EGEDA er et organ, der forvalter audiovisuelle producenters rettigheder. I den her omhandlede sag anfægtes dets ret til at opkræve et beløb for overførsel af programmer modtaget via hotellernes tvantenner til værelserne, fordi der efter klagernes mening i disse tilfælde ikke er tale om »offentlig fremførelse« (artikel 20. stk. 2, litra g)) og »retransmission« (artikel 20, stk. 2. litra f)) som omhandlet i loven om intellektuel ophavsret; de havde da også anfægtet en sådan fortolkning i forbindelse med en lang række sager, der var anlagt ved ordinære domstole.
In the circular, DAF declared that the individual freedom of its members to set prices and discounts was to be interpreted as meaning that they were lawfully entitled to ask for a bigger deposit in the event of sales to nationals of other countries of the European Union.

Under Article 6 of the Competition Act such initiatives on the part of an industry association are prohibited because they can lead to uniform pricing and limit sales to certain categories of customer.
ANVENDELSEN AF KONKURRENCEREGLERNE I DEN EUROPÆISKE UNION
The Competition Council has ordered DAF to withdraw its circular and distribute a correction concerning the deposit required by dealers in case of sale to EU nationals.
Den 6. marts 1998 fremsendte GLAXO's marketingafdeling til grossisterne nye generelle salgsbetingelser for farmaceutiske specialiteter, der markedsføres af denne koncern og meddelte, at de nye betingelser ville træde i kraft den 9. i samme måned.
As indicated in the 1997 Competition Report,251 by decision of 24 October 1997 the Competition Council (Kilpailuneuvosto) fined Valio Oy FIM 5 million for abusing its dominant position on the market in milk products in Finland.
Disse generelle betingelser, som fastsætter aftalerammen for salget af farmaceutiske specialiteter til lægemiddelgrossistcr, opererer med to takster afhængigt af produkternes destination.
Valio granted traders rebates on the wholesale price of liquid milk products on the basis of the average value of all products supplied.
Med disse nye betingelser søgte GLAXO at dæmme op for visse spanske grossisters paralleleksport til andre EU-lande, hvor prisen på lægemidler var højere.
To obtain the maximum rebate, traders had to obtain all of their dairy product supplies from Valio.
De to takster indebar prisforskelle på helt op til 2500 %.
This had the effect of tying them to Valio and excluding smaller competitors.
Den 6. marts anmeldte GLAXO de nye salgsbetingelser til Kommissionen med anmodning om en negativattest eller en fritagelse i medfør af artikel 81, stk. 3.
Marketing support,252 which was granted on the basis of the trader's overall volume of purchases and which discriminated to some extent between traders, had similar effects.
Fra og med den 13. marts ophørte GLAXO med at levere til de grossister, som ikke havde underskrevet de generelle salgsbetingelser.
The Supreme Administrative Court (Korkein hallinto-oikeus) dismissed, by its judgment of 11 November, the appeal which Valio had brought against the Competition Council's decision.
Ved afgørelse af 22. april 1998 indledte konkurrencemyndigheden en procedure med henblik på at standse en praksis, der er forbudt i henhold til artikel 1 og 7 i loven om beskyttelse af konkurrencen (LDC) og artikel 81. stk. 1.
In its judgment the Court held that Valio's market position and activities should be viewed in the light of Finnish competition-law requirements and the provisions of European Community law concerning dominant positions and the decisions of a firm in such a position.
GD IV fremsendte en påmindelse til GLAXO, hvori det efter en indledende undersøgelse vurderedes, at aftalen syntes at indeholde eller føre til konkurrencebegrænsninger, der var uforenelige med artikel 81, stk. 1, og som ikke kunne anses for at være omfattet af den i artikel 81, stk. 3, indeholdte undtagelsesbestemmelse.
The Court found, as had the Competition Council before it, that Valio was guilty of an abuse of a dominant position on the market, prohibited by points 2 and 4 of Article 7 of the Act on competition restrictions and by Article 82.
Konkurrencedomstolen vurderede under hensyn til Kommissionens kriterier, som EF-Domstolen havde stadfæstet i dom af 11. januar 1990. — i SANDOZ2M-sagen — . at for så vidt som formålet med de nye salgsbetingelser, som GLAXO selv havde anført, var at begrænse eksporten af farmaceutiske specialiteter fra Spanien, var det nødvendigt at fastslå, om der forelå en overtrædelse af artikel 81, stk. 1. og følgelig om betingelsen vedrørende fumus boni juris var opfyldt, således at der kunne træffes retsbevarende foranstaltninger, uden dermed at foregribe den endelige afgørelse i sagen.
The Competition Council pointed out in its decision on Ajasto Oy, which was delivered on 17 December, that the fact of fulfilling the conditions for the application of Article 82 did not preclude the application in the same case of national law on restrictions of competition.
Konkurrencedomstolen anførte desuden, at de nye salgsbetingelser »indebærer en betydelig ændring af konkurrencevilkårene på engrosmarkedet for farmaceutiske specialiteter for de forhandlere, som markedsfører GLAXO's produkter, hvilket kan påvirke både de. der har. og de. der ikke har underskrevet betingelserne.«
The Competition Authority had expressed the view in its proposal to the Competition Council that Ajasto had been guilty of an abuse of a dominant position prohibited by Article 7 of the Finnish Act.
Den retsbevarende foranstaltning trådte imidlertid først i kraft i december 1998, hvor klagerne indbetalte den fastsatte sikkerhedsstillelse.
Ajasto had argued that domestic law was not applicable in this case as the conduct in question could have an effect on trade between Member States.
Domstolen erklærede den 14. december i sagen ONDAS RAMBLAS/AGEDI. at det ikke var godtgjort, at foreningen til forvaltning af intellektuelle ophavsrettigheder (AGEDI) — som hævdet af SDC — havde gjort sig skyldig i en praksis, som er forbudt i henhold til artikel 6 i LDC eller traktatens artikel 82.
Referring to the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Communities in Walt Wilhelm (Case 14/68) and Guerlain (Joined Cases 253/78 and 1-3/79), the Competition Council stated that the Community competition rules and national competition law were applicable in parallel. These provisions were also complementary as regards the monitoring and punishment of abuses of dominant positions.
Ifølge SDC havde AGEDI gjort sig skyldig i en praksis, der var i strid med artikel 6. stk. 2. litra a) og b) i LDC og med artikel 82. stk. 1. litra a) og b). ved at påtvinge urimelige priser og stille tillægsbetingelser, som ikke har forbindelse med ydelsen.
The Council, like the Competition Authority before it, considered that cooperation in respect of fares and market sharing between coach operators under a joint pricing agreement was contrary to the Act on competition restrictions and that exemption was out of the question.
SDC mente således, at AGEDI havde misbrugt sin dominerende stilling pã markedet for forvaltning af royalties til producenter af
Under an agreement, the city of Turku purchased transport services direct from TLO members without any call for tenders.
Derer tale om et beløb, som fabrikanten, i det konkrete tilfælde Valio, udbetaler lil de handlende, stim forelager store indkøb hos ham; beløbet skal af de handlende anvendes lil at udbrede kendskabet lil fabrikantens produkter blandt forbrugerne.
It consists in an amount paid by the producer, in this case Valio, to traders who buy substantial quantities from it, with which the traders have to make the producer's goods known amongst consumers.
Undersøgelsen al' denne sag er endnu ikke afsluttet.
APPLICATION OF THE COMPETITION RULES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
Konkurrencerådet lagde i sin afgørelse vægt på. at konkurrencen fra de øvrige EU-medlemsstater på det finske marked for rute-biltransport var øget i de senere år.
In its decision the Competition Council attached importance to the fact that, in recent years, competition from other Member States in the Finnish coach transport market had increased.
Opretholdelsen af et kartel mellem rutebilselskaberne og undladelsen af at udbyde opgaverne i licitation havde til formål og til følge at begrænse konkurrencen i strid med artikel 81 og 49 og med direktiverne om offentlige kontrakter. Der kan ikke indrømmes fritagelse for denne type praksis, som lukker markedet og forhindrer konkurrence fra de øvrige medlemsstater.
The maintenance of a cartel between operators and the lack of any open tendering had objectives and effects contrary to Articles 81 and 49 and to the public procurement directives.
Konkurrencerådet konstaterede, at i henhold til traktatens artikel 10 kan et retsorgan ikke under henvisning til national lovgivning træffe en afgørelse, stim klart strider mod de forpligtelser, som følger af Finlands tiltrædelse.
The Competition Council observed that it followed from Article 10 of the Treaty that a judicial body could not take, under domestic law, a decision that would clearly conflict with the obligations stemming from accession which were binding on Finland.
Konkurrencemyndigheden afviste med sin afgørelse af 4.12.1998 at indrømme den fritagelse, som Kkauppiasliitto og Kesko Oyj. havde anmodet om for et samarbejde om prisfastsættelse al' detailpriser for produkter, der hører til basissortimentet i kæderne K-lähikauppa, K-market, K-supermarket. Citymarket og Anttila.
By its decision of 4 December the Competition Authority refused to grant the exemption which Kkauppiasliitto and Kesko Oyj. had applied for in connection with a cooperative venture involving the retail prices of products belonging to the basic range of the K-laÈhikauppa, K-market, K-supermarket, Citymarket and Anttila chains.
Der blev heller ikke indrømmet fritagelse for harmonisering af de øvrige' salgsog leveringsbetingelser, indkøbspriser og øvrige indkøbsbetingelser.
Nor was an exemption granted for the harmonisation of the other conditions of sale and delivery and of purchase prices and other conditions of purchase.
Myndigheden gjorde gældende, at ansøgningen om fritagelse ikke var tilstrækkeligt begrundet som krævet i konkurrencelovens artikel 19.
The Authority considered that the applicants had not set out sufficient grounds for obtaining an exemption as required by Article 19 of the Act on competition restrictions.
K-gruppens betydelige andel af markedet for handel med dagligvarer (ca. 40 %) havde også betydning for myndighedens negative afgørelse.
The substantial share of the basic consumer goods market held by the K group (nearly 40%) was also a factor in the Authority's reaching a negative decision.
Der er indberettet én sag — i sektoren for handel med byejendomme hvor der blev udstedt forbud mod konkurrencebegrænsende praksis efter artikel 82.
In 1998 there was one case in which a decision253 was taken finding that anticompetitive practices by a firm infringed Article 82.
Det drejer sig om en afgørelse2''4vedrørende- selskabet Decaux' praksis, som bl.a. bestod i via klausuler om stiltiende forlængelse og til lægsbestemmelser til en aftale indgået med et lokalsamfund kunstigt at forlænge aftalens varighed.
The case involved practices by Decaux, a street-furniture manufacturer, which consisted, through an interplay of tacit renewal clauses and schedules to a contract concluded with a local authority, in artificially prolonging the contract's duration.
Denne praksis blev betragtet som misbrug al' en dominerende stilling efter artikel 82. da den forhindrede konkurrenter fra andre medlemsstater i at få adgang til markedet for levering al' reklamefor byejendomme til de franske lokalsamfund.
The practices were held to constitute an abuse of a dominant position within the meaning of Article 82 as they prevented competing firms from other Member States from gaining access to the market for the supply of advertising hoardings to French local authorities.

THE APPLICATION OF COMPETITION RULES IN THE MEMBER STATES
Endvidere skal nævnes to domme afsagt af appeldomstolen i Paris, der er kompetent i appelsager mod konkurrencerådets afgørelser.
During the period under review the Federal Cartel Office applied the Community competition rules in four cases.
I en første sag2rostadfæstede appeldomstolen på grundlag af artikel 81 konkurrencerådets sanktioner mod France Télécom og Transpac i anledning af en aftale', der havde til følge at begunstige Transpacteknologien til skade for den konkurrerende teknologi, — VSAT — der blev udbudt af et datterselskab af British Telecom.
In proceedings brought under Article 81(1) in respect of the charging of recommended rates for groupage freight transport by forwarding agents, the Office decided to tolerate the practice pending repeal of the exceptional provision in Article 99(2) of the Law prohibiting restraints of competition - Gesetz gegen WettbewerbsbeschraÈnkungen (GWB) - as from the entry into force on 1 January 1999 of the sixth Law amending the GWB.
Også den rabat, som Transpac tilbød på prisen for ydelsen, blev betegnet som misbrug af en dominerende stilling i medfør af artikel 82.
The Office had previously informed the Federal Transport and Storage Association (Bundesverband Spedition und Lagerei eV) of the impending ban on recommended rates.
I den anden sag256stadfæstede domstolen en afgørelse truffet af konkurrencerådet, hvorefter bestemmelserne i eneforhandlingsaftalcr. som ydede forhandlerne fuldstændig geografisk beskyttelse, erklæredes for ulovlige efter artikel 81.
The proceedings brought for infringement of Articles 81 and 82 by clauses in gas supply contracts providing for total coverage of requirements were terminated after the gas distribution companies concerned ceased applying the clauses.
Siden vedtagelsen af lov nr. 52 (artikel 54) af 6. februar 1996 er den italienske konkurrencemyndighed tillagt beføjelse til direkte at anvende EF-traktatens artikel 81. stk. 1. og artikel 82 inden for rammerne af de beføjelser og procedurer, der er hjemlet i den italienske antitrustlovgivning. I løbet af 1998 indledte' myndigheden to undersøgelsesprocedurer i medfør af ELJ's konkurrenceregler.
In an action against the German federal railways operator Deutsche Bahn AG, the ferry company Deutsche FaÈhrgesellchaft Ostsee-mbH and Deutsche Bahn's real-estate arm (Deutsche Bahn Immobiliengesellschaft mbH), the Office initiated proceedings under Article 82 of the Treaty and Articles 22 and 26 of the GWB in respect of those firms' refusal to share use of the port facilities at Puttgarden with competing ferry companies.
Den første procedure (Consorzio industrie fiammiferi), der blev indledt den 5. november 1998. drejer sig om eventuelle overtrædelser af artikel 81. stk. 1. og artikel 82 på markedet for produktion og engrosdistribution af tændstikker i Italien.
The Office considered that the refusal by Deutsche Telekom AG to communicate, to persons requesting it, all the data in its possession concerning off-line use constituted an abuse.
Det drejer sig især om en formodet samordning af italienske tændstikproducenters forretningspolitik og om adfærd, der kan have til følge at begrænse nationale og europæiske konkurrenters adgang til markedet.
It took the view that the incomplete provision of such data to third parties was a serious obstacle to potential competitors' entering the product markets for enquiry services and subscriber directories.
Den anden procedure (LJnapace/ENEL). der blev indledt den 12. november 1998, drejer sig om ENEL's formodede overtrædelse af artikel 82 i form af en adfærd, som kan have til følge at begrænse adgangen for nationale og europæiske konkurrenter til markedet for levering af elektrisk kraft.
Moreover, the system of payment for supplying subscriber data was particularly exploitative and prevented effective competition on the markets for the relevant products.
Datoen for afslutning af proceduren er fastsat til den 20. maj 1999.
Proceedings were initiated under Article 82 of the EC Treaty, in conjunction with Articles 47 and 26 of the GWB.
I 1998 traf konkurrencemyndigheden de to første afgørelser i fusionssager. der var henvist af Kommissionen i medfør af artikel 9 i forordning nr. 4064/89.
During the period under review, the Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof) confirmed a prohibitory injunction issued by the Office, and a set of proceedings before the Berlin Court of Appeal (Kammergericht) was brought to an end.
Den første transaktion drejede sig om Promodés' overtagelse af den fælles kontrol med Gruppo GS. et selskab, der opererer i Italien i sektoren for detailhandel med levnedsmidler, personlige hygiejneartikler og husartikler.
In the first case, the Federal Court of Justice upheld the ban under Article 1 of the GWB and Article 81(1) of the EC Treaty on implementation of the articles of association of Carpartner Autovermietung GmbH (Carpartner) and of the cooperation agreements concluded between its shareholders and motor vehicle liability insurers.
Fusionen indebar, at parterne ville få en dominerende stilling med andele på helt op til 40 %-85 % af distributionen på visse lokale markeder. Myndigheden godkendtefusionen på betingelse af. at parterne gav tilsagn om at afgive et vist antal udsalgssteder i områder, hvor fusionen ville kunne få negative følger for konkurrencen.
In the Court's view, the formation of Carpartner by six insurance companies with a view to concentrating demand for the conclusion with car-hire firms of bilateral contracts on the replacement of accident-damaged vehicles had the effect of limiting the opportunities for parties on the other sideof the market to withdraw from the contracts.
Den anden transaktion vedrørte selskabet Alleanza Salute Italia's overtagelse af den fælles kontrol med selskabet Unifarma Distribuzione.
In the second case, the termination of the demarcation agreement between Ruhrgas and Thyssengas signalled the end of the proceedings before the Berlin Court of Appeal.
Disse to selskaber opererer i sektoren for engrosdistribution af lægemidler og paramedicinske produkter.
The latter thereupon withdrew the order it had made in 1996 for a reference to the European Court of Justice.
Dom fra Appeldomstolen i Paris af 19. maj 199X ..
APPLICATION OF THE COMPETITION RULES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
ANVENDELSEN AF KONKURRENCEREGLERNE I DEN EUROPÆISKE UNION tilfredsstillende aktivitetsniveau på det pågældende marked og ingen væsentlige hindringer for markedsadgangen vurderede myndigheden, at fusionen ikke ville fore til skabelse af en dominerende stilling, der ville kunne forhindre eller reducere konkurrencen på de region/de markeder for engrosdistribution af lægemidler og paramedicinske produkter.
Both companies operate in the sector of the wholesale distribution of pharmaceutical and parapharmaceutical products. In view of the presence of sufficiently active actual competitors and the lack of any major entry barriers, the Authority took the view that the operation would not give rise to the creation of a dominant position likely to eliminate or reduce competition in regional markets for the wholesale distribution of pharmaceutical and parapharmaceutical products.
Med henblik på at forberede »Commission des Pratiques Commerciales Restrictives« - CPCR p/i de nye opgaver, den skal varetage efter ikrafttrædelsen af den ændrede konkurrencelov, har økonomiministeren forelagt den forskellige sager, hvoraf de to mest interessante vedrører telekommunikations- og restaurationssektoren.
With a view to preparing the Restrictive Trade Practices Commission (CPCR) for the new functions it may be required to fulfil after the entry into force of the planned reform of the Competition Act, the Minister for Economic Affairs referred a number of cases to it. The two most interesting cases submitted to the CPCR concerned telecommunications and catering services.
Den første sag drejer sig om aftaler indgået mellem teleoperatører om fastsættelse af takster for fremføring af internationale telefonopkald til modtageren.
The first case had to do with accounting rates, which are arrangements freely negotiated between telecommunications operators whereby they a repaid for transferring international telephone calls to their destination.
Aftalen om takstfastsættelse er gjort til genstand for en indledende undersøgelse i Kommissionen, som har suspenderet proceduren, for at de nationale myndigheder inden for rammerne af den decentraliserede anvendelse af EU's konkurrenceregler kan behandle sagen og træffe afgørelse i henhold til de respektive nationale lovgivninger.
Accounting rates formed the subject-matter of a preliminary inquiry by the European Commission, which suspended the procedure in order that the national authorities might, as
Undersøgelsesfasen afsluttes i første halvdel af 1999.
The investigation is scheduled to end during the first half of 1999.
Den anden sag drejer sig om en klage over praksis vedrørende betalingsformer i restauranter.
The second case started with a complaint about practices relating to means of payment in restaurants.
Da undersøgelserne er langvarige og komplicerede, vil sagen først blive afsluttet i maj 1999.
Since the investigations are lengthy and complex, the file on the case will not be closed before May 1999.
En lang række sager, som konkurrencemyndigheden (NMa) har fået forelagt, er blevet behandlet i samarbejde med Generaldirektoratet for Konkurrence.
A large number of cases which it fell to the NMa to consider formed the subject-matter of consultations with the Directorate-General for Competition.
Meddelelsen om samarbejdet mellem Kommissionen og de nationale konkurrencemyndigheder har i den henseende spillet en nyttig rolle.
The notice on cooperation between the Commission and national competition authorities performed a useful role in this respect.
Samarbejdet på personaleplan har vist sig at være særligt effektivt, ikke alene med hensyn til at sikre en god koordinering mellem Kommissionen og NMa. men også med hensyn til at forebygge den praksis, der består i at søge den mest gunstige jurisdiktion.
Cooperation at staff level proved particularly effective and was much appreciated, not only when it came to ensuring proper coordination between the Commission and the NMa, but also as a means of preventing the practice of forum shopping.
NMa har fremsendt en række praktiske forslag til Generaldirektoratet for Konkurrence med henblik på at gøre samarbejdet endnu mere effektivt.
The NMa submitted a number of practical proposals to the Directorate-General aimed at making the cooperation between the two even more effective.
Generaldirektoratet for Konkurrence har reageret positivt herpå.
The Directorate-General responded positively to these moves.
NMa har beføjelse til at anvende EF-traktatens artikel 81, stk. 1. og artikel 82. men den har ikke benyttet sig heraf i 1998.
Although the NMa has the power to apply Article 81(1) and Article 82 of the EC Treaty, it did not use it in 1998.
Når den anvender de nationale konkurrenceregler, bygger den i vid udstrækning på EU's retspraksis.
When it applies Netherlands competition rules, it relies extensively on Community case-law.
Med hensyn til Vendex' og KBB's øvrige aktiviteter, erklærede Kommissionen den påtænkte fusion for forenelig med fællesmarkedet.
As far as the other activities of Vendex and KBB were concerned, the Commission found that the proposed merger was compatible with the common market.
NMa har gennemført en undersøgelse med henblik på al fastslå, om supermarkeder udgør et særskilt marked.
The NMa carried out a survey to see whether large-surface stores constituted a separate market.
Den fastslog, at det ikke var tilfældet, da alle de produkter, der sælges i et supermarked, også findes i specialiserede butikker: supermarkeder er følgelig underlagt stærk konkurrence.
It concluded that that was not the case as all the products offered for sale in large-surface stores were also to be found in specialised shops; large-surface stores therefore faced strong competition.
