As indicated in DG Competition’s Best Practices on the conduct of EC merger control proceedings, notifying parties are advised, in pre-notification, to disclose information relating to all potentially affected markets even if they ultimately consider that they are not affected and notwithstanding that they may take a particular view in relation to the issue of market definition.
Kot je navedeno v priročniku GD za konkurenco o najboljših praksah pri vodenju postopkov nadzora nad združitvami v ES, se priglasiteljem priporoča, da v obdobju pred priglasitvijo razkrijejo informacije v zvezi z vsemi potencialno prizadetimi trgi, tudi če menijo, da ti niso prizadeti, in ne glede na njihov morebiti specifični pogled na vprašanje opredelitve trgov.
In this regard, as set out in introductory Parts 1.2 and 1.4(g), before notification, the notifying party or parties may want to discuss with the Commission to what extent dispensation (waivers) to provide some of the requested information (in this context, for certain affected markets, or for certain other markets as described under Section 6.4 would be appropriate.
Kot je omenjeno v točkah 1.2 in 1.4(g) uvodnega dela, se bodo morda želeli v zvezi s tem pred priglasitvijo posvetovati s Komisijo o primernem obsegu oprostitve obvezne predložitve nekaterih zahtevanih podatkov (opustitev) (v tem kontekstu za nekatere prizadete trge ali za nekatere druge trge, kot je opisano v oddelku 6.4).
Products (or services) are called complementary when, for example, the use (or consumption) of one product essentially implies the use (or consumption) of the other product, such as for staple machines and staples, and printers and printer cartridges.
Proizvodi (ali storitve) se obravnavajo kot dopolnjujoči, če na primer uporaba (ali poraba) enega proizvoda vključuje uporabo (ali porabo) drugega proizvoda, kot so spenjači in sponke ter tiskalniki in tiskalni vložki.
Examples of products belonging to such a range would be whisky and gin sold to bars and restaurants, and different materials for packaging a certain category of goods sold to producers of such goods.
Primeri proizvodov takšne palete bi bili viski in brinjevec, ki se prodajata v točilnicah in restavracijah, ter različni materiali za embaliranje določenih kategorij blaga, ki se prodajajo proizvajalcem takšnega blaga.
Without prejudice to Article 4(2) of the Implementing Regulation.
Brez poseganja v člen 4(2) Izvedbene uredbe.
The value and volume of a market must reflect output less exports plus imports for the geographic areas under consideration.
Vrednost in obseg trga morata odražati končno proizvodnjo, pri čemer se odšteje izvoz in prišteje uvoz za obravnavana geografska območja.
As set out in points 1.2 and 1.4(g) in the introductory part, before notification, the notifying party or parties may want to discuss with the Commission to what extent dispensation (waivers) to provide some of the requested information (in this context, value- or volume-based data for market size and shares) would be appropriate.
Kot je omenjeno v točkah 1.2. in 1.4.(g) uvodnega dela se bodo morda želeli priglasitelji pred priglasitvijo posvetovati s Komisijo o primernem obsegu oprostitve obvezne predložitve nekaterih zahtevanih podatkov (opustitev) (v tem kontekstu podatkov na podlagi vrednosti ali obsega za velikosti trga in tržne deleže).
As set out in points 1.2 and 1.4(g) in the introductory part, before notification, the notifying party or parties may want to discuss with the Commission to what extent dispensation (waivers) to provide some of the requested information (in this context, capacity data) would be appropriate.
Kot je omenjeno v točkah 1.2. in 1.4.(g) uvodnega dela, se bodo morda želeli priglasitelji pred priglasitvijo posvetovati s Komisijo o primernem obsegu oprostitve obvezne predložitve nekaterih zahtevanih podatkov (opustitev) (v tem kontekstu podatkov o zmogljivosti).
A reason for a waiver could be that capacity does not appear relevant for competition in the market in question.
Razlog za opustitev bi lahko bil, da se zmogljivost ne zdi relevantna za konkurenco na zadevnem trgu.
Research and development intensity can for instance be illustrated by research and development expenditure as a proportion of turnover.
Intenzivnost raziskav in razvoja je na primer mogoče prikazati z odhodki za raziskave in razvoj kot deležem prometa.
As set out in points 1.2 and 1.4(g) in the introductory part, before notification, the notifying party or parties may want to discuss with the Commission to what extent dispensation (waivers) to provide some of the requested information would be appropriate.
Kot je omenjeno v točkah 1.2 in 1.4(g) uvodnega dela, se bodo morda želeli priglasitelji pred priglasitvijo posvetovati s Komisijo o primernem obsegu oprostitve obvezne predložitve nekaterih zahtevanih podatkov (opustitev).
The Commission may at any time, including for a complete notification of a concentration based on this Form CO, request a higher number of contact details for each of the categories of market participants identified in this Form CO and request contact details for other categories of market participants, for example suppliers.
Komisija lahko kadar koli, tudi kot pogoj za popolnost priglasitve koncentracije na podlagi tega obrazca CO, zahteva več podatkov o kontaktnih osebah za vsako kategorijo udeležencev na trgu, opredeljeno v tem obrazcu CO, ter zahteva podatke o kontaktnih osebah za druge kategorije udeležencev na trgu, kot so ponudniki.
It should be noted that submitting information in response to Section 9 is not required for a complete notification and is therefore voluntary.
Treba je poudariti, da predložitev podatkov za oddelek 9 ni obvezna za popolnost priglasitve in je zato prostovoljna.
The notifying party or parties are not required to offer any justification for not completing this section.
Priglasiteljem ni treba utemeljevati, zakaj tega oddelka niso izpolnili.
Failure to provide information on efficiencies will not be taken to imply that the proposed concentration does not create efficiencies or that the rationale for the concentration is to increase market power.
Če podatki o povečanju učinkovitosti niso podani, to ne pomeni, da predlagana koncentracija ne povečuje učinkovitosti ali da je namen koncentracije povečanje tržne moči.
Not providing the requested information on efficiencies at the notification stage does not preclude providing the information at a later stage.
Če zahtevani podatki o povečanju učinkovitosti niso podani ob priglasitvi, to ne izključuje njihovega poznejšega posredovanja.
However, the earlier the information is provided, the better the Commission can verify the efficiency claims.
Vendar velja, da prej, ko so podatki posredovani, bolje lahko Komisija preveri trditve o učinkovitosti.
For further guidance on the assessment of efficiencies, see the Commission Guidelines on the assessment of horizontal mergers under the Council Regulation on the control of concentrations between undertakings (OJ C 31, 5.2.2004, p. 5).

SHORT FORM CO FOR THE NOTIFICATION OF A CONCENTRATION PURSUANT TO REGULATION (EC) No 139/2004
POENOSTAVLJENI OBRAZEC CO ZA PRIGLASITEV KONCENTRACIJE V SKLADU Z UREDBO (ES) Št. 139/2004
The purpose of the Short Form CO
Namen poenostavljenega obrazca CO
The Short Form CO specifies the information that must be provided by the notifying parties when submitting a notification to the European Commission of certain proposed mergers, acquisitions or other concentrations that are unlikely to raise competition concerns.
V poenostavljenem obrazcu CO so podrobneje opredeljeni podatki, ki jih morajo zagotoviti priglasitelji, ko Evropski komisiji priglasijo nekatere predlagane združitve, prevzeme in druge koncentracije, ki verjetno ne bodo sporni z vidika konkurence.
Your attention is also drawn to the corresponding provisions of the Agreement on the European Economic Area [3] (hereinafter referred to as ‘the EEA Agreement’).
Opozarjamo vas tudi na ustrezne določbe Sporazuma o Evropskem gospodarskem prostoru [3] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Sporazum EGP).
In completing this Short Form CO, your attention is also drawn to the Commission’s Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations [4].As a general rule, the Short Form CO may be used for the purpose of notifying concentrations, where one of the following conditions is met:
Pri izpolnjevanju tega poenostavljenega obrazca CO vas opozarjamo še na Obvestilo Komisije o poenostavljenem postopku obravnave določenih koncentracij na podlagi Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 139/2004 [4].Praviloma se sme poenostavljeni obrazec CO uporabiti za priglasitev koncentracije, kadar je izpolnjen eden od naslednjih pogojev:
in the case of a joint venture, the joint venture has no, or negligible, actual or foreseen activities within the territory of the European Economic Area (EEA).
skupno podjetje ne izvaja in ne načrtuje dejavnosti na ozemlju Evropskega gospodarskega prostora (EGP) ali pa so te dejavnosti zanemarljive.
Such cases occur where:
Do takšnih primerov pride, če:
the turnover of the joint venture and/or the turnover of the contributed activities is less than EUR 100 million in the EEA territory at the time of notification; and
je promet skupnega podjetja in/ali promet prispevanih dejavnosti na ozemlju EGP v času priglasitve manjši od 100 milijonov EUR ter
the total value of the assets transferred to the joint venture is less than EUR 100 million in the EEA territory at the time of notification;
je skupna vrednost sredstev, prenesenih na skupno podjetje, v času priglasitve na ozemlju EGP nižja od 100 milijonov EUR,
two or more undertakings merge, or one or more undertakings acquire sole or joint control of another undertaking, provided that none of the parties to the concentration are engaged in business activities in the same product and geographic market [5], or in a product market which is upstream or downstream from a product market in which any other party to the concentration is engaged [6] [7];
dve ali več podjetij se združi ali pa eno ali več podjetij pridobi izključni ali skupni nadzor nad drugim podjetjem, če noben udeleženec koncentracije ne opravlja poslovnih dejavnosti na istem proizvodnem in geografskem trgu [5] ali na proizvodnem trgu, ki je v medsebojnem vertikalnem razmerju s proizvodnim trgom, na katerem posluje kateri koli drug udeleženec koncentracije [6] [7];
two or more undertakings merge, or one or more undertakings acquire sole or joint control of another undertaking and:
dve ali več podjetij se združi ali pa eno ali več podjetij pridobi izključni ali skupni nadzor nad drugim podjetjem in:
the combined market share of all the parties to the concentration that are engaged in business activities in the same product and geographic market (horizontal relationships) is less than 20 % [8]; and
skupni tržni delež vseh udeležencev koncentracije, ki opravljajo poslovne dejavnosti na istem proizvodnem in geografskem trgu (horizontalna razmerja), ne dosega 20 % [8] ter
none of the individual or combined market shares of all the parties to the concentration that are engaged in business activities in a product market which is upstream or downstream from a product market in which any other party to the concentration is engaged (vertical relationships) is at either level 30 % or more [9];
posamični ali skupni tržni deleži vseh udeležencev koncentracije, ki opravljajo poslovne dejavnosti na proizvodnem trgu, ki je v medsebojnem vertikalnem razmerju s proizvodnim trgom, na katerem posluje kateri koli drugi udeleženec koncentracije (vertikalna razmerja), ne dosegajo 30 % [9];
as regards the conditions in point 3(a) and (b), in the case of an acquisition of joint control, relationships that occur only between the undertakings acquiring joint control are not considered horizontal or vertical relationships for the purpose of this Short Form CO but may be dealt with as concentrations where an issue of coordination arises;
kar zadeva pogoja iz točke 3(a) in (b), se pri pridobitvi skupnega nadzora razmerja, ki obstajajo samo med podjetji, ki pridobijo skupni nadzor, ne štejejo za horizontalna ali vertikalna razmerja za namene tega poenostavljenega obrazca CO, vendar bodo morda obravnavana kot koncentracije, če bi lahko povzročila usklajevanje;
a party is to acquire sole control of an undertaking over which it already has joint control.
udeleženec pridobi izključni nadzor nad podjetjem, nad katerim že ima skupni nadzor.
The Commission is less likely to accept a Short Form CO if any of the special circumstances mentioned in the Commission’s guidelines on the assessment of horizontal mergers are present [13], for instance – but not limited to – where the market is already concentrated, in the case of a concentration that eliminates an important competitive force, in the case of a concentration between two important innovators, or in the case of a concentration involving a firm that has promising pipeline products.
Komisija bo v vsakem posameznem primeru odločila, ali je v posebnih okoliščinah obravnavanega primera povečanje stopnje tržne koncentracije, merjeno z delto Herfindahl-Hirschmanovega indeksa, takšno, da lahko sprejme poenostavljeni obrazec CO. Manj verjetno je, da bo Komisija sprejela poenostavljeni obrazec CO, če so prisotne katere koli od posebnih okoliščin, navedenih v njenih smernicah o presoji horizontalnih združitev [13]; na primer kadar je trg že koncentriran, kadar se s koncentracijo odpravlja pomemben konkurenčni dejavnik, kadar koncentracija združuje dva pomembna inovatorja, kadar koncentracija vključuje podjetje, ki načrtuje obetavne proizvode, in v nekaterih drugih primerih.
The Commission may always require a Form CO where it appears that the conditions for using the Short Form CO are not met, or, exceptionally where they are met, but the Commission determines, nonetheless, that a notification under Form CO is necessary for an adequate investigation of possible competition concerns.
Komisija lahko vedno zahteva priglasitev na obrazcu CO, če se zdi, da pogoji za uporabo poenostavljenega obrazca CO niso izpolnjeni, ali izjemoma, če kljub izpolnjenim pogojem oceni, da je priglasitev na obrazcu CO potrebna za ustrezno preučitev morebitne spornosti z vidika konkurence.
Examples of cases where a notification under Form CO may be necessary are concentrations where it is difficult to define the relevant markets (for example, in emerging markets or where there is no established case practice); where a party is a new or potential entrant, or an important patent holder; where it is not possible to adequately determine the parties’ market shares; in markets with high entry barriers, with a high degree of concentration or known competition problems; where at least two parties to the concentration are present in closely related neighbouring markets [14]; and in concentrations where an issue of coordination arises, as referred to in Article 2(4) of the Merger Regulation.
Priglasitev na podlagi obrazca CO je na primer lahko potrebna za koncentracije, pri katerih je težko opredeliti upoštevne trge (na primer na hitro rastočih trgih ali če ni uveljavljene prakse na tem področju); kadar je udeleženec nov ali možen tekmec ali imetnik pomembnih patentov; kadar tržnih deležev udeležencev ni mogoče ustrezno določiti; na trgih z visokimi vstopnimi ovirami, z visoko stopnjo koncentracije ali znanimi težavami na področju konkurence; kadar sta vsaj dva udeleženca koncentracije prisotna na tesno povezanih sosednjih trgih [14]; in kadar bi lahko prišlo do usklajevanja, kakor je navedeno v členu 2(4) Uredbe o združitvah.
Similarly, a Form CO may be required in the case of a party acquiring sole control of a joint venture in which it currently holds joint control, where the acquiring party and the joint venture, together, have a strong market position, or the joint venture and the acquiring party have strong positions in vertically related markets [15].
Podobno se lahko zahteva priglasitev na obrazcu CO, kadar udeleženec pridobi izključni nadzor nad skupnim podjetjem, v katerem ima trenutno skupni nadzor, če imata ta udeleženec in skupno podjetje skupaj močen položaj na trgu ali na vertikalno povezanih trgih [15].
Reversion to the normal procedure and notification under Form CO
Odločitev o uporabi rednega postopka in priglasitev na podlagi obrazca CO
If, after the concentration has been notified, the Commission considers that the case is not appropriate for notification under the Short Form CO, the Commission may require full, or where appropriate partial, notification under Form CO. This may be the case where:
Če Komisija po priglasitvi koncentracije meni, da priglasitev na poenostavljenem obrazcu CO v posameznem primeru ni primerna, lahko zahteva podrobno priglasitev ali po potrebi delno priglasitev na obrazcu CO. To je možno, kadar:
it appears that the conditions for using the Short Form CO are not met;
se zdi, da niso izpolnjeni pogoji za uporabo poenostavljenega obrazca CO;
although the conditions for using the Short Form CO are met, a full or partial notification under Form CO appears to be necessary for an adequate investigation of possible competition concerns or to establish that the transaction is a concentration within the meaning of Article 3 of the Merger Regulation;
se zdi, da je kljub izpolnitvi pogojev za uporabo poenostavljenega obrazca CO potrebna podrobna ali delna priglasitev na obrazcu CO, da se ustrezno preučijo morebitne spornosti z vidika konkurence ali da se ugotovi, ali se transakcija šteje za koncentracijo v smislu člena 3 Uredbe o združitvah;
the Short Form CO contains incorrect or misleading information;
poenostavljeni obrazec CO vsebuje napačne ali zavajajoče podatke;
a Member State or an EFTA State expresses substantiated competition concerns about the notified concentration within 15 working days of receipt of the copy of the notification; or
država članica ali država Efte izrazi utemeljene pomisleke glede morebitne spornosti priglašene koncentracije z vidika konkurence v 15 delovnih dneh po prejemu kopije priglasitve ali
a third party expresses substantiated competition concerns within the time-limit laid down by the Commission for such comments.
tretja oseba izrazi utemeljene pomisleke glede morebitne spornosti priglašene koncentracije v roku, ki ga za takšne pripombe določi Komisija.
In such cases, the notification may be treated as being incomplete in a material respect pursuant to Article 5(2) of the Implementing Regulation.
V takšnih primerih se lahko v skladu s členom 5(2) Izvedbene uredbe šteje, da je priglasitev v bistvenih točkah nepopolna.
The Commission will inform the notifying parties or their representatives of this in writing and without delay.
Komisija o tem nemudoma pisno obvesti priglasitelje ali njihove zastopnike.
The notification will only become effective on the date on which all information required is received.
Priglasitev postane veljavna šele na dan, ko so prejeti vsi zahtevani podatki.
It is recognised that the information requested in this Short Form CO can be substantial.
Vendar izkušnje kažejo, da – odvisno od značilnosti posameznega primera – za ustrezno preučitev predlagane koncentracije niso vedno potrebni vsi podatki.
Accordingly, if you consider that any particular information requested by this Short Form CO may not be necessary for the Commission’s examination of the case, you are encouraged to ask the Commission to dispense with the obligation to provide certain information (‘waiver’) (see point 1.6(g) of this introductory part for more details).
Za podrobnejše informacije Glej točko 1.6(g) tega uvodnega dela. Na podlagi Uredbe o združitvah lahko priglasitelji kadar koli priglasijo koncentracijo, če je priglasitev popolna.
As such, while not mandatory, pre-notification contacts can be extremely valuable to both the notifying parties and the Commission in determining the precise amount of information required in a notification and, in the majority of cases, will result in a significant reduction of the information required.
Stiki pred priglasitvijo sicer niso obvezni, vendar so lahko izredno koristni tako za priglasitelje kot tudi za Komisijo pri določanju natančnega obsega podatkov, potrebnih za priglasitev, in bodo v večini primerov omogočili občutno zmanjšanje zahtevanih podatkov.
Accordingly, whilst the parties are solely responsible to decide whether to engage in pre-notification contacts and when exactly to notify, parties are encouraged to consult the Commission regarding the adequacy of the scope and type of information on which they intend to base their notification.
Zato priglasitelje kljub temu, da se sami odločijo, ali bodo navezali stike pred priglasitvijo in kdaj natančno bodo priglasili koncentracijo, spodbujamo, da se posvetujejo s Komisijo o primernosti obsega in vrste podatkov, ki naj bi bili podlaga za njihovo priglasitev.
Similarly, in cases where the parties wish to submit a Short Form CO, they are encouraged to engage in pre-notification contacts with the Commission to discuss whether the case is one for which it is appropriate to use a Short Form CO.
Prav tako priglasitelje, ki želijo predložiti priglasitev na poenostavljenem obrazcu CO, spodbujamo, naj s Komisijo predhodno navežejo stike, da se ugotovi, ali je za dani primer ustrezno uporabiti poenostavljeni obrazec CO.
Notifying parties are also encouraged to engage in pre-notification contacts where they wish to submit a Short Form CO in situations where two or more of the parties to the concentration are in a horizontal relationship with an HHI delta resulting from the concentration of below 150.
Predhodni stiki s Komisijo se priporočajo priglasiteljem, ki želijo predložiti poenostavljeni obrazec CO v primerih, ko sta dva ali več udeležencev koncentracije v horizontalnem razmerju in delta Herfindahl-Hirschmanovega indeksa, ki izhaja iz koncentracije, ne dosega 150.
Nonetheless, pre-notification contacts, in particular the submission of a draft notification, may be less useful in cases falling under point 5(b) of the Commission’s Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations.
Vendar pa so lahko stiki pred priglasitvijo, zlasti predložitev osnutka priglasitve, morda manj koristni v primerih, zajetih v točki 5(b) Obvestila Komisije o poenostavljenem postopku obravnave določenih koncentracij.
This concerns cases where the parties are not engaged in business activities in the same product and geographic market, or in a product market which is upstream or downstream from a product market in which any other party to the concentration is engaged.
To zadeva primere, v katerih udeleženci ne opravljajo poslovnih dejavnosti na istem proizvodnem in geografskem trgu ali na proizvodnem trgu, ki je v medsebojnem vertikalnem razmerju s proizvodnim trgom, na katerem posluje kateri koli drug udeleženec koncentracije.
In such circumstances, notifying parties may prefer to notify immediately without submitting a draft notification before-hand [16].Notifying parties may refer to the ‘Best Practices on the conduct of EC merger control proceedings’ of the Commission’s Directorate-General for Competition (‘DG Competition’) as published on DG Competition’s website and updated from time to time.
V takšnih primerih se bodo priglasitelji morda odločili za takojšnjo priglasitev brez predhodne predložitve osnutka priglasitve [16]. Priglasitelji si lahko pomagajo s priročnikom ‚Best Practices on the conduct of EC merger control proceedings‘ (najboljše prakse pri vodenju postopkov nadzora nad združitvami v ES), ki ga je pripravil GD za konkurenco ter je objavljen na njegovi spletni strani in periodično posodobljen.
These Best Practices provide guidance on pre-notification contacts and the preparation of notifications.
Priročnik vsebuje navodila za stike pred priglasitvijo in pripravo priglasitev.
