Næsten hver eneste voksne dansker har et Dankort, og dentypiske kortindehaver har mere end ét betalingskort.
Payment cards were extensively used in Denmark: nearly all adults had a Dankort and typical usersroutinely had more than one payment card.
Danskerne er blandt dem i Europa, der bruger betalingskort mest — mindst en gang om ugen — mensgennemsnittet i undersøgelsens lande er under to gange om måneden.
The Danes were among the Europeans who used payment cards most, since they made card payments atleast once a week, whereas the average in the countries surveyed was less than twice a month.
Det hænger bl.a. sammen med, atforbrugerne ikke skal betale for benyttelse af Dankortet.
This canbe explained among other things by the fact that consumers do not have to pay for using the Dankort.
Konkurrencerådet har også offentliggjort en rapport om »Sport i TV«.
The Competition Council also published a report on television sports coverage.
Rapporten skal ses på baggrund afde meget kraftige prisstigninger på tv-rettigheder på store sportsbegivenheder i de senere år. Rapportenindeholder følgende konkurrenceretlige anbefalinger:
The report should beseen against the background of the steep increases in the prices fetched by television broadcasting rightsto major sports events in recent years.
Der skal være en klar adskillelse af sports- og erhvervsaktiviteter.
A clear distinction should be drawn between sporting activities and commercial activities.
Der bør ikke ydes offentlige tilskud tilsportsklubbernes erhvervsaktiviteter.
There is nojustification for subsidising the commercial activities of sports clubs with public funds.
Omfordeling af indtægter fra eliteklubber til breddeidræt kan være acceptabel, men den må ikke forvridekonkurrencen.
Redistribution of income from top clubs to grassroots sporting activity may be allowed but should notdistort competition.
Sportens egen regulering bør tage hensyn til, at topidrætsfolkene og -klubberne skal kunne konkurrereinternationalt.
Self-regulation of individual sports should enable high-ranking athletes and clubs to competeinternationally.
Rettigheder til tv-udsendelser skal udbydes med passende mellemrum til alle interesserede på lige vilkår.
Television broadcasting rights should be offered at suitable intervals to all interested parties on equalterms.
Sportsbegivenheder, der er national ejendom, skal kunne ses af hele befolkningen, men ingen tv-stationermå afskæres fra at erhverve rettigheder.
Sports events of national interest should be able to be viewed by all members of the public, but notelevision station should be prevented from acquiring the rights to such events.
Den 23. juli 1999 anmodede de spanske myndigheder for første gang om anvendelse af artikel 9 i Rådetsforordning (EØF) nr. 4064/89 i forbindelse med sag IV/M.1555 Heineken/Cruzcampo.

Den konkurrencestridige praksis bestod i atpålægge hoteller og restaurationer — individuelt og kollektivt — urimelige takster for anvendelse af tvapparater i hotellerne. Domstolen idømte bøder på op til 45 mio. ESP (270 000 EUR).
THE APPLICATION OF COMPETITION RULES IN THE MEMBER STATES321 consisted of a consultation system whereby forest owners attempted to reach agreement with loggingenterprises on prices prior to negotiations.
Konkurrencerådet afviste MTK’s appel afkonkurrencemyndighedens (Kilpailuvirasto) negative afgørelse, der var begrundet i, at det ikke varpåvist, at et sådant samarbejde forbedrede effektiviteten i sektoren for handel med træ.
The Competition Council dismissed MTK’s appeal against therejection of its application by the Competition Authority (Kilpailuvirasto) on the grounds that there wasno evidence that such cooperation had improved activity in the timber trade.
Med denneafgørelse bringes et mangeårigt generelt forhandlingssystem til ophør.
In practice, this decision putan end to an overall negotiation system that had been in operation for many years in Finland.
Konkurrencerådet vedtog den 14.12.2000 en afgørelse i en sag, hvor Päijät-Hämeen Puhelinyhdistys(PHP) havde indrømmet prisnedslag(201).
On 14 December, the Competition Council ruled on the case involving reductions granted to owners by Päijät-Hämeen Puhelinyhdistys (PHP)(201).
Efter indledningsvis at have konstateret, at teleselskabet PHPhavde en dominerende stilling inden for lokale fastnetteletjenester, fandt konkurrencerådet, atvirksomhedens prisnedslag svarede til en loyalitetsrabat, og at den kunne have en afhængighedsskabendeeffekt.
After first finding that PHP enjoyed a dominant position inlocal telecommunications using a fixed network, the Council took the view that the reductions werecomparable to fidelity discounts and could be regarded as creating a dependency effect.
I afgørelsen konstateres det, at andelsvirksomhed og princippet om intern medbestemmelse ikkebemyndiger til misbrug af en dominerende stilling, og at en sådan virksomhed såvel som den yderligeregodtgørelse til kunderne, som også er medlemmer, skal tilrettelægges på en måde, der ikke medførerforbudte eller negative konkurrencebegrænsninger.
The decisionstates that operation as a cooperative and the principle of profit-sharing do not authorise the abuse of adominant position and that the activity, as well as the additional refund to customers who are alsomembers, must be organised in such a way as to avoid creating prohibited or harmful restrictions ofcompetition.
Konkurrencerådet pålagde PHP at bringe dennepraksis til ophør og fastsatte en tvangsbøde på 2 000 000 FIM.
The Competition Council ordered PHP to put an end to the practice and set a periodicpenalty payment of FIM 2 million.
Der blev ikke pålagt andre former forbøde.
It did not impose any fine.
Konkurrencemyndigheden fandt i sin afgørelse af 12.1.2000, at Radiolinja og Sonera hverken hverisær eller tilsammen havde en dominerende stilling på området indenlandske mobile radiokommunikationstjenester.
In a decision taken on 12 January, the Competition Authority found that the national mobile phoneoperators Radiolinja and Sonera did not enjoy an individual or collective dominant position.
I forbindelse med undersøgelsen fandt konkurrencemyndigheden heller ikke belæg for,at Sonera’s takster for indenlandsk roaming havde negative følger for konkurrencen. Anmodningen i

Restrictive practices and abuses of a dominant position
På kartelområdet har konkurrencerådet kun anvendt EU’s konkurrenceret i en enkelt sag, som drejede sigom praksis i frugt- og grøntsagssektoren.
With regard to restrictive practices, the Competition Council applied Community law in one case only,concerning fruit and vegetables.
Konkurrencerådet fandt, at Coordination Rurale du Lot et Garonne havde overtrådt bestemmelserne i artikel 7 i anordningen af 1. december 1986 samt artikel 81EF ved bl.a. at have boykottet importerede jordbær fra Spanien og pålagde en bøde på 150 000 FRF.L’Association Syndicale Coordination Rurale har anlagt annullationssøgsmål over for denne afgørelsemed den begrundelse, at den var blevet forvekslet med en anden juridisk person, Association Coordination Rurale. Appeldomstolen i Paris ændrede konkurrencerådets afgørelse og frikendte Association Syndicale Coordination Rurale.
It found that Coordination Rurale du Lot et Garonne (a regional farmers’union) had infringed Article 7 of the order of 1 December 1986 and Article 81 of the EC Treaty, amongother things by organising a boycott of strawberries imported from Spain, and fined it FRF 150 000.
I en afgørelse vedrørende Port Autonome de Paris fandt konkurrencerådet, at en sag, der var anlagt af Société d’activités et de réalisations d’aménagements d’entrepôts et de locaux divers (SERAEL) måtteafvises, idet den omhandlede praksis indebar offentligretlige prærogativer og henhørte underadministrative jurisdiktioner.
The Paris Appeal Court set aside the Competition Council’s decision and exonerated the Association Syndicale Coordination Rurale.

The Frenchcompetition authorities had on 20 December 1999 requested the Commission to apply Article 9 of theregulation in order to enable them to examine 99 local markets that were liable to raise competitionconcerns.
Ved beslutning af 5. juli 2000 og efter udtalelsefra konkurrencerådet godkendte økonomiministeren transaktionen på betingelse af, at selskabet Carrefour afgav visse tilsagn (frasalg af supermarkeder og hypermarkeder i de områder, hvor Carrefourhavde en dominerende stilling på markedet for dagligvaredetailhandel).
By order of 5 July, after consulting the Competition Council, the Minister for Economic Affairs cleared the transaction subject to the fulfilment of undertakings given by Carrefour (divestmentof supermarkets and hypermarkets in areas where Carrefour was in a dominant position on the staplegoods retail market).

Den irske konkurrencemyndighed opnåede sin første strafferetlige dom i 2000.
The Irish Competition Authority secured its first criminal conviction in 2000.
Konkurrencemyndigheden retsforfulgte et olieselskab for prisaftaler på grundlag af konkurrenceloven fra 1996 (somændrer den tidligere lov); selskabet blev kendt skyldig i to anklagepunkter.
The authority prosecutedan oil company for price fixing under the Competition (Amendment) Act 1996 and the company wasconvicted on two charges.
Inden for rammerne af den decentrale anvendelse af artikel 81, stk. 1, og artikel 82 EF har konkurrenceog markedsmyndigheden de beføjelser, som den, i overensstemmelse med artikel 54 i lov nr. 52 af6. februar 1996 har, for så vidt angår gennemførelsen af den italienske konkurrencelovgivning.
In the context of the decentralised application of Articles 81(1) and 82 of the EC Treaty, the Competitionand Market Authority is empowered, pursuant to Article 54 of Act No 52 of 6 February 1996, to rely onthe powers and procedures available to it for the purpose of applying the national antitrust rules.
I 2000afsluttede den tre undersøgelsesprocedurer (Consorzio Industrie Fiammiferi, Stream/Telepiù, Aeroportidi Roma — takster for groundhandling), der var indledt på grundlag af EU-konkurrencereglerne.
In 2000,it terminated three sets of infringement proceedings (Consorzio Industrie Fiammiferi, Stream/Telepiù,Aeroporti di Roma — Tariffs for groundhandling services) in accordance with the Treaty rules.
Konkurrencemyndigheden havde indledt proceduren pågrundlag af en klage fra en tysk virksomhed, som gjorde gældende, at den, selv om det havde fåettilladelse til at markedsføre tændstikker, stødte på vanskeligheder med at komme ind på det italienskemarked for distribution af disse produkter.
It took the view in particular thatthe mere operation of the consortium was a means of maintaining in existence a horizontal structurebetween the operators in the sector which in practice prevented market entry by new competitors andrestructuring of enterprises already active on the market, despite the far-reaching changes that had takenplace in market forces.
Den tyske virksomhed klagede især over, at visse indehavereaf MGM havde afvist at forhandle dens produkter.
The national legislation setting up the consortium had therefore created anenvironment that was restricting competition and, using the power conferred on it to share productionbetween its member companies, the CIF had taken decisions in breach of Article 81(1).
Konkurrencemyndigheden fandt, at de beskrevneaftaler havde alvorlige negative virkninger for handelen inden for Fællesskabet.
The legislationconsequently had to be repealed by a court and/or any public administration in accordance with Articles 3(g) and 10 of the EC Treaty.
2.Hvad angår proceduren vedrørende virksomhederne Stream og Telepiù, der blev indledt pågrundlag af en klage fra Stream, fandt konkurrencemyndigheden, at Telepiù i flere henseender havdeovertrådt artikel 82 EF ved at have begrænset konkurrencen på det italienske marked for betalings-tv oguretmæssigt at have styrket sin dominerende stilling og derved at have gjort det vanskeligere og dyrerefor andre virksomheder (bl.a. fra andre EU-lande) at få adgang til markedet.
The Competition Authority also found that the CIF had engaged in behaviour which restrictedcompetition to a greater extent than was allowed by the legislation. In particular, the CIF and Consorzio Nazionale Attività Economico Distributiva Integrata (Conaedi) had concluded a framework agreement towhich a large number of operators of Magazzini di Generi di Monopolio (MGM) (sales outlets for goodscovered by the State monopoly) had subscribed, requiring them to source their supplies exclusively fromthe CIF.
Konkurrencemyndighedenfastslog, at Telepiù har en dominerende stilling, navnlig på grundlag af den store markedsandel,virksomheden længe har haft (hele markedet indtil udgangen af 1997, 93 % ved udgangen af 1998 og82 % ved udgangen af september 1999), graden af vertikal integration og dens autonome handlemådeover for konkurrenter, kunder og leverandører.
This prevented competitors from entering the market, in breach of Article 81(1) of the ECTreaty.
Forskellige former for praksis fra Telepiù’s side blev af konkurrencemyndigheden anset for at udgøre etmisbrug.
Documents collected during the investigation showed that the CIF had since 1994 been pursuing acommercial strategy aimed at entrenching its position on the market.
For det første havde virksomheden overtrådt artikel 82 EF ved fra 1998, ligeledes via de af denkontrollerede virksomheder at indgå eksklusive aftaler — gældende for en periode over tre år — omerhvervelse af rettigheder til krypterede transmissioner af en stor del af mesterskabskampene i første oganden division, navnlig mellem de mest populære fodboldhold.
As part of that strategy, it concludeda market-sharing agreement with Swedish Match SA (SM), the leading European producer, whereby thelatter refrained from entering the Italian market directly.
Telepiù forlængede — og fordoblederent faktisk — den hidtidige varighed af eksklusive rettigheder til fodboldkampe og hindrede såledeskonkurrencen mellem betalings-tv-selskaberne om de mest interessante udsendelser i et særligt langttidsrum.
It also implemented a commercial policydesigned to strengthen its trading links with the MGM distribution network by signing a frameworkagreement with Conaedi to ensure the exclusivity of that commercial channel.
Endvidere fandt konkurrencemyndigheden, at en bestemmelse i nogle af de ovennævnte aftaler af tre årsvarighed eller derover var konkurrenceskadelig.
The combined result of these strategies (the horizontal agreement with SM and the vertical agreementwith Conaedi and the MGM network) effectively enabled the CIF to prevent competing firms fromentering the market in the sale of matches and to retain a market share of at least 90 %, even four yearsafter the Italian market had been opened up to imports.
Bestemmelsen gav Telepiù Spa og de af denkontrollerede virksomheder forkøbsret til eksklusive rettigheder i perioden efter udløbet af denoprindelige aftale.
The Competition Authority initiated proceedingsafter receiving a complaint from a German company which reported that, although it had obtainedpermission to market matches, it had difficulty in penetrating the Italian market in the distribution ofsuch products.
Konkurrencemyndigheden fastslog, at denne bestemmelse gav virksomheden, som iforvejen havde en dominerende stilling, mulighed for — også efter aftalens udløb — at hindrekonkurrenter i at få adgang til de mest interessante udsendelser.
The company complained in particular that certain MGM operators refused to distributeits products. The Competition Authority found that the above agreements had a highly detrimental effecton intra-Community trade.
BERETNING OM ANVENDELSEN AF KONKURRENCEREGLERNE I DEN EUROPÆISKE UNION indsat bestemmelser, som bl.a. forpligtede Stream Spa til at gennemføre promotions- og reklameforanstaltninger for disse produkter »i overensstemmelse med Telepiù-koncernens forretningspolitik« og atkræve en pris for kabel-tv-abonnementer, der er »stort set identisk med den pris, Telepiù-koncernen kræverfor satellit-tv-programmerne og fodboldpakkerne«.
The third practice which the Competition Authority regarded as an abuse of a dominant position caughtby Article 82 of the EC Treaty was the inclusion, both on its own account and via companies controlledby Telepiù, in the technico-commercial contract for the cable distribution of football programmes andpackages under the Telepiù trade name concluded in 1996 with Stream, of clauses which, among otherthings, placed the latter under the obligation to promote and market the products ‘in accordance with thecommercial policies’ of the Telepiù group and to charge a cable subscription ‘virtually identical to thefee charged by the Telepiù group for football programmes and packages broadcast by satellite’.
På grundlag af oplysninger, som blev tilvejebragtunder den indledende undersøgelse, der blev iværksat på grundlag af oplysninger fra virksomheder indenfor lufttransport og groundhandling, fastslog konkurrencemyndigheden, at den rabatordning for taksternefor groundhandling, som Aeroporti di Roma indførte i 1998, og som var koblet sammen med værdien afde købte ydelser og leverandøraftalernes varighed, kunne hindre konkurrenters adgang til detjenestemarkeder, der for nylig var blevet liberaliseret i henhold til EU-direktiv 96/67/EF.
On the basis of the facts that came to light during the investigation, which wasinitiated in response to information provided by firms in the air transport and groundhandling servicesindustry, the authority took the view that the system of discounts on tariffs for groundhandling servicesadopted by Aeroporti di Roma in 1998, based on quantities purchased and the duration of supplyagreements, was liable to hinder competitors’ access to markets that had recently been liberalised under Community Directive 96/67/EC.
Konkurrencemyndigheden anså det endvidere for konkurrencestridigt og ulovligt, at Aeroporti di Roma,ved en uberettiget henholdende adfærd i 1998 hindrede selskabet Meridiana i at levere egneforpladshandlings- og flyklargøringsydelser via det af Meridiana kontrollerede selskab Aviation Services.Konkurrencemyndigheden fandt, at de lovgivningsmæssige og administrative bestemmelser, somlufthavnsforvaltningsselskabet lagde til grund for sin praksis, ikke kunne udelukke, at der var tale om enovertrædelse af konkurrencereglerne.
The Competition Authority also considered that Aeroporti di Roma had acted in an anticompetitive andunlawful manner by preventing in 1998, through unjustifiable delay, the company Meridiana fromproviding its own apron supervision and aircraft positioning services via its subsidiary Aviation Services.It took the view that the legislative and administrative framework adduced by the airport operator in anattempt to justify its conduct did not enable it to escape the fact that it had breached the competitionrules.
Den fandt derimod ikke, at Aeroporti di Roma havde misbrugt sindominerende stilling inden for forvaltning af lufthavnsinfrastrukturerne til skade for udbydere afrepræsentations- og overvågningsydelser ved mellemlandinger, idet de anfægtede betingelser vedrørendeunderkoncession i lokale lufthavne, som potentielt var konkurrencebegrænsende, aldrig havde fundetanvendelse.
Lastly, it found that Aeroporti di Roma had not abused its dominant position in the management ofairport infrastructure to the detriment of suppliers of ground representation and supervision servicessince the conditions for the grant of subconcessions for local airports, which had been challenged andcreated potential restrictions of competition, had never been applied.
