Sådanne selskaber er nemlig nødsaget til at benytte Big 6-koncernerne, da de er de eneste, der har de fornødne ressourcer, den fornødne ekspertise og geografiske dækning samt et tilstrækkeligt stærkt omdømme på de finansielle markeder.
Such companies are dependent for such services on the Big Six, since only the latter have the necessary depth of resources and expertise, the requisite geographic spread and a sufficiently strong reputation in the financial markets.
Kommissionen fandt, at dette marked var et nationalt marked som følge af de nationale lovkrav til revisioner og faglige kvalifikationer samt revisionsfirmaets behov for at være etableret lokalt.
The Commission found this market to be national in geographic scope in view of national regulatory requirements for statutory audits and professional qualifications, and the need on the part of the service provider for a local presence.
Kommissionen fandt, at det pågældende marked var karakteriseret ved en række træk, der var befordrende for en situation med kollektiv dominans, f.eks. en langsom stigning i efterspørgslen, homogene produkter og strukturforbindelser mellem udbyderne via selvregulerende erhvervsorganisationer.
The Commission found that the market in question was characterised by many elements which would be conducive to the creation of collective dominance, such as slow demand, homogeneous products and the fact that suppliers are interlinked via self-regulatory professional organisations.
Trods disse markedskarakteristika fandt Kommissionen ingen afgørende beviser for. at fusionen ville føre til skabelse eller styrkelse af en dominerende stilling, da det måtte forventes, at disse fem udbydere også i fremtiden ville deltage i udbud, og da det var usandsynligt, al en situation med kollektiv dominans udøvet af fem tjenesteudbydere kunne opretholdes pa længere sigt.
Despite these market characteristics, the Commission found no conclusive proof of the creation/strengthening of dominance given the likely continued participationof these five suppliers in the tender offers and the improbability that a situation of collective dominance at the level of five service providers would be stable over time.
'FKS producerer og distribuerer flade produkter af kvalitetsstål.
TKS produces and distributes quality steel flat products.
'Litan, der er el datterselskab al' Krupp-Hoesch. producerer stalomsnøringsband. ballebånd og lukninger.
Titan, a subsidiary of Krupp-Hoesch, has activities in steel strapping, balelocks and seals.
Signode er hovedsagelig aktiv inden for produktion og distribution af omsnøringsband af stal og plast.
The business activity of Signode essentially consists of the production and distribution of strapping band made of steel and plastic.
Kommissionens undersøgelse viste, at ITW Signode og joint venturet tilsammen ville komme til al sidde på mellem 35% og 40% af det samlede vesteuropæiske marked for stål- og plastomsnøringsband.
The Commission's investigation showed that ITW Signode and the joint venture would together have between 35% and 40% of the combined market for steel and plastic strapping in the Western European market.
Kommissionen sluttede' dog. at transaktionen ikke ville føre til styrkelse eller skabelse al' en dominerende stilling, bl.a. fordi det samlede marked for omsnøringsband var i vækst, og fordi parterne stod forholdsvis svagt pa det hastigt voksende marked for plastomsnøringsband. mens de stod stærkere pa markedet for stalomsnøringsband. der var aftagende.
The Commission concluded that the operation would not strengthen or create a dominant position for a number of reasons, including the fact that the overall market for strapping was growing, the parties were comparatively weak in plastic strapping, which is growing rapidly, whereas they are stronger in steel strapping, which is in longterm decline.
Der fandtes et stort antal aktive konkurrenter, og hindringerne for adgang til den voksende plastsektor var ubetydelige.
There area large number of active competitors and barriers to entry into the growing plastic sector are low.
På den baggrund besluttede Kommissionen, at den ikke ville rejse indsigelse mod det anmeldte joint venture, og transaktionen blev erklæret forenelig med fællesmarkedet og EØS-aftalen.
On this basis the Commission decided not to raise any objections to the notified joint venture and to declare the operation compatible with the common market and with the functioning of the EEA Agreement.
Enso er en international industrikoncern, hvis hovedaktiviteter består i indkøb af træ og salg af papirvarer.
Enso is an international industrial group the activities of which consist mainly in wood procurement and paper merchandising.
Stora fremstiller fibermasse, papir og karton.
Stora produces pulp, paper and board.
Kommissionens undersøgelse koncentrerede sig især om tre produktmarkeder, nemlig markederne for avispapir, tidsskriftspapir og emballagekarton til nydende produkter.
The three product markets mainly addressed by the investigation were the market for newsprint, the market for magazine paper and the market for liquid consumer packaging boards.
Parterne hævdede, at alle tre markeder var globale markeder.
The parties stated that all these markets had a global dimension.
Kommissionen medgav, at visse faktorer, som f.eks. den gradvise afskaffelse af tolden, kunne pege i retning af en gradvis overgang til et marked, der var større end EØS.
The Commission admitted that some aspects, such as the phasing-out of customs duties, might point to a gradual shift towards a market which is wider than the EEA.
Disse faktorer var dog ikke tilstrækkelige' til, at det med sikkerhed kunne fastslås, at markedet omfattede mere end EØS.
However, the Commission found that those factors were not sufficient to prove this conclusively.
De største aftagere syntes også at kunne lægge et vist pres på udbyderne.
Some countervailing purchasing power of the largest buyers appeared to exist, too.
Derfor fandt Kommissionen, at en overgang fra et oligopol med seks medlemmer til et oligopol med fem medlemmer var utilstrækkelig til at føre til skabelse eller styrkelse af en oligopolistisk dominerende stilling.
Therefore, the Commission found that the change from six to five members of the oligopoly was not sufficiently significant to lead to the creation or strengthening of an oligopolistically dominant position.
På markedet for emballagekarton til flydende produkter ville den fusionerede enhed indtage en forerposition i EØS med en meget stor markedsandel og en begrænset potentiel konkurrence. Efterspørgselssiden er imidlertid lige så koncentreret som udbudssiden, og hovedaftagernes magt. navnlig Tetra Paks. ville hindre transaktionen i at skabe eller styrke en dominerende stilling på dette marked.
In the market for liquid packaging board the new entity would be the leading producer in the EEA with a very high market share with only limited potential competition.
Fusionen blev erklæret forenelig med fællesmarkedet i henhold til fusionsforordningens artikel 8. stk. 2, uden tilføjelse af betingelser eller forpligtelser. Som reaktion på Kommissionens klagepunktsmeddelelse gav parterne imidlertid tilsagn om at indføre en prisbeskyttelsesordning for de mindre kunder.
The concentration was declared compatible with the common market under Article 8(2) of the ECMR without the attachment of any conditions or obligations.
En eventuel forhøjelse af priserne over for den største kunde ville ikke være procentvis lavere end eventuelle prisforhøjelser over for de mindre kunder.
Any increase in their prices to the largest customer would not be less, in percentage terms, than any increase in the prices to the smaller customers.
På tilsvarende måde ville en eventuelt prisnedsættelse over for den største kunde ikke være procentvis større end en eventuel prisnedsættelse over for de mindre kunder.
Similarly, any percentage price decrease to the largest customer will not be greater than any percentage price decrease to the smaller customers.
Hvis en eller flere forarbejdningsvirksomheder eller producenter i EU skulle anmode om en toldfri importkvote for emballagckarton til flydende produkter, lovede parterne, at de ikke ville modsætte sig en sådan kvote, men at de ville gøre deres bedste for at få den indført.
The parties also undertook to use their best efforts to facilitate the opening of a duty-free quota on imports of liquid packaging board if requested by one or more Community processors or manufacturers.
For det tredje lovede Enso at sælge alle sine interesser i disse aktiviteter til Elopak.
Thirdly, Enso promised to sell its entire interest in these activities to Elopak.
Derved fjernedes enhver mistanke om. at forbindelsen mellem de to virksomheder kunne svække Elopaks stærke position som aftager.
Such a sale would remove any concerns that this link would reduce the countervailing buyer power of Elopak.
Kommissionen tog disse tilsagn til efterretning.
The Commission took note of these undertakings.
Fusioner erklæret uforenelige med fællesmarkedet i henhold til fusionsforordningens artikel 8, stk. 3
Merger proposals declared incompatible with the common market under Article 8(3) of the ECMR
Parterne til den påtænkte fusion var CLT-UFA. et joint venture mellem Bertelsmann AG og Audiolina SA. og Kirch, den største udbyder af spillefilm og tv-underholdningsprogrammcr i Tyskland.
The parties to the proposed merger were CLT-UFA, a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and Audiofina SA, and Kirch, the leading supplier of cinema films and TV entertainment programmes in Germany.
Med transaktionen ville de have erhvervet fælles kontrol over det tyske betalings-tv-selskab Premiere og det tyske selskab BetaDigital.
They would have acquired joint control of the German pay-TV provider Premiere and the German company BetaDigital.
Gennem en anden del af transaktionen ville CLT-UFA, Kirch og Deutsche-Telekom have overtaget det tyske selskab BetaResearch.
In a second part of the operation, CLT-UFA, Kirch and Deutsche Telekom would have taken over the German company BetaResearch.
Fusionerne blev anmeldt særskilt, men blev senere behandlet parallelt, da de i forening ville have lagt rammerne for digital betalings-tv i Tyskland.
The concentrations were notified separately but later on handled in parallel because together they would have set the framework for digital pay-TV in Germany.
Efter en indledende undersøgelse af transaktionerne konkluderede Kommissionen, at de ville føre til skabelse eller styrkelse af dominerende' stillinger på markederne for betalings-tv. tekniske tjenester til betalings-tv og kabelnet.
After a preliminary examination of the operation the Commission concluded that the proposed operations would have led to the creation or strengthening of dominant positions on the markets for pay-TV, technical services for pay-TV and cable networks.
I dag er Premiere og DF1 de eneste udbydere af betalings-tv i Tyskland.
Currently Premiere and DF1 are the only providers of pay-TV in Germany.
I kraft af fusionen villePremiere opnå en dominerende stilling på markedet for betalings-tv i Tyskland og i det tysktalendeområde. På markedet for tekniske tjenester til betalings-tv ville BetaDigital opnå en varig dominerende stilling inden for i hvert fald satellitsektoren.
Through the merger Premiere would have achieved a dominant position on the market for pay-TV in Germany and in the German-speaking area.
På markedet for kabelnet indtager Deutsche Telekom allerede en dominerende stilling, idet det kontrollerer broderparten af kabelnettet på netniveau 3.
With regard to the market for cable networks, Deutsche Telekom continues to hold a dominant position on this market since it controls the major share of the cable network on netlevel 3.
Transmission af kabel-tv finder sted på kabelnettets niveau 3 og 4.
Broadcasting of cable TV takes place on netlevel 3 and netlevel 4 of the cable network.
På netniveau 3 betjener Deutsche Telekom 16.5 millioner ud af de i alt 18.5 millioner kabeltilsluttedc husstande.
On netlevel 3 Deutsche Telekom supplies 16.5 million out of a total of 18.5 million cable TV households.
På et meget sent tidspunkt i proceduren tilbød parterne en række tilsagn angående betalings-tv-programmer. dekoderteknologi og kabeloperatørers mulige markedsføring af Premieres program pakker.
At a very late stage in the proceedings the parties proposed several commitments concerning pay-TV programmes, decoder technology and a possible marketing of Premiere ªbouquetsº by cable operators.
Parterne knyttede dog en række restriktive betingelser til markedsføringen af Premieres programpakker, som ville have gjort det umuligt for kabelnetoperatørerne at etablere en alternativ program- og marketingplatform.
However, they made a possible marketing of Premiere ªbouquetsº subject to some far-reaching restrictive conditions with the result that a realistic chance for the establishment of an alternative programme and marketing platform in the cable network would have been excluded.
Disse tilsagn var ikke tilstrækkelige til. al de to transaktioner kunne godkendes.
These commitments were not sufficient to allow a clearance of both operations.
Efter at have gennemført en detaljeret undersøgelse af de påtænkte fusioner besluttede Kommissionen derfor at forbyde begge transaktioner.
The Commission, after having completed a detailed investigation into these proposed operations, decided to prohibit both of them.
Internet gatewaytjenester gør det lettere for brugerne at hente oplysninger pa Internettet. Disse oplysninger, der leveres af gatewaytjenesteudbyderen eller tredjeparter, stilles til rådighed enten gratis eller mod betaling.
Internet gateway services enable users to access content more easily.
Kommissionen skulle vurdere to markeder efter artikel 2, stk. 4. nemlig markedet for webstedsproduktion. hvorpå opererede både joint venturet og to af moderselskaberne, og markedet for udbud af opkaldsadgang til Internettet, hvor både Telia and Telenor (via sin aktiepost i det svenske teleselskab Telenordia) var aktive.
There were two markets which had to be examined under Article 2(4): the market for website production, where both the joint venture and two of the parent companies were active, and the market for provision of dial-up Internet access, where both Telia and Telenor (through its share in the Swedish telecoms company Telenordia) were present.
Grundet moderselskabernes og joint venturets meget små markedsandele på markedet for vvebstedsproduktion fandt Kommissionen, at selv med en samordning af moderselskabernes aktiviteter ville den effektive konkurrence ikke blive begrænset mærkbart.
On the market for website production the Commission, due to the very low combined market shares of the parents and the joint venture, concluded that, even if the parents were to coordinate their activities, it would not amount to a sizeable restriction of effective competition.
Med hensyn til markedet for opkaldsadgang til Internettet i Sverige konstaterede Kommissionen, at markedet var præget af høj vækst, relativt ubetydelige adgangsbarrierer og lave omkostninger ved leverandørskift.
In the case of the market for dial-up Internet access in Sweden, the Commission found that the market was characterised by high growth, low entry barriers and low switching costs.
Trods Telias og Telenordias forholdsvis store kombinerede markedsandele viste Kommissionens undersøgelse, at disse markedsandele var uden større betydning på et så vækstpræget marked, og at markedsstrukturerne ikke virkede til fremme for en samordning af konkurrenceadfærden.
Even if the combined shares of Telia and Telenordia were relatively high, the Commission's investigation showed that these shares were of limited importance in a strongly growing market and that the market structure was not conducive to coordination of competitive behaviour.
Kommissionen konkluderede derfor, at der ikke var nogen sandsynlighed for, at moderselskaberne ville samordne deres adfærd på dette marked.
The Commission therefore concluded that there would be no likelihood of the parent companies coordinating their competitive behaviour on this market.
Via et til formålet oprettet selskab (Exante) agtede BankAmerica Investment Corporation (BankAmerica), der kontrolleres af BankAmerica Corporation, og Capital Communications CDPQ inc. (CDPQ). der er et datterselskab af Caisse de dépôt et placement du Quebec, at overtage den fælles kontrol over Numericable Holding (NCH) sammen med Canal+. NCH driver kabel-tv-net i Frankrig.
BankAmerica Investment Corporation (BankAmerica), controlled by BankAmerica Corporation, and Capital Communications CDPQ inc.
Kommissionens undersøgelse viste imidlertid, at transaktionen skabte risiko for en samordning på det spanske betalings-tv-marked. da begge moderselskaber havde interesser på dette marked.
The Commission established, however, in the course of its investigation that the operation would give rise to a risk of coordination in the Spanish pay-TV market due to the parent companies' interests in that market.
I Spanien kontrollerer Canal+. i fællesskab med Prisa. Sogecable. der indtager en meget stærk position pa betalings-tv-markedet, og som desuden er en meget vigtig programdistributør (selskabet er i besiddelse af enerettigheder fra de fleste store filmstudier i Hollywood og de vigtigste pay-per-vicw-rettigheder til fodboldkampe).
In Spain Canal+ has joint control (with Prisa) over Sogecable, a company which occupies a very strong position in the pay-TV market and which is a leading distributor of content (it holds exclusive rights to most of the Hollywood majors and the most important pay-per-view football rights).
Pa den anden side er BankAmerica og CDPQ også aktive på betalings-tv-markedet sammen med Cableuropa. der pa licens udbyder kabel-betalings-tv og teletjenester i 14 regioner i Spanien.
BankAmerica and CDPQ are also present on the pay-TV market with the joint venture Cableuropa, a licensed operator of cable pay-TV and telecommunications services in 14 regions in Spain.
Kommissionen udelukkede, at der var risiko for en horisontal samordning mellem Sogecable og Cableuropa. da sidstnævnte var et nyt selskab på det spanske betalings-tv-marked og derfor nødvendigvis var interesseret i at tiltrække så mange abonnenter som muligt og rede til at konkurrere på pris.
The Commission ruled out the possibility of horizontal coordination between Sogecable and Cableuropa since the latter, being a new entrant to the Spanish pay-TV market, was deemed to be at a stage where it would have to attract as many subscribers as possible and would consequently be keen to compete on price.
Desuden var C'ableuropas produkt forskelligt fra Sogecables produkt, da det bestod af en pakke ubundlede tjenester (Internet, telefoni og betalings-tv).
Furthermore, the product offered by Cableuropa is different from that offered by Sogecable since it consists of an unbundled package of services (Internet, telephony and pay-TV).
Kommissionen konkluderede imidlertid, at transaktionen kunne medføre alvorlige konkurrenceproblemer på grund af de vertikale forbindelser mellem Cableuropa and Sogecable. idet Cableuropa kunne få adgang til program materiale på mere fordelagtige vilkår end andre selskaber.
The Commission concluded, however, that the operation would raise serious competition concerns as to the vertical relationship between Cableuropa and Sogecable, namely as regards content provision and such preferential treatment as Cableuropa might receive.
For at rydde disse problemer af vejen gav Canali og Sogecable tilsagn om, at alle forhandlinger med spanske kabeloperatører om tv-programmer, som de havde rettighederne til, ville foregå på retfærdig
In order to meet such concerns, Canal+ and Sogecable gave an undertaking to the effect that any negotiations with Spanish cable operators with respect to theme or other television programming over which they had distribution rights would be conducted in a fair, nondiscriminatory manner consistent
ANVENDELSEN AF KONKURRENCEREGLERNE I DEN EUROPÆISKE UNION og ikke­diskriminerende vis i overensstemmelse med EU's og Spaniens konkurrenceregler.
APPLICATION OF THE COMPETITION RULES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION with Community and national competition rules.
De samme principper ville blive håndhævet ved indrømmelsen af eventuelle enerettigheder.
The same principles would also govern the possible granting of exclusive rights.
Disse tilsagn ville forblive gvldige. så længe vilkårene på det spanske marked og de anmeldende parters aktieposter i Sogecable. Cableuropa og Numericable ikke ændrede sig nævneværdigt.
These undertakings would remain in force as long as the conditions in the Spanish market and the shareholdings of the notifying parties in Sogecable, Cableuropa and Numericable remained substantially the same.
Kommissionen mente, at disse­tilsagn udgjorde et stærkt incitament for Canal­t­ og selskabets datterselskaber til ikke at diskriminere og til at sikre en fair og ensartet behandling af kabel­tv­operatorer. der i varierende grad har behov for det programmateriale, som Canal­i­ ejer. for at få succes på betalings­tv­markedet.
The Commission considered that these undertakings constituted a powerful incentive for Canal+ and its subsidiaries not to discriminate between, and to ensure fair and equal treatment of, cable pay-TV operators which need, to varying degrees, the content owned by Canal+ if they are to successfully operate in the pay-TV market.
British Telecommunications (BT) og AT & T, der er to af verdens største teleselskaber, ønskede at danne et joint venture, som skulle udbyde et bredt spektrum af teletjenester til multinationale erhvervskunder samt internationale bærertjenester til andre tjenesteudbydere.
British Telecommunications (BT) and AT & T, two of the world's largest telecommunications operators, proposed to form a joint venture which would provide a variety of telecommunications services to multinational corporate customers and international carrier services to other carriers.
Kommissionen iværksatte en detaljeret undersøgelse af joint venturets virkninger på nere­ globale og britiske telemarkeder.
The Commission opened a detailed enquiry concentrating on the effects of the joint venture on several global telecommunications markets and some in the United Kingdom.
Efter sin indledende undersøgelse pegede Kommissionen på en række konkurrencemæssige problemer: parternes kombinerede markedsandele pa markederne for udbud af globale teletjenester til store multinationale selskaber og for internationale bærertjenester og risikoen for skabelse eller styrkelse af en dominerende stilling inden for visse teletjenester i Det Forenede Kongerige.
After a preliminary examination the Commission raised competition concerns with regard to the parties' combined market shares on the markets for the provision of global telecommunications services to large multinational companies and for international carrier services. Furthermore, it found that the joint venture might lead to the creation or strengthening of a dominant position for certain telecommunications services in the UK.
Med hensyn til de samarbejdsaspekter. der skal vurderes på grundlag af fusionsforordningens artikel 2. stk. 4. er Kommissionen i færd med undersøge den potentielle samordning i Det Forenede Kongerige mellem ACC. der er et helejet datterselskab af AT & T, og BT og Televvest. som AT & T er medejer af via TCL Kommissionen har endnu ikke afsluttet sine undersøgelser.
With regard to cooperative aspects assessed under Article 2(4) the Commission is examining potential coordination issues in the UK between ACC, a wholly owned subsidiary of AT & T and BT, and Telewest, in which AT & T through TCI will have a jointly controlling stake. The Commission's investigation has not yet been completed.
PRICE WATERHOUSE / COOPERS & LYBRAND Eller at have modtaget en række tilsagn fra parterne, godkendte Kommissionen fusionen den 30. mails \Ψ)1) pa basis af fusionsforordningens artikel S, stk. 2. og EF­traktalens artikel XI. stk. 3.
Following commitments of the parties the concentration was approved on 30 March 1999 based on Article 8(2) of the Merger Regulation and Article 81(3) of the ECT.
