BT og MCI anførte en række argumenter for at retfærdiggøre disse bestemmelser, men Kommissionen kunne kun indrømme en fritagelse, hvis den fik forsikring om, at enhver bruger i EØS kan få stillet Concerts tjenester til rådighed gennem MCI i stedet for BT på trods af udpegningen af BT som enedistributør, og hvis parterne ændrede den restriktive bestemmmelse vedrørende MCI, sådan at den kun gælder 5 år for så vidt angår EØS-området.
Although a number of argumentswere given by BT and MCI to justify those provisions, an exemption was granted by the Commission only afterassurances had been received that, despite the appointment of BT as exclusive distributor in the EEA, any user inthe EEA could obtain Concert's services through MCI instead of BT, and after the parties had amended thedissuasive provision relating to MCI so that it would last for only five years in so far as the territory of the EEAwas concerned.
Kommissionen lagde i sin vurdering af denne strategiske alliance særlig vægt på den hurtige udvikling på telekommunikationsmarkedet, der skyldes den hastige tilnærmelse mellem telekom munikations- og informationsteknologiområdet og den gradvise liberalisering af telekommunikationsområdet i Fællesskabet.
In its assessment of this strategic alliance, particular attention was paid by the Commission to the evolving natureof the telecommunications market resulting from the rapid convergence of telecommunications and informationtechnology and from the gradual process of liberalization of telecommunications in the Community.
Disse markedskarakteristika gjorde det også vanskeligt at foretage en vurdering af den strategiske alliance, da de præcise teletjenester og tillægstjenester, der er til rådighed på markedet, og deres karakteristika hele tiden ændres hurtigt, og da grænsen mellem disse tjenester og de »basale« tjenester (stemme og data) bliver mere og mere udvisket ')·
This evolvingnature also made the assessment more complicated, as the precise valueadded and enhanced services available inthe market, and their characteristics, are changing rapidly, and the borderline between these services and the'basic' services (voice and data) is fading.'

Olivetti skal desuden hos Digital købe Alpha AXP-komponenter op til bestemte grænser af sit behov for ikke-Intel-platforme eller op til bestemte aftalte grænseværdier. Herudover forpligter Olivetti sig til hos Digital at købe uspecificerede ikke-Alpha AXP-computerpro-dukter for 70 mio. USD inden 30. juni 1994.
346 ANNEX II from Digital USD 70 million worth of unspecified non-Alpha AXP computer system products by 30 June 1994.Digital, for its part, was to continue to purchase from Olivetti Intel-based personal computers (PCs) for its European operations.
Dette teknologiske samarbejde blev oprindeligt fulgt op af to aftaler, ifølge hvilke Digital erhvervede omkring 8 % af Olivettis aktiekapital og fik en proportional repræsentation i Olivettis bestyrelse.
This technological cooperation was originally accompanied by the acquisition by Digital of approximately 8% of Olivetti's share capital and by the proportional representation of Digital on Olivetti's board of directors.
De pågældende aftaler var en del af den transaktion, der var anmeldt til Kommissionen.
The relevant agreements were part of the operation notified to the Commission.
Den 24. august 1994 meddelte Digital, at selskabet havde solgt alle sine ordinære aktier i Olivetti.
On 24 August 1994 Digital announcedthat it had sold on the open market all the shares it owned in the common stock of Olivetti.
Ifølge Digital vil selskabets salg af Olivetti-aktierne ikke influere på det anmeldte teknologiske samarbejde.
According to Digital,its sale of Olivetti shares will not affect the technological cooperation.
Fordelen ved RISC-teknologien er, at databehandlingen finder sted med stor hastighed.
The main asset of RISC technology is high processing speed.
RISC er begyndt at trænge ind på alle segmenter af computermarkedet på grund af, at der er en vedvarende efterspørgsel efter hurtigere og hurtigere maskiner.
RISC has started to penetrate all computer systemmarket segments due to the market's demand for ever-faster machines.
Digitals Alpha AXP betragtes som en af de mest effektive RISC-teknologier.
Digital's Alpha AXP is considered to beone of the most effective RISC technologies.
— Der gives negativattest til Olivettis teknologiske forpligtelse til at anvende Digitals Alpha AXP-teknologi, til Digitals erhvervelse af Olivettis aktier og til Digitals repræsentation i Olivettis bestyrelse.
(i) it gave negative clearance to Olivetti's technological commitment to Alpha AXP, to the acquisition by Digitalof Olivetti's shares and to Digital's representation on Olivetti's board of directors;
— Der indrømmes individuel fritagelse i henhold til EF-traktatens artikel 85, stk. 3, for Olivettis købsforpligtelser.
(ii) it granted an individual exemption under Article 85(3) of the EC Treaty with respect to Olivetti's purchasingcommitments.
Kommissionen konkluderede, at Olivettis teknologiske forpligtelse til at anvende Digitals Alpha AXP hverken havde restriktive virkninger for Olivetti eller for tredjeparter.
The Commission concluded that the technological commitment of Olivetti to Digital's Alpha AXP did not haverestrictive effects either on Olivetti or on third parties.
I betragtning af de særlige omstændigheder i denne sag fastslog den også, at Digitals erhvervelse af minoritetsinteresser i Olivetti og Digitals repræsentation i Olivettis bestyrelse ikke var et middel for Digital — så længe disse forhold gjorde sig gældende — til hverken at tage kontrol over Olivetti eller til at få adgang til strategiske oplysninger, som kunne sætte Digital i stand til at påvirke Olivettis konkurrenceadfærd.
It also decided that, in view of the specific circumstancesin this case, Digital's acquisition of a minority equity interest in Olivetti and Digital's representation on Olivetti'sboard of directors, did not - for as long as they were in force - represent a means for Digital either to take controlof Olivetti, or to have access to strategic information enabling Digital to decide its competitive behaviour accordingly.
Olivettis forpligtelse til i ca. fire år at købe Alpha AXP-teknologibaserede produkter anses derimod for at begrænse Olivettis frihed til at vælge leverandører og for at påvirke konkurrencen mellem Digital og Digitals fremtidige licenstagere af Alpha AXP-teknologi.
Conversely, Olivetti's purchasing commitment for around four years for Alpha AXP technology-based productswas considered to restrict Olivetti's freedom to choose its supplier and to affect competition between Digital andits licensees of Alpha AXP technology.
395 tekniske udvikling, og forbrugerne vil blive sikret en rimelig fordel derved, at der på det europæiske marked vil blive lettere adgang til innovative produkter af høj kvalitet.
However, the Commission took the view that these restrictive effects wereoutweighed by the increased dissemination of Digital's advanced Alpha AXP technology, which in turn wouldfavour the spread of RISC-dedicated software programs, thus promoting technical progress and, through thewider availability on the European market of innovative products of high quality, allowing consumers a fair shareof the resulting benefit.
Ud fra den betragtning at der findes adskillige andre RISC-mikroprocessorer på markedet, som er baseret på forskellige teknologier fra forskellige selskaber eller selskabsgrupper, konkluderede Kommissionen endelig, at disse aftaler ikke udelukkede konkurrencen for en væsentlig del af de pågældende varer.
Finally, since there were several other RISC microprocessors available on the market,based on different technologies developed by various undertakings or groups, the Commission concluded thatthese arrangements did not eliminate competition in respect of a substantial part of the goods concerned.
b) Oprettelse af joint ventureselskaber og andre former for samarbejde
(b) Setting-up of joint ventures and other forms of cooperation
Den 4. maj 1994 modtog Kommissionen, i overensstemmelse med artikel 4 i Rådets forordning nr. 17 '), en anmeldelse af et joint ventureselskab kaldet »Camelot Group plc«, som var blevet dannet med henblik på at opnå en eksklusiv licens på det britiske landslotteri, hvilket rent faktisk skete.
On 4 May, the Commission received a notification, pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation No 17 (EEC),1 ofa joint venture known as 'Camelot Group pic' set up to obtain an exclusive licence to operate the United King- dom national lottery, which it was subsequently successful in obtaining.The activities of the parent companies are as follows:
— GTECH UK Limited og GTECH Corporation: udformning, fremstilling, installering og anvendelse på verdensplan af »on line«-lotterier på vegne af de organisationer, der af de kompetente myndigheder har fået autorisation til at drive lotterispil
GTECH UK Limited and GTECH Corporation: designing, manufacturing, installing and operating onlinelottery systems for government-authorized gaming organizations worldwide;
— De La Rue plc og Thomas De La Rue and Company Limited: højt beskyttet trykkerivirksomhed hed
De La Rue pic and Thomas De La Rue and Company Limited: security printer;
Den 12. december 1994 ·) vedtog Kommissionen en formel beslutning i henhold til EF-traktatens artikel 85 og EØS-aftalens artikel 53 vedrørende en anmeldt transaktion mellem den japanske producent af edb-udstyr og elektronisk udstyr, Fujitsu, og den amerikanske producent af halvledere, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
On 12 December the Commission adopted a formal Decision' under Article 85 of the EC Treaty and Article 53 ofthe EEA Agreement relating to a notified operation between the Japanese manufacturer of computer and electronic devices Fujitsu and the American manufacturer of semiconductors AMD.
Den anmeldte transaktion omfatter primært en aftale om oprettelse af et joint ventureselskab -kaldet Fujitsu AMD Semiconductor - med henblik på fremstilling af bestemte typer ikke-flygtige lagerkredsløb (NVM), nemlig EPROM-kredsløb (»Electrically Programmable Read Only Memories«) og »flash memories« med geometrier på 0,5 mikron eller mindre. Joint ventureselskabets »flash memories« vil repræsentere en ny generation af højteknologiske produkter.
The notified operation consisted mainly of an agreement for the creation of a joint venture, named Fujitsu AMDSemiconductor, for the production of certain types of non-volatile memories (NVMs), namely EPROMs ('electrically programmable read only memories') and flash memories with geometries of 0.5 micron or less.The flashmemories it will produce will represent a new generation of high-technology products.
Joint ventureselskabet indleder sin produktion i januar 1995.
The joint venture willcome on line by January 1995.
Dets produktion vil blive brugt af joint ventureselskabet selv eller af de anmeldende parter til fremstilling af bestemte typer NVM-udstyr (nemlig lagerkredsløbsmoduler og lagerkort).
The joint venture's production will be used by the joint venture or by the parties tomake certain types of NVM device (i.e. memory modules and memory cards).
Der blev endvidere anmeldt fem aftaler i relation til etableringen af joint ventureselskabet nemlig en teknologikrydslicensaftale, en aftale om fælles udvikling, en joint venture-licensaftale og to gensidige investeringsaftaler.
Five agreements relating to the establishment of the joint venture were also notified to the Commission. They are:a technology cross-licence agreement, a joint development agreement, a joint venture licence agreement and tworeciprocal investment agreements.
Markedet for NVM-kredsløb er meget dynamisk. Specielt delmarkedet for »flash memories« ventes at ville vokse til det tidobbelte i perioden 1992-1996. Dette forventes at ville give anledning til en overkapacitet, som igen må forventes af ville føre til lavere priser og til en mere udbredt brug af disse højteknologiske produkter.
The market for NVMs is very dynamic.
Kommissionens beslutning omfatter dels en negativattest, dels en individuel fritagelse i henhold til EF-traktatens artikel 85, stk. 3, og EØS-aftalens artikel 53, stk. 3.
The Commission's Decision was partly a negative clearance and partly an individual exemption under Article85(3) of the EC Treaty and Article 53(3) of the EEA Agreement.
Det konkluderes i beslutningen, at etableringen af joint ventureselskabet rammes af artikel 85, stk. 1, og artikel 53, stk. 1, idet det bevirker en begrænsning af konkurrencen mellem parterne, der er konkurrenter på NVM-markedet.
It concluded that the establishment of the jointventure fell within the scope of Articles 85(1) and 53(1) because it would have the effect of restricting competition between the parties, who were competitors in the market for NVMs.
En territorial begrænsning i teknologikrydslicensaftalen, hvorefter Fujitsu i en periode på fem år får ret til at sælge sine produkter aktivt i Det Forenede Kongerige og Irland, og AMD får ret til at sælge sine produkter aktivt i resten af EØS, anses også for at være i strid med artikel 85, stk. 1, og artikel 53, stk. 1.
A territorial restriction included in thetechnology cross-licence agreement reserving, for five years, to Fujitsu the right to sell actively in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and to AMD the right to sell actively in the rest of the EEA, was also found to infringe Articles 85(l)and 53(1).
Kommissionen mener dog, at disse klausuler opfylder betingelserne i artikel 85, stk. 3, og artikel 53, stk. 3, da deres konkurrencebegrænsende virkninger opvejes af:
However, the Commission considered that these covenants came within the terms of Articles 85(3) and 53(3) because their restrictive effects were outweighed by:
— udbredelsen af en ny generation af halvledere, der vil medføre tekniske og økonomiske fremskridt, da de giver mulighed for at fremstille stadig mindre, hurtigere og mere pålidelige elektroniske systemer af enhver art lige fra computere til bærbare telefoner og talebaseret elektronisk post
(i) the dissemination of a new generation of semiconductor devices which would lead to technical and economicprogress by making possible the production of increasingly smaller, faster and more reliable electronic system products ranging from computers to portable telephones and voice mail;
397 og AMD er meget aktiv i resten af Europa), øges chancerne for succes i forbindelse med introduktionen af noget, der reelt er et nyt produkt, idet de vil kunne tilbyde kunderne hurtigere levering, lavere priser og en bedre eftersalgsservice.
As for the territorial restriction, the Commission noted that limiting for an initial period the parties' active salesterritories to those where they already had an established infrastructure (Fujitsu is present, in particular, in the UK and Irish markets where it has manufacturing facilities; AMD has a strong presence in the rest of Europe),would increase the chances of success in what was, in effect, a new product introduction, in that they would beable to offer customers faster deliveries, lower cost and better after-sales service.
Partners (IPSP), et kommanditselskab oprettet efter amerikansk lovgivning af ni selskaber2) med henblik på at tilbyde internationale telekommunikationstjenester til erhvervslivet i Europa og
The Commission cleared by formal Decision1the creation of International Private Satellite Partners (IPSP), alimited partnership organized under US law among nine partners2to provide international private business telecommunications services via satellites to businesses in Europe and North America.
I sin beslutning konkluderede Kommissionen, at oprettelsen af IPSP ikke var omfattet af EF-traktatens artikel 85, stk. 1, og EØS-aftalens artikel 53, stk. 1, idet IPSP, som er et joint venture mellem primært private selskaber, der driver virksomhed inden for telekommunikation og rumfart, ikke vil begrænse konkurrencen, men faktisk få positive virkninger herpå.
In the Decision, it was concluded that the creation of IPSP fell outside the scope of both Article 85(1) of the ECTreaty and Article 53(1) of the EEA Agreement. IPSP, which is a venture whose partners are mostly private companies active in the telecommunications and aerospace areas, does not restrict competition and is actually expected to have a positive impact.
IPSP vil blive en ny konkurrent til de store strategiske alliancer, der for tiden bliver indgået — ofte af offentlige teletjenester — på markedet for avanceret telekommunikation.
IPSP will be a new competitor to the big strategic alliances being established,often between public operators, in the market for advanced telecommunications services.
IPSP vil samtidig øge konkurrencen på markedet for satellittransmissionskapacitet, da selskabet er et nyt og privat alternativ til de internationale satellitorganisationer (Intelsat, Eutelsat og Inmarsat) og de nationale systemer (som normalt ejes af staten eller offentlige selskaber, som i de fleste tilfælde også er signatarer i de internationale satellitorganisationer), som i øjeblikket kontrollerer stort set alle dele af satellitmarkedet. det.
It will furthermoreincrease competition in the market for satellite transmission capacity, as it is a new and private alternative to theinternational satellite organizations (Intelsat, Eutelsat and Inmarsat) and national systems (generally owned bygovernments or public companies which, in most cases, are also the national signatories to those internationalsatellite organizations) that currently control almost every aspect of the satellite market.
En række bestemmelser i aftalerne blev betragtet som accessoriske begrænsninger, der var en forudsætning for, at IPSP kunne oprettes og drives med succes.
A number of provisions in the agreements were considered restraints ancillary to the creation and successfuloperation of IPSP.
Det var tilfældet med en bestemmelse, der forpligter komplementaren i IPSP (Orion Satellite Co.) til ikke at konkurrere med IPSP, med forskellige bestemmelser, som skal sikre, at IPSP tilbyder sine kommanditister, som normalt også vil være selskabets kunder, de bedste af de priser, vilkår og andre betingelser, som IPSP tilbyder udenforstående kunder, når det stiller tjenester eller kapacitet til rådighed (favoriseringsbestemmelserne), samt med bestemmelser om, at komplementarerne skal foretrækkes, når IPSP udbyder visse forretninger i licitation.
This was the case as regards a non-competition obligation imposed only on the general partnerof IPSP (Orion Satellite Corporation), several provisions intended to ensure that IPSP will offer to its partners,which will normally also be its customers, the best prices, terms and conditions that it will be offering to thirdcustomers for the provision of services or capacity (the 'most-favoured-nation' provisions) and the preference tobe given to limited partners in respect of certain calls for tender issued by IPSP.
To andre bestemmelser om henholdsvis STET's eneret til markedsføring af IPSP's tjenester i Italien, når telekommunikationen er liberaliseret fuldt og helt, samt udnævnelsen af STET til IPSP's eneagent i Østrig ville efter Kommissionens opfattelse ikke begrænse konkurrencen mærkbart, primært takket være den internationale dimension i IPSP's tjenester, den markante størrelse af de potentielle kunder samt den lille markedsandel, IPSP må forventes at opnå.
In addition, the exclusive right granted to STET to promote the sale of IPSP services in Italy once full liberalization of telecommunications is in place, and the appointment of STET as exclusive representative agent of IPSP in Austria were deemed to be non-appreciable restrictions of competition given, in particular, the inherent international dimension of IPSP's services, the large size of potential customers and the small market share that IPSP isexpected to achieve.
Desuden konkluderede Kommissionen, at udpegningen af STET til IPSP's enedistributør i Italien, så længe det italienske marked er reguleret, og udpegningen af STET til eneagent i »det østlige Europa« ekskl. Østrig faldt uden for anvendelsesområdet for såvel EF-traktatens artikel 85, stk. 1, og EØS-aftalens artikel 53, stk. 1.
Finally, the appointment of STET as exclusive distributor of IPSP's services in Italy while the Italian market isregulated and the appointment of STET as exclusive representative agent in Eastern Europe apart from Austria
BILAG II områder, som IPSP agter at betjene; uden den pågældende aftale ville intet andet selskab således have været i stand til at distribuere IPSP's tjenester i Italien.
Asregards the former, it was a mere reflection of the fact that, under Italian law still in force, STET enjoys exclusiverights in some of the areas to be addressed by IPSP; so, in the absence of the agreement, no other company wouldhave been able to distribute IPSP's services in Italy.
Med hensyn til det sidste blev det vurderet, at eftersom de berørte lande lå uden for EU og EØS, ville de pågældende bestemmelser ikke få nævneværdige konsekvenser i EØS.
As regards the latter, it was considered that, as the countriesconcerned were outside the EC and the EEA, these provisions did not produce any appreciable effect in the EEA.
Procter & Gamble I Finaf Europa-Kommissionen gennemgik en anmeldelse fra det amerikanske multinationale selskab Procter & Gamble og dets italienske partner FATER SpA angående et joint venture inden for babybleer, hygiejneartikler til kvinder og inkontinensartikler til voksne. Efter en indledende gennemgang ') erklærede Kommissionen i juni 19922), at selv om den ikke ville modsætte sig dette joint venture mellem P & G og FATER inden for inkontinens- og hygiejneartikler, kunne transaktionen imidlertid ikke godkendes som følge af den fortsatte vækst i P & G's markedsandel inden for babybleer.
Procter & Gamble/Finaf The Commission examined a notification by the US multinational Procter & Gamble and its Italian partner Fater SpA regarding the creation of a joint venture in the baby-nappies, feminine-hygiene and adult-incontinence markets. 1
Af hensyn til forbrugerne i EU, og specielt forbrugerne i Italien, Spanien og Portugal, kunne Kommissionen ikke tillade, at P & G's allerede meget stærke position på dette marked blev yderligere styrket ved dette joint venture med FATER.
Takinginto consideration the interests of consumers in the EU and particularly in Italy, Spain and Portugal, the Commission made it clear that no extra share should be added to the already significant position of P & G in this market bymeans of its joint venture with Fater.
Parterne lovede herefter at udskille FATER's interesser inden for babybleer i Italien, Spanien og Portugal fra deres joint venture og hurtigst muligt afhænde disse interesser.
Consequently, the parties undertook to withdraw from the joint venture Fater's baby-nappies activities in Italy,Spain and Portugal and to proceed with their sale as soon as possible.
Denne afhændelse blev fuldført i juni 1994 med salget af disse aktiviteter til tredjeparter, der ønsker at trænge ind på dette marked og tage konkurrencen op med P & G's og FATER's joint venture samt med de andre to blefabrikanter på dette marked, nemlig Mölnlycke AB og Kimberley-Clark Corp.
The divestiture was completed in June 1994with the sale of these activities to third parties willing to enter this market and compete against the P & G/Faterjoint venture and the other two established baby-nappies manufacturers - Molnlycke AB and Kimberly-Clark Corp.
