I overensstemmelse med sine beslutninger i sagerne IV/M.603 — Crown Cork & Seal/C'arnaud MetalBox og I V/M.081 ­ VIAG/Continental Can fastslog Kommissionen, at eftersom der ikke optrådte nogen substituerbarhed mellem de forskellige emballagematerialer, skulle det relevante marked i denne sag defineres som markedet for glasbeholdere til fødevarer, drikkevarer, vin og spiritus. De relevante geografiske markeder blev defineret som nationale grundet den manglende­konkurrence på tværs af landegrænserne, den lokale forsyningsstruktur og de betydelige prisforskelle­landene imellem. Kommissionen konkluderede, at transaktionen i den oprindeligt anmeldte form ville have styrket Owens­Illinois' dominerende stilling pa markedet for glasbeholdere i Det Forenede Kongerige og Irland.
Along the lines of its previous findings in cases IV/M.603 Ð Crown Cork & Seal/Carnaud MetalBox and IV/M.081 Ð VIAG/Continental Can, the Commission confirmed that, due to the lack of interchangeability of the different packaging materials, the relevant product market in the present case was the market for glass containers used to package food products, beverages, wines and spirits. The relevant geographic markets were defined as being national due to lack of crossborder competition, local supply structures and significant price differences between countries. The Commission concluded that the proposed operation, as originally notified, would have created or reinforced Owens-Illinois's dominant position in the glass container market in the UK and Ireland.
Denne konklusion byggede på parternes store markedsandele, de øvrige konkurrenters små markedsandele og manglen på konkurrencepres fra virksomheder uden for Det Forenede Kongerige. der skyldtes de høje transportomkostninger.
This finding is based on the high market shares of the parties, the low market shares of the remaining competitors, and the lack of competitive pressure from outside the UK due to high transport costs.
Disse tilsagn fjernede enhver overlapning mellem Owens­Illinois' and BTR Packagings aktiviteter på det britiske marked for glasbeholdere.
These commitments completely eliminate the overlap between Owens-Illinois and BTR Packaging in the UK glass container market.
Efter en detaljeret undersøgelse foretaget i henhold til EKSF­traktatens artikel 66. som danner udgangspunkt for Kommissionens vurderinger af fusioner inden for jern­ og stålindustrien, godkendte Kommissionen, på visse vilkår. RAG Aktiengesellschafts (RAG) overtagelse af Saarbergwerke AG (Saarbergwerke) og Preussag Anthrazit GmbH (Preussag).
After a detailed investigation under Article 66 of the ECSC Treaty, under which the Commission examines concentrations in the coal and steel industries, the Commission authorised, subject to conditions, the acquisition of Saarbergwerke AG (Saarbergwerke) and Preussag Anthrazit GmbH (Preussag) by RAG Aktiengesellschaft (RAG).
De tre virksomheder er de eneste tilbageværende kulproducenter i Tyskland. RAG og Saarbergwerke importerer også kul.
The three companies are the only three remaining German coal producers.
Virk­somhederne har også andre aktiviteter, der falder uden for EKSF­traktaten.
The companies also have other activities not falling under the ECSC Treaty.
Disse aspekter af fusionen var allerede blevet godkendt af Bundeskartellamt.
These aspects of the proposed operation had already been cleared by the Federal Cartel Office.
Kommissionen påpegede, at transaktionen ville afstedkomme visse problemer for konkurrencen, navnlig for den tyske import af kul. Efter drøftelser med Kommissionen afgav RAG imidlertid en række tilsagn for at løse disse problemer.
The Commission identified competition concerns arising from the proposed operation, particularly in relation to imported coal in Germany.
De betyder bl.a.. at Saarbergwerkes kulimportvirksomhed vil blive solgt til en uafhængig tredjepart, og at salget af henholdsvis indenlandsk produceret kul og importeret kul vil blive holdt fuldstændig adskilt.
These include the divestment, to an independent third party, of all of Saarbergwerke's coal importing activities and the complete separation of the sales of domestic coal from the sales of imported coal.
'Fakkel være­den komplette adskillelse mellem afsætningen af henholdsvis tysk og importeret kul er det ikke sandsynligt, at konkurrencen mellem RAG og virksomhedens konkurrenter vil blive fordrejet på markedet for salg af importeret kul i Tyskland, og gennemsigtigheden pa det tvske marked vil blive forbedret.
As a result of the complete separation of the marketing of German coal and the marketing of imported coal, there is likely to be no distortion of competition between RAG and its competitors in respect of sales of imported coal in Germany and the transparency of the German market will be improved.
Endelig omfatter den del af Saarbergwerkes importvirksomhed, der vil blive solgt, visse omladnings­, lager­ og transportfaciliteter, hvilket vil bidrage til en yderligere styrkelse af den fremtidige købers stilling inden for import af stenkul.
Lastly, the Saarbergwerke import operations to be sold include certain transshipment, storage and transport facilities which will further strengthen the position of its future purchaser in the importing of hard coal.

Fusioner ledsaget af tilsagn fra de deltagende virksomheder i henhold til fusionsforordningens artikel 8, stk. 2
Merger proposals where undertakings pursuant to Article 8(2) of the ECMR have been given by the firms involved
Skanska er aktiv inden for byggeri, produktion og distribution af byggematerialer og inden for ejendomsforvaltning.
Skanska is active in building construction, production and distribution of building materials and real estate management.
Målsclskabet Scancem er aktivt inden for produktion og distribution al byggematerialer, hovedsagelig cement og andre mineralske materialer.
The target company Scancem is active in production and distribution of building materials, primarily cement and other mineral-based materials.
'Fransaktionen ville desuden skabe en dominerende' stilling pa de svenske markeder for fabriksbeton. tørbeton og færdigstøbte betonvarer.
Moreover, it would create a dominant position on the Swedish markets for ready-mixed concrete, dry concrete and pre-cast concrete products.
Den kombinerede enhed ville komme til at sidde på over 4/5 af cementmarkedet og pã 2/5­3/5 af de øvrige markeder. Transaktionen ville få negative virkninger for alle disse markeder, navnlig som følge af den kombinerede enheds meget stærke position på markederne i forhold til dens mindre og svagere konkurrenter.
The combined entity would account for over 4/5 of the cement market and for 2/5-3/5 of the other markets.
Fusionen ville også få betydelige vertikale virkninger som følge af Skanskas og Scancems omfattende aktiviteter på flere niveauer i byggeindustrien, nemlig inden for udgangsmaterialer (cement og tilslagsmaterialer), inden for byggematerialer (beton og andre bygge­varer) og endelig inden for selve byggesektoren.
However, these effects would be substantially reinforced by the vertical effects, resulting from the combined activities of Skanska and Scancem on the raw material markets (cement and aggregates), the construction materials markets (concrete and other construction products) and, finally, on the construction market itself.
Den fusionerede enheds mange forskellige aktiviteter ville også gøre det vanskeligt for nye virksomheder at trænge ind pa de relevante markeder.
The combined entity's wideranging activities would also serve as a significant barrier to entry at every level of its activities.
For at lose de problemer, som Kommissionen have påpeget, gav Skanska tilsagn om at antænde alle sine aktier i Scancem og desuden afhænde Scancems cementinteresser i Finland.
In order to resolve the Commission's concerns relating to Scancem, Skanska promised to procure the divestiture of Scancem's cement business in Finland, and also to divest Skanska's entire shareholding in Scancem.
Disse foranstaltninger vil åbne markedet op og bane vej for en uafhængig leverandør af cement af tilstrækkelig høj kvalitet.
These measures will open up the market by creating an additional independent source of supply, where high-quality cement can be obtained.
Desuden vil Skanskas tilsagn om at afhænde alle sine aktier i Scancem fjerne de bekymringer for konkurrencen, der skyldtes den vertikale integration mellem selskaberne.
Moreover, Skanska's undertaking to divest its shareholding in Scancem will remove the competitive concerns relating to the vertical integration between the companies.

De markeder, pa hvilke fusionen formentlig ville få konsekvenser for den effektive konkurrence, var markederne for in vitro­diagnostika (IVD — test, der anvendes til identificering og måling af stoffer i vævs­, blod­ eller urinprøver) og DNA­sonder.
The affected markets where a possible impact on effective competition was identified were in vitro diagnostics (IVD tests used to identify and measure substances in patients' tissue, blood or urine samples) and DNA probes.
I deres anmeldelse angav parterne, at markedet for in vitro­diagnostika dækkede hele verden eller i hvert fald EØS.
In their notification the parties indicated that the markets for in vitro diagnostics are worldwide or at least the EEA.
Grundet behovet for lokalt etablerede­udbydere, den manglende substituerbarhed pã efterspørgselssiden og hovedkonkurrenternes nationalt opbyggede distributionssystemer var det Kommissionens opfattelse, at markederne for in vitro­diagnostika og DNA­sonder i det store og hele var nationale markeder.
Given the need for a local presence for suppliers, the lack of interchangeability for customers with other products and national distribution systems of major competitors, the Commission found that the markets for in vitro diagnostics and DNA probes remain essentially national.
Kommissionen konkluderede, at fusionen i den anmeldte form ville skabe eller styrke dominerende stillinger inden for diagnostika pa omraderne klassisk klinisk kemi og immunkemi og inden for DNA­sonder pa en række nationale markeder.
The Commission concluded that the merger in its notified form would create or strengthen dominant positions in the fields of classical clinical chemistry and immunochemistry diagnostics and DNA probes in a number of national markets.
Med hensyn til diagnostika på områderne klassisk klinisk kemi og immunkemi ville sammenlægningen af Roches og BM's installerede baser styrke BM's dominerende stilling i nogle lande og gøre det lettere at skabe en dominerende stilling i andre lande. Efter fusionen ville Roche og BM sta i en meget fordelagtig position takket være deres meget store installerede instrumentbaser.
For classical clinical chemistry and immunochemistry diagnostics the combination of Roche's and BM's installed bases would strengthen BM's dominant position in some countries and facilitate the creation of a dominant position in others.
ANVENDELSEN AF KONKURRENCEREGLERNE I DEN EUROPÆISKE UNION
APPLICATION OF THE COMPETITION RULES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION not even the largest customer of the parties accounts for a substantial amount of either party's sales.
På markedet for DNA-sonder indtager Roche en meget stærk stilling, som først og fremmest bygger pa selskabels omfattende patentbeholdning inden for den vigtigste DNA-sondeteknologi, den såkaldte Polymerase Chain Reaction-teknik (PCR).
As for the DNA probes market, Roche has a very strong position based mainly on its extensive patent portfolio relating to the main DNA probe technology, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique.
De forskningslicenser, som Roche udsteder, giver ikke licenshaverne ret til at markedsføre produkter eller udstyr baseret på den patenterede PCR-teknologi.
The research licences granted by Roche do not give the licensees any right to commercialise products or equipment using the patented PCR technology.
For at løse de konkurrencemæssige problemer, som Kommissionen havde peget pa. gav Roche tilsagn om at afhænde den vigtigste installerede base (Cobas Mira) i de forskellige lande og sælge den til en enkelt køber og levedygtig konkurrent i den klinisk-kemiske sektor.
To dismiss the competition concerns raised by the Commission, Roche undertook to divest the most important installed base (Cobas Mira) in the respective countries and to sell it to a single purchaser who is a viable competitor in the clinical chemistry business.
Roche ville desuden pa et ikkediskriminerende grundlag give alle interesserede aktører på markedet adgang til POR-teknologien til alle IVD-anvendelser (»most-favoured-eustomer«-klausul).
Roche undertook further to give access to the PCR technology for all in vitro diagnostic applications to interested market participants on nondiscriminatory terms (most-favoured-customer clause).
Tilsagnet medfører en betydelig mindskelse af den sammenlagte installerede base og markedsandel inden for den klinisk-kemiske sektor, og det vil sætte køberen i stand til omgående at optræde som leverandør af et komplet sortiment.
The commitment significantly reduces the addition of installed base and market share in clinical chemistry and will enable the purchaser to immediately act as a full-range supplier.
Tilsagnet vil også sikre, at adskillige store IVD-producenter vil få mulighed for at trænge ind på markedet for DNA-sonder.
The undertaking will also ensure that there will be several entries from large IVD producers in the DNA probes market.
Både Agfa og DuPont beskæftiger sig på verdensplan med produktion af grafiske film og offsettrykplader.
Both Agfa and DuPont are active worldwide in the production of graphic arts film and offset printing plates.
Ved definitionen af produktmarkederne skelnede Kommissionen mellem markedet for grafiske film og markedet for offsettrykplader.
In defining the product markets the Commission distinguished between the graphic arts film sector and the offset printing plates sector.
Sidstnævnte blev igen opdelt i fire forskellige produktmarkeder, nemlig markedet for positive plader, markedet for negative plader, markedet for plader til computer-til-plade-teknologien og markedet for elektrostatiske plader.
Within the latter, four different product markets were identified: positive and negative offset printing plates, plates for computer-to-plate technology and electrostatic plates.
Grundet den betydelige samhandel og manglen på lovgivningsmæssige hindringer blev det geografiske marked defineret som EØS.
Due to substantial trade flows and the absence of legislative barriers, geographic markets were defined as being EEA-wide.
Kommissionen fandt, at transaktionen i den anmeldte form ville føre til skabelse af en dominerende stilling for parterne på markedet for negative offsettrykplader.
The Commission found that the proposed deal in its notified form would lead to the creation of a dominant position of the parties in the market for negative offset printing plates.
Disse plader sælges enten til trykkerier og forlag, f.eks. avistrykkerier og emballage-trykkerier, eller til distributører og detailhandlende. Den dominerende stilling skyldtes ikke kun meget høje markedsandele i EØS. men også flere andrefaktorer.
These offset plates are sold either to printing and publishing firms, such as, for example, newspaper printers or printers of packaging, or to distributors and retailers.
De fleste af de konkurrenter, der udbyder negative offsettrykplader, indgår normali en pakkeaftale med deres kunder, hvorved de stiller udstyret gratis til rådighed, forudsat at kunden køber sine forbrugsmaterialer (film og plader) hos udstyrsleverandøren i el bestemt tidsrum.
Most competitors offering negative offset printing plates usually enter into package deals with their customers whereby they agree to provide equipment for free and the customer agrees to purchase its consumables for a certain time from the supplier.
Agfa havde imidlertid indgået aftaler, der forpligtede udstyrsleverandører til kun at levere visse former for udstyr til Agfa.
Agfa, however, had entered into relations obliging suppliers of equipment to sell certain equipment to Agfa only.
Disse eksklusivaftaler forringede de fleste konkurrenters muligheder for at tilbyde tieres kunder tilsvarende pakkeaftaler. da de Heste af dem ikke selv producerede udstyr.
These exclusivity contracts reduced the ability of most competitors to offer similar package deals to their customers because the majority of them lack equipment production of their own.
Den nye enhed ville derfor få meget lettere adgang til kunderne end deres hovedkonkurrentcr.
Consequently the new entity would enjoy much easier access to customers than its main competitors.
Agfa og DuPont indgik desuden eksklusivaftaler med en række vigtige forhandlere, som kun måtte forhandle Agfa- eller DuPont-produkter.
Moreover, Agfa and DuPont concluded exclusivity arrangements with a number of important dealers who were only allowed to offer Agfa or DuPont products respectively.
Dette tilsagn vil gøre det muligt for forhandlerne at sælge konkurrerende produkter, hvilket vil forøge interbrand­konkurrencen.
This undertaking will allow dealers to sell products of competitors and this will increase inter-brand competition.
WorldCom og MCI er begge børsnoterede teleselskaber, der udbyder det normale­ sortiment af teletjenester.
WorldCom and MCI are publicly quoted telecommunications companies offering the normal range of telecommunications services.
De udbyder også internettjenester.
Both are also active in the supply of Internet-related services.
Uanset hvilken konfiguration slutbrugerens system benytter, får vedkommende normalt adgang til Internettet ved at abonnere påen adgangstjeneste. der stilles til rådighed af en internetudbyder.
Whatever the configuration of the final user's system, access to the Internet is usually obtained by subscribing for access services provided by an internet service provider (ISP).
Internetudbyderen giver betalende abonnenter adgang til Internettet på kommercielt basis.
ISPs offer Internet access services on a commercial basis to paying subscribers.
Kommissionen fandt, at der inden for internetsektoren kunne skelnes mellem forskellige former for tjenester, f.eks. tjenester fra små teleoperatører i form af opkaldsadgang (dial up access), tjenester leveret af større aktører, der driver lokale netværk, og tjenester leveret af endnu større operatører, der driver internationale langdistancenetværk, der danner Internettets overordnede struktur.
Within the Internet sector the Commission found that various types of service provision could be distinguished, ranging, for example, from small operators providing little more than retail dial-up services, to bigger players running local networks, and still larger operators running international long distance international networks, which provide the overarching structure of the Internet.
Kun de absolut største internetudbydere kan med helt egne faciliteter tilbyde komplet internetkonnektivitet.
The only organisations which are capable of delivering complete Internet connectivity entirely on their own account are the top-level ISPs.
Hvis topnettene hæver deres priser for adgang til Internettet, vil videresælgernes omkostninger blive foroget. og denne forøgelse vil nødvendigvis blive væltet over på forbrugerne.
If the top-level networks increased the price of their Internet connectivity services the cost base of resellers would be increased by the same amount, and that increase would have to be passed on to the customer.
Parterne tilhører en lille gruppe af internetudbydere, der kan tilbyde konnektivitet hvor som helst på Internettet udelukkende gennem deres egne peering­aftaler og uden at være tvunget til at købe transittjenester hos andre udbydere.
The parties belong to a small group of internet service providers who have the ability to provide connectivity anywhere on the Internet solely through their own peering agreements and without having to rely on the purchase of a transit service from any other provider.
WorldCom er den førende aktør på markedet, mens MCI er en af WorldComs hovedkonkurrenter.
WorldCom is currently the leading player in the market, with MCI one of its principal competitors.
Efter fusionen ville den kombinerede enhed beherske omkring 50% af det relevante marked. MCI WorldCom ville kunne kontrollere adgangen til markedet ved at afvise at indgå nye peering­aftaler. udelukke eller true med at udelukke peering­aftaler og/eller erstatte dem med tilslutning mod betaling.
After the merger the combined entity would have a share of some 50% of the relevant market.
Sammenlægningen af WorldComs og MCI's Internet­backbonenet ville skabe et net afså absolut og relativ størrelse, at den kombinerede enhed i vid udstrækning ville kunne handle uafhængigt af sine konkurrenter og kunder.
Moreover, the combination of the Internet backbone networks of WorldCom and MCI would create a network of such absolute and relative size that the combined entity could be have to an appreciable extent independently of its competitors and customers.
Kommissionen konkluderede derfor, at transaktionen i den anmeldte form ville skabe eller styrke en dominerende stilling for parterne.
The Commission therefore concluded that the operation in its notified form would have created or strengthened a dominant position of the parties.
For at løse de konkurrencemæssige problemer forbundet med fusionen gav parterne et antal tilsagn omfattende afhændelse af alle MCI's internetinteresser.
To meet these competition concerns the parties proposed remedies which involved the divestiture of a package including all of MCI's Internet interests.
Dette tilsagn blev vurderet som tilstrækkeligt til at sikre, at køberen kunne indtage MCI's plads på det pågældende marked.
This commitment was considered sufficient to enable the acquirer to takeover the position of MCI as a player in this market.
Kob al' en transittjencste beskrives som en Internetudbyders ret lil at få sin trafik transitudbyderens egen trafik over en peering­grænseflade.
The purchase of a transit service may be described as a right on the part of an ISP to have its traffic treated as the traffic of the transit provider's network for the purpose of exchange across a peering interface.
