Efter disse kontrolundersøgelser henledte sagsøgeren Kommissionens opmærksomhed på, al de dokumentet, dei vai fundet hos sagsøgeren, var fortrolige.
Those letters are worded in very general terms which may be interpreted as meaning that only the confidentiality of certain sensitive information contained in those documents was to be safeguarded, by, for example, deleting the relevant passages.
Sagsøgeren præciserede, at de relevante dokumenter var dem, som ICI havde anvendt til sit forsvar under høringen, og som ICI efterfølgende havde fremsendt til sagsøgeren Sagsøgeren kritiserede denne fremgangsmåde og henviste i denne forbindelse til de bemærkninger, som ICI fremsatte under høringen.
If protecting ICI's business secrets or other sensitive information by preparing non-confidential versions of all the documents in question proved difficult, the Commission could have used the second method, that of sending to the applicant a list of documents marked 'V'.
Kommissionen fremsendte dernæst ved skrivelse af 13. marts 1990 sagsøgeren en meddelelse af klagepunkter, og sagsøgeren fremkom med sine skriftlige bemærkninger hertil.
In that case, the applicant could have requested access to specific documents contained in the Commission's 'files'.
Kommissionen anmodede sagsøgeren om at deltage i en høring om de overtrædelser, som sagsøgeren og ICI havde begået.
Before granting it access to documents which may have contained business secrets, the Commission could have contacted ICI in order to ascertain which passages referred to sensitive information and was therefore to be kept from the applicant.
Sagsøgeren afviste at deltage i denne høring.
It could then have had access to the documents with ICI's business secrets deleted.
I sin besvarelse forklarede Kommissionen, at disse dokumenter hverken indeholdt nye oplysninger for sagsøgeren eller noget, der kunne støtte de klagepunkter, der var rejst mod de pågældende virksomheder. Kommissionen erklærede imidlertid at ville tage hensyn til det af sagsøgeren fremførte.
As regards the third part of the plea nondisclosure to the applicant of other documents emanating from ICI - it should be repeated that it was not for the Commission to decide on its own whether the documents seized in the investigation of the present cases were exculpatory or not.
Sagsøgeren protesterede mod den brug, som Kommissionen under høringen havde gjort af visse dokumenter eller dele heraf, som ikke optrådte i de sagsakter, som var blevet meddelt sagsøgeren.
The principle of equality of arms and its corollary in competition cases, namely the principle that the information available to the Commission and the defence should be the same, required that the applicant should be able to assess the probative value of the documents emanating from ICI which the Commission had not annexed to the statement of objections.
Sagsøgeren anmodede Kommissionen om i fuldt omfang at drage omsorg for, at retten til kontradiktion blev iagttaget.
It is not acceptable that when the Commission investigated the infringement it was the only party which had the documents contained in 'files' 39 to 49 (ICI) and was therefore able to decide all by itself whether or not to use them in order to prove the infringement, whereas the applicant had no access to them and so could not decide whether or not to use them in its defence.
Efter afslutningen af den ovenfor beskrevne procedure vedtog Kommissionen beslutning 91/297/EØF.
Consequently, the Commission ought at least to have drawn up a sufficiently detailed list enabling the applicant to assess whether it was appropriate to request access to particular ICI documents which might be useful in the defence of the two parties to the alleged concerted practice.
Denne beslutning fastslår i det væsentlige, at sagsøgeren og ICI fra 1. januar 1973 til begyndelsen af 1989 har deltaget i en samordnet praksis om opdeling af det vesteuropæiske sodamarked ved at forbeholde det kontinentale Vesteuropa for sagsøgeren og Det Forenede Kongerige samt Irland for ICI; følgelig pålægges de ved beslutningen hver en bøde på 7 mio. ECU.
Since the applicant cannot be required to show the probative value of particular documents which may exculpate ICI - of which, in the absence of a list, it has no knowledge — the possibility that such documents may exist must be a sufficient ground for finding that the rights of the defence have been infringed. It follows that a second infringement of the rights of the defence has been established.
Det er ubestridt, at den beslutning, der blev meddelt sagsøgeren, ikke forinden var blevet stadfæstet ved underskrift af Kommissionens formand og generalsekretær som bestemt i Kommissionens forretningsorden.
As regards questions of confidentiality, the applicant had to be able to identify the specific document from ICI which was claimed to be non-accessible in order to be able to discuss with ICI whether it was prepared to waive confidentiality.
Anbringendet om tusidesættelse af retten til kontradiktion ved Kommissionens påståede brug af
It follows from the foregoing considerations that the confidential treatment which documents and/or the list to be provided to the applicant may have required in no way justified the
Idet Kommissionen gik ud fra, at ICI efterfølgende havde fremsendt sagsøgeren kopi af de omhandlede dokumenter med udeladelse af de fortrolige dele, gav den sagsøgeren mulighed for
The Court is aware that, as the Commission stated at the hearing, the preparation of lists and the protection of business secrets which may be needed before granting 'access to the file'
dette med et dybere kendskab til sagens akter end sagsøgeren.
The third part of the plea should therefore be upheld.
dokumenter, der ikke er meddelt sagsøgeren, og Kommissionens nægtelse af at give sagsøgeren adgang til visse dokumenter, som kunne tjene til dennes forsvar

Det tilføjes, at en sådan tilsidesættelse af retten til kontradiktion er ganske objektiv og ikke afhænger af god eller ond tro hos Kommissionens tjenestemænd.

Med hensyn til andet led i anbringendet om den manglende meddelelse til sagsøgeren af visse dokumenter finder Retten, at det fremgår af det foregående, at en del af de dokumenter, som ikke er blevet meddelt sagsøgeren, kunne støtte dennes indsigelser.

I dette tilfælde kan Kommissionen ikke begrunde sit fuldstændige afslag på at ville udsende dokumenterne med, at sagsøgeren og ICI i de nævnte skrivelser har anmodet om, at deres dokumenter behandles fortroligt.
Administrative procedure which the applicant and CFK were alleged to have committed.
Såfremt beskyttelsen af ICI's forretningshemmeligheder eller af andre ømtålelige oplysninger under udarbejdelsen af alle de omhandlede dokumenter havde vist sig vanskelig, kunne Kommissionen anvende den anden metode, dvs. fremsende sagsøgeren en fortegnelse over dokumenterne med journalnr.
The applicant submitted its written observations on that statement of objections and the Commission invited the applicant to take part in a hearing.
V. I så fald havde sagsøgeren kunnet anmode om aktindsigt i specifikke dokumenter i Kommissionens »sagsakter«.
The applicant declined that invitation.
Før Kommissionen gav sagsøgeren adgang til dokumenter, som muligvis kunne indeholde forretningshemmeligheder, kunne den henvende sig til ICI for at vurdere, hvilke passager, der vedrørte ømtålelige oplysninger, og som følgelig
Following investigations carried out without warning in 1989 at the premises of the main soda-ash producers in the Community and supplemented by requests for information, the Commission sent to the applicant a statement of objections in several parts concerning inter alia an infringement of Article 85 of the EEC Treaty,
Formålet med en sådan fortegnelse indebærer, at dens angivelser skal give sagsøgeren tilstrækkeligt præcise oplysninger, så at denne med kendskab til sagen kan afgøre, om de opregnede dokumenter er relevante for sagsøgerens forsvar.
Commissioners becomes fixed in the languages which are binding in order that, in the event of a dispute, it can be verified that the texts notified or published correspond precisely to the text adopted and so with the intention of the author.
den kunne således alene beslutte sig til, hvorvidt de skulle anvendes med henblik på at bevise overtrædelsen, mens sagsøgeren ikke havde adgang til disse dokumenter og følgelig ikke kunne tage den tilsvarende beslutning om, hvorvidt de skulle anvendes under forsvaret.
In the present case, authentication of the contested decision was carried out after notification of the decision.
Det følger heraf, at også den anden tilsidesættelse af retten til kontradiktion er bevist.
Irregular authentication of the act adopted by the Commission
Det fremgår heraf, at den fortrolige behandling, som de dokumenter og/eller den fortegnelse, som sagsøgeren bør have, eventuelt skal undergives, ikke på nogen måde kan begrunde Kommissionens fuldstændige afslag på fremsendelse.
It should be pointed out that it is the mere failure to observe the essential procedural requirement in question which constitutes that infringement.
Følgelig må andet led i anbringendet tages til følge, og den anfægtede beslutning annulleres i det omfang, den vedrører sagsøgeren.
It should be recalled that under the Commission's Rules of Procedure the acts adopted by the Commission shall be authenticated by the signatures of the President and the Executive Secretary, the texts of such acts shall be annexed to the minutes in which their adoption is recorded, and the President shall, as may be required, notify acts adopted by the Commission to those to whom they are addressed.
Retten er klar over, at udarbejdelsen af fortegnelser og den eventuelle beskyttelse af forretningshemmeligheden, der må gå forud for »adgang til sagens akter«, medfører en betragtelig administrativ byrde for Kommissionens tjenestegrene, hvilket denne har gjort gældende under retsmødet. Imidlertid kan hensynet til overholdelsen af princippet om retten til kontradiktion ikke strande på tekniske og retlige vanskeligheder, som en effektiv administration må og skal kunne overvinde.
With regard to the various stages of the abovementioned procedure, the Court considers that the very scheme of those rules implies a sequence of events whereby first, pursuant to the first paragraph of the provision, acts are adopted by the college of Commissioners and then authenticated before being notified, as appropriate, to the persons concerned, pursuant to the third paragraph, and possibly published in the Official Journal.
Om tredje led af anbringendet om den manglende meddelelse til sagsøgeren af andre dokumenter fra ICI må atter bemærkes, at det ikke tilkommer Kommissionen alene at afgøre, om de dokumenter, der er fundet under tilrettelæggelsen af de foreliggende sager, kan diskulpere de berørte virksomheder.
Regardless of the considerations set out above, it should be noted that authentication was carried out in this case after the action was brought. Once an originating application has been lodged, it is not possible for an institution to cure a material defect vitiating the contested decision simply by taking the step of retroactive regularization.
Princippet om den processuelle ligestilling af parterne og dette princips betydning i konkurrencesager, nemlig at Kommissionen og den, der skal forsvare sig, må have adgang til samme mængde oplysninger, kræver, at sagsøgeren kan vurdere beviskraften af de dokumenter, der hidrører fra ICI, som Kommissionen ikke havde vedlagt meddelelsen af klagepunkter.
That is especially true where, as in the present case, a decision is involved which imposes a fine on the undertaking concerned. Regularization carried out after an action has been brought would remove ex post facto any basis for a plea of non-authentication prior to notification.
Retten finder det utilstedeligt, at da Kommissionen traf afgørelse om overtrædelsen, var kun den i besiddelse af dokumenterne i »sagsmapperne« 39-49 (ICI), og
The Court considers that such an approach would, once again, impair legal certainty and be contrary to the interests of persons affected by a decision imposing a fine.
Såfremt sagsøgeren nemlig ved hjælp af en passende fortegnelse havde fundet frem til dokumenter fra ICI, der var diskulperende for de to virksomheder, havde sagsøgeren eventuelt kunnet påvirke Kommissionens vurderinger under den administrative procedure.
In effect, that provision is the consequence of the Commission's obligation to take the steps necessary to enable the complete text of acts adopted by the college of Commissioners to be identified with certainty.
Det tredje led i anbringendet må således tages til følge.
That authentication was therefore intended to guarantee legal certainty by ensuring that the text adopted by the college of

(Competition Abuse of a dominant position Commission's rules of procedure — Authentication of a decision adopted by the college of Commissioners) (First Chamber, extended composition)
Denne beslutning blev meddelt sagsøgeren ved rekommanderet skrivelse.
At the end of the abovementioned procedure the Commission adopted Decision 91/299/EEC.
Det er ubestridt, at den beslutning, der blev meddelt sagsøgeren, ikke forinden var blevet stadfæstet ved underskrift af Kommissionens formand og generalsekretær som bestemt i artikel 12, stk. 1, i Kommissionens forretningsorden.
In substance, the decision finds that the applicant held a dominant position on the continental Western European market for soda-ash and had abused that position, within the meaning of Article 86 of the Treaty, from about 1983, and consequently imposes on it a fine of ECU 20 million.
Efter afslutningen af den ovenfor beskrevne procedure vedlog Kommissionen beslutning 91/298/EØF.
The decision was notified to the applicant by registered letter.
Denne beslutning fastslår i det væsentlige, at sagsøgeren og CFK fra omkring 1987, og indtil beslutningen blev vedtaget, er indgået i en aftale om opdeling af det tyske
It is apparent from the documents before the Court that point 63 of the decision does not form part of the notified text and that, as regards the numbering of that text, point 64 immediately follows point 62.
Opmærksomheden henledes, at efter Kommissionens forretningsorden underskrives de beslutninger, Kommissionen vedtager, af formanden og generalsekretæren, at ordlyden af
The applicant submitted its written observations on that statement of objections and the Commission invited the applicant to take part in a hearing. The applicant declined that invitation.
disse beslutninger vedføjes mødereferatet af det kommissionsmøde, hvorunder deres vedtagelse er meddelt, og at formanden, for så vidt det er nødvendigt, giver meddelelse om de af Kommissionen vedtagne beslutninger.
It is common ground that the text of the notified decision had not been previously authenticated by the signatures of the President of the Commission or its Executive Secretary in accordance with the Commission's Rules of Procedure.
vedtagne, meddelte og offentliggjorte tekster indeholder uoverensstemmelser, og i bekræftende fald hvorvidt de sidstnævnte er afgørende, hvorfor det er uden betydning, at de forskelle i ordlyden, som sagsøgeren har påpeget henholdsvis »for Kommissionen« og »på Kommissionens vegne« — må betragtes som værende uvæsentlige.
As regards the first part of the plea, reference should be made to the wording of the Commission's Rules of Procedure, which state that the acts adopted by the Commission shall be authenticated in the language or languages in which they are binding by the signatures of the President and the Executive Secretary, that the texts of such acts shall be annexed to the minutes in which their adoption is recorded, and that the President shall, as may be required, notify acts adopted by the Commission to those to whom they are addressed.
Hvad angår de forskellige stadier i den nævnte fremgangsmåde, finder Retten, at selve opbygningen af dette regelsæt må indebære et forløb, hvorefter beslutningerne i overensstemmelse med bestemmelsens stk. 1 først vedtages af kommissærkollegiet og dernæst stadfæstes, før de i givet fald meddeles de pågældende i medfør af bestemmelsens stk. 3 og eventuelt offentliggøres i De Europæiske Fællesskabers Tidende.
With regard to the various stages of the abovementioned procedure, the Court considers that the very scheme of those rules implies a sequence of events whereby first, pursuant to the first paragraph of the provision, acts are adopted by the college of Commissioners and then authenticated before being notified, as appropriate, to the persons concerned, pursuant to the third paragraph, and possibly published in the Official Journal.
Stadfæstelsen af en beslutning skal derfor nødvendigvis ligge forud for dens meddelelse.
Consequently, authentication of an act must necessarily precede its notification.
Uafhængigt af de ovenfor fremsatte betragtninger bemærkes, at stadfæstelsen i dette tilfælde er sket efter sagens anlæg.
As regards the second part of the plea, it should be noted that, according to the Commission's replies in response to a written question put by the Court, point 63 was included in the text of the draft decision approved by the college.
Det er udelukket, at en institution efter stævningens indgivelse ved en simpel berigtigelse med tilbagevirkende kraft skulle kunne ophæve en væsentlig mangel ved den anfægtede beslutning.
The Commission also explains that after the college adopted the decision some purely formal amendments were made to the decision with regard to the line spacing and the typographical characters used, which necessitated a new lay-out for the document.
Dette gælder i særdeleshed, når det som i nærværende sag drejer sig om en beslutning, hvorved den pågældende virksomhed pålægges en bøde.
It is probable that point 63 disappeared when the document was then laid out.
En berigtigelse, der foretages efter sagens anlæg, ville nemlig med tilbagevirkende kraft fratage anbringendet vedrørende manglende stadfæstelse forud for meddelelsen ethvert grundlag.
Since the paragraph had been approved by the Commission and was therefore part of the decision adopted, the Secretariat-General of the Commission was obliged, as soon as it was discovered that the paragraph was missing from the notified text, to send it to the undertaking to which the decision was addressed.
Retten finder endnu engang, at et sådant resultat ville stride mod retssikkerheden og hensynet til de retsundergivne, der ved beslutning pålægges en sanktion.
This explanation is confirmed by the wording of the authentication subsequently appended to the text of the decision, which stated that 'point 63 set out in the annex hereto was adopted by the Commission at its 1 040th meeting ...'.
Følgelig har den stadfæstelse, som skete et år efter sagens anlæg, ikke ophævet den mangel, der skyldes overtrædelsen af en væsentlig formforskrift.
Even though that authentication has not been affected in accordance with the Commission's Rules of Procedure, the Court considers that it should be admitted as evidence to show that the college actually adopted point 63.
Denne rækkefølge, der følger af en systematisk fortolkning med udgangspunkt i ordlyden, understøttes af formålet med bestemmelsen om stadfæstelse.
That sequence, which follows from a literal and schematic interpretation, is confirmed by the purpose of the rule on authentication.
Denne bestemmelse udspringer nemlig af Kommissionens forpligtelse til at træffe de foranstaltninger, der gør det muligt med sikkerhed at identificere den fulde ordlyd af retsakter vedtaget af Kommissionen som kollegial enhed.
In effect, that provision is the consequence of the Commission's obligation to take the steps necessary to enable the complete text of acts adopted by the college of Commissioners to be identified with certainty.
Stadfæstelsen har således til formål at sikre retssikkerheden ved på originalsprogene at fastnagle den tekst, der er vedtaget af Kommissionen som kollegial enhed, og således gøre det muligt i tilfælde af tvist at undersøge, om de tekster, der er meddelt og offentliggjort, er fuldt ud i overensstemmelse med den vedtagne tekst og således med ophavsmandens vilje.
That authentication was therefore intended to guarantee legal certainty by ensuring that the text adopted by the college of Commissioners becomes fixed in the languages which are binding in order that, in the event of a dispute, it can be verified that the texts notified or published correspond precisely to the text adopted and so with the intention of the author.
Stadfæstelsen udgør således en væsentlig formforskrift.
That authentication constituted an essential procedural requirement.
I denne sag har stadfæstelsen af den omhandlede beslutning fundet sted, efter at beslutningen var blevet meddelt.
In the present case, authentication of the contested decision was carried out after notification of the decision.
Følgelig er en væsentlig formforskrift overtrådt.
Consequently, there was an infringement of an essential procedural requirement.
Det bemærkes, at den manglende overholdelse af den omhandlede væsentlige formforskrift i sig selv udgør en overtrædelse.
However, the fact that the notification was vitiated by such a defect cannot of itself lead to the annulment of the decision; its only possible consequence is that the Commission may not rely on the point not notified.
Denne er således uafhængig af spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt de
The second part of the plea is therefore unfounded.
Det fremgår heraf, at det første led i anbringendet om den ikke-forskriftsmæssige stadfæstelse af den af Kommissionen vedtagne beslutning, må tages til følge.
It should be pointed out that it is the mere failure to observe the essential procedural requirement in question which constitutes that infringement.
Kommissionens beslutning 91/298/EØF af 19. december 1990 om en procedure i henhold til EØF-traktatens artikel 85 (IV/33.133-C: Soda - Solvay, CFK) annulleres.
