesskabsdimension er forenelige med fællesmarkedet, samt beslutninger, der har til formål at genoprette den situation, der bestod før gennemførelsen af en fusion, der er erklæret uforenelig med fællesmarkedet.
(27) The Commission should have the task of taking all the decisions necessary to establish whether or not concentrations with a Community dimension are compatible with the common market, as well as decisions designed to restore the situation prevailing prior to the implementation of a concentration which has been declared incompatible with the common market.
(27) Det bør pålægges Kommissionen at træffe alle de nødvendige beslutninger for at fastslå, hvorvidt fusioner med fællesskabsdimension er forenelige med fællesmarkedet, samt beslutninger, der har til formål at genoprette den situation, der bestod før gennemførelsen af en fusion, der er erklæret uforenelig med fællesmarkedet , for så vidt som disse beslutninger er afpasset efter fusionens konkurrencehæmmende virkning .
(27) The Commission should have the task of taking all the decisions necessary to establish whether or not concentrations with a Community dimension are compatible with the common market, as well as decisions designed to restore the situation prevailing prior to the implementation of a concentration which has been declared incompatible with the common market , provided that such decisions are proportionate to the anti-competitive effect of the concentration .
For at opnå en rimelig anvendelse af forordningens bestemmelser er det nødvendigt at sikre, at de foranstaltninger, Kommissionen træffer som led i udøvelsen af fusionskontrollen, respekterer princippet om rimelighed i forhold til den konkurrenceskade, der er sket eller vil kunne ske.
In order to implement the provisions of the Regulation fairly, it should be ensured that the merger control measures taken by the Commission respect a principle of reasonableness as regards the seriousness of the damage to competition which has been or may be caused.
(34) For at kunne foretage en korrekt vurdering af fusioner bør Kommissionen have beføjelse til at kræve alle nødvendige oplysninger og gennemføre alle nødvendige kontrolundersøgelser overalt i Fællesskabet.
(34) In order to properly appraise concentrations, the Commission should have the right to request all necessary information and to conduct all necessary inspections throughout the Community.
I dette øjemed og med henblik på en effektiv beskyttelse af konkurrencen bør Kommissionens undersøgelsesbeføjelser udvides.
To that end, and with a view to protecting competition effectively, the Commission’s powers of investigation need to be expanded.
Kommissionen bør blandt andet kunne indhente udtalelse fra enhver person, der kan tænkes at være i besiddelse af nyttige oplysninger, og registrere den pågældende persons udtalelser.
The Commission should in particular have the right to interview any persons who may be in possession of useful information and to record the statements made.
Under kontrolundersøgelser bør Kommissionens befuldmægtigede repræsentanter kunne foretage forsegling i det tidsrum, der er nødvendigt for kontrolundersøgelsen, normalt i ikke over 72 timer, og kræve alle oplysninger, der har relation til kontrolundersøgelsens genstand og formål.
In the course of an inspection, officials authorised by the Commission should have the right to affix seals for the period of time necessary for the inspection, normally not for more than 72 hours, and to ask for any information relevant to the subject matter and purpose of the inspection.
Det er desuden hensigtsmæssigt under hensyntagen til EF-Domstolens retspraksis at præcisere, hvilke prøvelsesbeføjelser de nationale domstole har, når de i henhold til national ret og som en sikkerhedsforanstaltning anmodes om tilladelse til, at politiet kan tilkaldes, såfremt en virksomhed modsætter sig en kontrolundersøgelse, der er påbudt ved en kommissionsbeslutning; ifølge EF-Domstolens retspraksis kan de nationale domstole i særdeleshed afkræve Kommissionen de yderligere oplysninger, de måtte have behov for for at kunne udøve deres kontrol, i mangel af hvilke de kunne nægte at give tilladelse; retspraksis har desuden fastslået, at de nationale domstole kan føre kontrol med overholdelsen af de nationale regler om iværksættelse af tvangsforanstaltninger.
Without prejudice to the case-law of the Court of Justice, it is also useful to set out the scope of the control that the national judicial authority may exercise when it authorises, as provided by national law and as a precautionary measure, assistance from law enforcement authorities in order to overcome possible opposition on the part of the undertaking against an inspection ordered by Commission decision; it results from the case-law that the national judicial authority may in particular ask of the Commission further information which it needs to carry out its control and in the absence of which it could refuse the authorisation; the case-law also confirms the competence of the national courts to control the application of national rules governing the implementation of coercive measures.
Medlemsstaternes kompetente myndigheder bør samarbejde aktivt under Kommissionens udøvelse af sine undersøgelsesbeføjelser.
The competent authorities of the Member States should cooperate actively in the exercise of the Commission’s investigative powers.
Meddelelser mellem virksomheder og virksomhedssammenslutninger og eksterne og interne juridiske konsulenter, som indeholder, eller hvori der anmodes om juridisk rådgivning, er fritaget for oplysningspligt, hvis den juridiske konsulent er fuldt kvalificeret og underlagt de relevante regler for faglig etik og disciplin, som i almenhedens interesse fastsættes og håndhæves af den faglige organisation, som den juridiske konsulent er medlem af.
However, communications between undertakings and associations of undertakings and outside or in-house counsel containing or seeking legal advice shall be privileged, provided that the legal counsel is properly qualified and is subject to adequate rules of professional ethics and discipline which are laid down and enforced in the general interest by the professional association to which the legal counsel belongs.
Kommissionen kan anmode enhver repræsentant for virksomheden eller sammenslutningen af virksomheder om at redegøre for faktiske forhold eller dokumenter i forbindelse med sagen og kontrollens formål samt registrere svarene, hvis den pågældende på forhånd er blevet oplyst om sin ret til at nægte at udtale sig og til at kræve tilstedeværelse af en advokat.
The Commission can ask any representative of the undertaking or association of undertakings for explanations on facts or documents relating to the subject matter and purpose of the inspection and to record the answers provided that they have been informed that they are not obliged to provide an answer and that they can have a lawyer present.
Der skal sikres fair behandling, og forsvarets rettigheder skal garanteres.
Fairness and due process should be ensured and the rights of the defence must be guaranteed.
Hvis den eksterne eller interne juridiske konsulent er fuldt kvalificeret og opfylder relevante regler for faglig etik og disciplin, skal hans juridiske rådgivning være undtaget fra oplysningspligt.
When the outside or in-house counsel is properly qualified and complies with adequate rules of professional ethics and discipline, his valuable legal advice should be privileged.
Når virksomhedsledelser konsulterer deres eksterne og interne advokater, skal de kunne stole på disses tavshedspligt, og de skal ikke afskrækkes fra at konsultere dem på grund af risiko for, at fortrolige overvejelser kan blive afsløret.
When consulting their own outside or in-house lawyers, executives must be able to rely on their counsel's professional secrecy and should not be discouraged from consulting them because confidential deliberations risk being disclosed.
Udspørgning af hele personalet kan udsætte dette for et uforholdsmæssigt pres, og derfor bør kun udpegede repræsentanter udspørges.
Questioning all members of staff can put these employees under disproportionate pressure and therefore only designated representatives should be questioned.

Amendment 6 Recital 35
(35) Når deltagende virksomheder og personer efterkommer beslutninger truffet af Kommissionen, kan de ikke tvinges til at indrømme, at de har begået overtrædelser, men de har under alle omstændigheder pligt til at besvare faktuelle spørgsmål og udlevere dokumenter, selv om disse oplysninger kan bruges mod dem selv eller andre til at bevise, at der foreligger sådanne overtrædelser .
(35) When complying with decisions of the Commission, the undertakings and persons concerned cannot be forced to admit that they have committed infringements , but they are in any event obliged to answer factual questions and to provide documents, even if this information may be used to establish against themselves or against others the existence of such infringements.
(35) Når deltagende virksomheder og personer efterkommer beslutninger truffet af Kommissionen, kan de ikke tvinges til at indrømme, at de har begået overtrædelser .
(35) When complying with decisions of the Commission, the undertakings and persons concerned cannot be forced to admit that they have committed infringements .
D e har ikke pligt til at besvare faktuelle spørgsmål og udlevere dokumenter, hvis disse oplysninger kan bruges mod dem selv eller andre til at bevise, at der foreligger sådanne overtrædelser.
They are not obliged to answer factual questions and to provide documents if this information may be used to establish against themselves or against others the existence of such infringements.
Forbuddet mod selvinkriminering er begrænset i det foreliggende forslag til forordning.
As it stands, the proposal for a regulation encroaches upon the principle that no one should be required to incriminate himself.
Retsstatsprincippet kræver imidlertid, at forbuddet mod selvinkriminering anerkendes i fuldt omfang.
Yet the rule of law requires this principle to be fully respected.
Virksomheder skal ikke tvinges til selv at bidrage til at bevise, at de har begået overtrædelser.
Businesses should not be compelled to assist actively in their own conviction of an offence they have committed.
Grænsen for oplysningsretten er retten til ikke at skulle inkriminere sig selv.
The right to require information to be provided is limited by the right to silence.
Synspunkter, der er baseret på rent praktiske hensyn, og som Fællesskabets retsinstanser har anlagt som argument for begrænsning af denne ret i forbindelse med anvendelse af forordningen om konkurrencereglerne (forordning 1/2003), må ikke spille nogen rolle i forbindelse med fusionskontrol, da der her netop ikke er tale om bedre gennemførlighed af konkurrenceforskrifterne, og da der heller ikke er tale om konkurrence- eller kartelovertrædelser.
Considerations purely of practicability, which have been adduced by the European courts as an argument in favour of restricting the right in connection with the application of the cartel procedure regulation (Regulation 1/2003) cannot be allowed to play any part in merger control, because here the concern is not to improve the practical applicability of the procedural provisions relating to cartels and the purpose is not to exact penalties for breaches of the law on competition or cartels.
Ændringsforslag 7 Artikel 2, stk. 2
Amendment 7 Article 2, paragraph 2
Ved anvendelsen af denne forordning anses en eller flere virksomheder at have en dominerende stilling, hvis de med eller uden samordning har en økonomisk styrke, der sætter dem i stand til mærkbart og vedvarende at påvirke konkurrenceparametrene, herunder i særdeleshed priser, produktion, produktionskvalitet, distribution eller innovation, eller i betydeligt omfang afskærme markedet mod konkurrence.
For the purpose of this Regulation, one or more undertakings shall be deemed to be in a dominant position if, with or without coordinating, they hold the economic power to influence appreciably and sustainably the parameters of competition, in particular, prices, production, quality of output, distribution or innovation, or appreciably to foreclose competition.
Udvidelse af begrebet "økonomisk dominerende stilling" som foreslået af Kommissionen fører efter ordførerens mening snarere til det modsatte.
However, the draftsman considers that if the concept of the ‘dominant position’ is broadened in the way proposed by the Commission, this is more likely to have the opposite effect.
To eller flere transaktioner, der indbyrdes betinger hinanden eller er så nært forbundne, at de ud fra deres økonomiske rationale bør behandles som én samlet transaktion , anses at udgøre en og samme fusion, der opstår på datoen for den senest gennemførte transaktion, forudsat at transaktionen som helhed opfylder kriterierne i stk. 1.
Two or more transactions which are conditional on one another or are so closely connected that their economic rationale justifies their treatment as a single transaction shall be deemed to constitute one and the same concentration arising on the date of the last transaction, provided that the transactions taken as a whole satisfy the requirements of paragraph 1.
To eller flere transaktioner, der indbyrdes betinger hinanden, anses at udgøre en og samme fusion, der opstår på datoen for den senest gennemførte transaktion, forudsat at transaktionen som helhed opfylder kriterierne i stk. 1.
Two or more transactions which are conditional on one another shall be deemed to constitute one and the same concentration arising on the date of the last transaction, provided that the transactions taken as a whole satisfy the requirements of paragraph 1.
Den nye formulering udvider fusionskontrollen for meget og øger den retlige usikkerhed for de involverede virksomheder, for hvem der vil være øget risiko for en endnu mere tids- og omkostningskrævende kontrolprocedure.
The new wording extends the control of concentrations excessively, increasing the legal uncertainty for the undertakings involved, since it would increase the risk of control proceedings, which would cost more in terms of time and money.
Ændringsforslag 9 Artikel 4, stk. 4
Amendment 9 Article 4, paragraph 4
Før anmeldelsen af en fusion efter stk. 1, kan de i stk. 2 omhandlede virksomheder eller personer indsende en begrundet erklæring til Kommissionen om, at fusionen får virkninger for konkurrencen på et marked i en medlemsstat, der i enhver henseende fremstår som et særskilt marked, og derfor bør behandles af den pågældende medlemsstat.
Prior to the notification of a concentration within the meaning of paragraph 1, the undertakings or persons referred to in paragraph 2 may inform the Commission, by means of a reasoned submission, that the concentration affects competition in a market within a Member State which presents all the characteristics of a distinct market and should therefore be examined, in whole or in part, by that Member State.
Før anmeldelsen af en fusion efter stk. 1, kan de i stk. 2 omhandlede virksomheder eller personer indsende en begrundet erklæring til Kommissionen om, at fusionen får væsentlige virkninger for konkurrencen på et marked i en medlemsstat, der i enhver henseende fremstår som et særskilt marked, og derfor bør behandles af den pågældende medlemsstat.
Prior to the notification of a concentration within the meaning of paragraph 1, the undertakings or persons referred to in paragraph 2 may inform the Commission, by means of a reasoned submission, that the concentration has significant effects on competition in a market within a Member State which presents all the characteristics of a distinct market and should therefore be examined, in whole or in part, by that Member State.
Kommissionen videresender omgående denne erklæring til alle medlemsstaterne.
The Commission shall transmit this submission to all Member States without delay.
Medlemsstaten skal inden for en frist på 10 arbejdsdage efter modtagelsen af erklæringen tilkendegive, om den indvilliger heri eller ej.
The Member State concerned shall, within 10 working days of receiving the submission, express its agreement or disagreement as regards the request to refer the concentration.
Har medlemsstaten ikke truffet afgørelse herom inden for fristen, anses den for at have indvilliget.
Where the Member State concerned takes no such decision within that period, it shall be deemed to have agreed.
Medlemsstaten skal inden for en frist på 5 arbejdsdage efter modtagelsen af erklæringen tilkendegive, om den indvilliger heri eller ej.
The Member State concerned shall, within 5 working days of receiving the submission, express its agreement or disagreement as regards the request to refer the concentration.
