In particular, in a system of parallel powers, national limitation periods should be suspended or interrupted for the duration of proceedings before NCAs of another Member State or the Commission.
Da se v okviru Evropske mreže za konkurenco zagotovi učinkovita in uspešna obravnava zadev, bi moralo biti – v tistih državah članicah, v katerih sta tako nacionalni upravni organ, pristojen za konkurenco, kot nacionalni pravosodni organ, pristojen za konkurenco, določena za NOK z namenom uveljavljanja členov 101 in 102 PDEU, kot je določeno v členih 6 do 13 in členu 16 te direktive – nacionalnim upravnim organom, pristojnim za konkurenco, omogočeno, da tožbo vložijo neposredno pri nacionalnem pravosodnem organu, pristojnem za konkurenco.
Such suspension or interruption should not prevent Member States from maintaining or introducing absolute limitation periods, provided that the duration of such absolute limitation periods does not render the effective enforcement of Articles 101 and 102 TFEU practically impossible or excessively difficult.
Poleg tega, če nacionalna sodišča nastopajo v postopkih zoper odločbe, ki so jih sprejeli NOK ob uporabi člena 101 ali 102 PDEU, bi morali biti nacionalni upravni organi, pristojni za konkurenco, v celoti upravičeni, da so v teh postopkih udeleženi kot tožilci, tožene stranke ali nasprotne stranke, ter bi morali uživati enake pravice, kot jih imajo take javne stranke v navedenih postopkih.
To ensure that cases are dealt with efficiently and effectively within the European Competition Network, in those Member States where both a national administrative competition authority and a national judicial competition authority are designated as NCAs for the purpose of enforcing Articles 101 and 102 TFEU as referred to in Articles 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 16 of this Directive, national administrative competition authorities should be able to bring the action directly before the national judicial competition authority.
Tveganje razkritja samoobdolžitvenega materiala zunaj okvira preiskave, za namen katere je bil predložen, bi lahko zmanjšalo interes morebitnih prijaviteljev za prizanesljivost, da bi sodelovali z organi, pristojnimi za konkurenco.
In addition, to the extent that national courts act in proceedings brought against decisions taken by NCAs applying Article 101 or 102 TFEU, national administrative competition authorities should be fully entitled to participate in their own right as a prosecutor, defendant or respondent in those proceedings, and should enjoy the same rights of such a public party to those proceedings.
Posledično bi se ne glede na obliko, v kateri so predložene izjave za prizanesljivost, informacije v izjavah za prizanesljivost, ki so bile pridobljene z dostopom do spisa, morale uporabiti le, če je to potrebno za uveljavljanje pravic obrambe v postopku pred nacionalnimi sodišči v nekaterih zelo omejenih primerih, ki so neposredno povezani z zadevo, za katero je bil odobren dostop.
The risk of self-incriminating material being disclosed outside the context of the investigation for the purposes of which it was provided could weaken the incentives for potential leniency applicants to cooperate with competition authorities.
To organom, pristojnim za konkurenco, ne bi smelo preprečiti, da bi objavili svoje odločbe v skladu z veljavnim pravom Unije ali nacionalnim pravom.
As a consequence, regardless of the form in which leniency statements are submitted, information in leniency statements that has been obtained through access to the file should be used only where necessary for the exercise of rights of defence in proceedings before national courts in certain very limited cases which are directly related to the case for which access has been granted.
Dokazi so pomemben element pri uveljavljanju členov 101 in 102 PDEU.
This should not prevent competition authorities from publishing their decisions in accordance with applicable Union or national law.
NOK bi morali imeti možnost, da obravnavajo relevantne dokaze, ne glede na to, ali so v pisni, ustni ali elektronski obliki ali obliki posnetkov.
Evidence is an important element in the enforcement of Articles 101 and 102 TFEU.
To bi moralo vključevati možnost, da se kot dokazi lahko obravnavajo tudi tajni posnetki, ki jih naredijo fizične ali pravne osebe, ki niso javni organi, pod pogojem, da ti posnetki niso edini vir dokazov.
NCAs should be able to consider relevant evidence, irrespective of whether it is written, oral, or in an electronic or recorded form.
To ne bi smelo posegati v pravico do izjave in v dopustnost posnetkov, ki so jih naredili ali pridobili javni organi.
This should include the ability to consider covert recordings made by natural or legal persons which are not public authorities, provided those recordings are not the sole source of evidence.
Prav tako bi morali NOK imeti možnost obravnavati elektronska sporočila kot relevantne dokaze, ne glede na to, če so prikazana kot neprebrana ali če so bila izbrisana.
This should be without prejudice to the right to be heard and without prejudice to the admissibility of any recordings made or obtained by public authorities.
Prizadevanja, da se NOK zagotovijo vsa pooblastila, ki jih potrebujejo za učinkovitejše uveljavljanje pravil konkurence, povečujejo potrebo po tesnem sodelovanju ter učinkoviti večstranski in dvostranski komunikaciji v okviru Evropske mreže za konkurenco.
Similarly, NCAs should be able to consider electronic messages as relevant evidence, irrespective of whether those messages appear to be unread or have been deleted.
Med drugim bi bilo treba oblikovati nezavezujoče ukrepe, ki bi olajšali in podprli izvajanje te direktive.
Ensuring that NCAs have the powers they need in order to be more effective enforcers reinforces the need for close cooperation and effective multilateral and bilateral communication in the European Competition Network.
Da bi podprli tesno sodelovanje v okviru Evropske mreže za konkurenco, bi Komisija morala vzdrževati, razvijati, gostiti, upravljati in podpirati osrednji informacijski sistem (v nadaljnjem besedilu: sistem Evropske mreže za konkurenco), v skladu z ustreznimi standardi zaupnosti ter varstva in varnosti podatkov.
This should include the development of soft measures to facilitate and support the implementation of this Directive.
Uspešno in učinkovito delovanje Evropske mreže za konkurenco je odvisno od interoperabilnosti.
To support close cooperation in the European Competition Network, the Commission should maintain, develop, host, operate and support a central information system (European Competition Network System) in compliance with the relevant confidentiality, data protection and data security standards.
Splošni proračun Unije bi moral kriti stroške vzdrževanja, razvoja, gostovanja, podpore uporabnikom in delovanja sistema Evropske mreže za konkurenco ter druge upravne stroške, nastale v povezavi z delovanjem Evropske mreže za konkurenco, zlasti stroške v zvezi z organizacijo srečanj.
The European Competition Network relies on interoperability in order to function effectively and efficiently.
Določeno je, da bo do leta 2020 stroške za sistem Evropske mreže za konkurenco kril program za interoperabilnostne rešitve in skupne okvire za evropske javne uprave, podjetja in državljane (program ISA2) vzpostavljen s Sklepom (EU) 2015/2240 Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta, pri čemer bodo upoštevani razpoložljivi viri programa, merila upravičenosti in prednostna merila.
The general budget of the Union should bear the costs of maintenance, development, hosting, user support and operation of the European Competition Network System, as well as other administrative costs incurred in connection with the functioning of the European Competition Network, in particular the costs related to the organisation of meetings.
Ker ciljev te direktive, in sicer zagotoviti, da bodo imeli NOK potrebna jamstva za neodvisno delovanje, vire ter pooblastila za uveljavljanje pravil konkurence in izrek glob, da bodo lahko učinkovito uporabljali člena 101 in 102 PDEU ter nacionalno konkurenčno pravo vzporedno s členoma 101 in 102 PDEU, ter zagotoviti učinkovito delovanje notranjega trga in Evropske mreže za konkurenco, države članice ne morejo zadovoljivo doseči, temveč se zaradi zahtevane učinkovitosti in enotnosti pri uporabi členov 101 in 102 PDEU lažje dosežejo na ravni Unije, zlasti z vidika ozemeljske uporabe Direktive, lahko Unija sprejme ukrepe v skladu z načelom subsidiarnosti, kot je določeno v členu 5 Pogodbe o Evropski uniji.
Until 2020, provision has been made for the costs for the European Competition Network System to be covered by the Programme on interoperability solutions and common frameworks for European public administrations, businesses and citizens (ISA2 programme) established by Decision (EU) 2015/2240 of the European Parliament and of the Council, subject to the programme's available resources, eligibility and prioritisation criteria.
V skladu z načelom sorazmernosti iz navedenega člena ta direktiva ne presega tistega, kar je potrebno za doseganje navedenih ciljev.
Since the objectives of this Directive, namely ensuring that NCAs have the necessary guarantees of independence, resources, and enforcement and fining powers to be able to effectively apply Articles 101 and 102 TFEU and national competition law in parallel to Articles 101 and 102 TFEU, and ensuring the effective functioning of the internal market and the European Competition Network, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, but can rather by reason of the requisite effectiveness and uniformity in the application of Articles 101 and 102 TFEU be better achieved at Union level in particular in view of the territorial scope of the Directive, the Union may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out on Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union.
V skladu s Skupno politično izjavo z dne 28. septembra 2011 držav članic in Komisije o obrazložitvenih dokumentih se države članice zavezujejo, da bodo v upravičenih primerih obvestilu o ukrepih za prenos priložile enega ali več dokumentov, v katerih bo pojasnjeno razmerje med elementi direktive in ustreznimi deli nacionalnih instrumentov za prenos.
In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve those objectives.
Posredovanje takih dokumentov se v primeru te direktive šteje za upravičeno –
In accordance with the Joint Political Declaration of 28 September 2011 of Member States and the Commission on explanatory documents,Member States have undertaken to accompany, in justified cases, the notification of their transposition measures with one or more documents explaining the relationship between the components of a directive and the corresponding parts of national transposition instruments.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJO DIREKTIVO:
With regard to this Directive, the transmission of such documents is considered to be justified,
