Caserelated contacts usually take the form of regular telephone calls, e-mails, exchanges of documents and other communications between the case teams. is cooperation continues to be of considerable benefit to both sides, in terms of enhancing their respective enforcement activities, avoiding unnecessary conflicts or inconsistencies between enforcement activities and improving understanding of each other’s competition-policy regimes.
To sodelovanje še vedno zelo koristi obema stranema, v smislu krepitve njunih zadevnih dejavnosti izvrševanja, preprečevanja nepotrebnih sporov ali neusklajenosti med dejavnostmi izvrševanja ter izboljšanja razumevanja sistema politike konkurence druge strani.
Cooperation in merger control with the US antitrust agencies continued at a high level of intensity during 2004. e 2002 EU–USA best practices on cooperation in reviewing mergers provide a useful framework for cooperation, in particular by indicating critical points in the procedure where cooperation could be especially useful.
Sodelovanje s protimonopolnimi agencijami ZDA na področju nadzora združevanja se je leta 2004 nadaljevalo zelo intenzivno. Najboljše prakse EU-ZDA iz leta 2002 za sodelovanje pri pregledih združitev zagotavljajo koristen okvir za sodelovanje, zlasti z opredelitvijo kritičnih točk v postopku, kjer bi bilo sodelovanje lahko še posebej koristno.
In practice, cooperation on cases is very pragmatic and exible, adapted to the case and the issues involved.
V praksi je sodelovanje pri primerih zelo pragmatično in prožno, prilagojeno primeru in obravnavanim vprašanjem.
In that year, cases involving substantial cooperation included: Oracle/Peopleso , Sony/BMG, Air France/KLM, Sanofi/Aventis, Sygenta/Advanta, Air Liquide/Messer, Agfa/Lastra, Magna/NVC and Microso /Time Warner/Contentguard.
V tem letu so bili primeri, pri katerih so te skupine tesno sodelovale, naslednji: Oracle/Peopleso , Sony/BMG, Air France/KLM, Sanofi/Aventis, Sygenta/Advanta, Air Liquide/Messer, Agfa/Lastra, Magna/NVC in Microso /Time Warner/Contentguard.
As in previous years, the Commission’s experience demonstrates that cooperation and coordination on mergers are most useful on issues related to the design, negotiation and implementation of remedies to any competition problems identified by the agencies.
Tako kot v preteklih letih izkušnje Komisije kažejo, da sta sodelovanje in usklajevanje na področju združevanja najkoristnejša pri vprašanjih, povezanih z oblikovanjem, dogovorom in izvajanjem protiukrepov za kakršne koli težave v zvezi s konkurenco, ki jih opredelijo agencije.
In recent years, cooperation on merger control policy more generally has been established in the context of the socalled EU–US working group on mergers, a standing forum for interagency policy discussion. e objective of the working group is to improve understanding of each other’s policies and practices and to enhance the consistency of merger control on both sides of the Atlantic.
V zadnjih letih je bilo splošnejše sodelovanje na področju politike nadzora združevanja vzpostavljeno v okviru Delovne skupine EU-ZDA za združitve, stalnega foruma za medagencijske razprave o politiki. Cilj te delovne skupine je izboljšati razumevanje politik in praks druga druge ter izboljšati doslednost nadzora združevanja na obeh straneh Atlantika.
In addition to caserelated cooperation on mergers, regular informal contacts were maintained between the agencies regarding issues of merger control policy, including fruitful exchanges of views on a number of topics.
Poleg sodelovanja, povezanega s posameznimi primeri združitev, so agencije ohranjale redne neuradne stike v zvezi z vprašanji o politiki nadzora združevanja, ki so vključevali plodne izmenjave stališč o vrsti tem.
During 2004, these contacts dealt with the Commission’s package of merger control reforms, the Commission’s study on the e ectiveness of its remedies policy and ongoing internal reflections on the approach to assessing non-horizontal mergers, on which the Commission intends to circulate guidelines.
V letu 2004 so se ti stiki nanašali na sveženj reform nadzora združevanja, ki ga je pripravila Komisija, študijo Komisije o učinkovitosti njene politike protiukrepov in tekoče notranje razmisleke o pristopu k presoji nehorizontalnih združitev, o katerih namerava Komisija objaviti smernice.
Bilateral cooperation between the Commission and the US DoJ was particularly intense in cartel cases: numerous contacts took place between o cials of the Commission’s cartel units and their counterparts at the DoJ. e exchanges of information on particular cases were most frequent but discussions also took in policy issues.
Dvostransko sodelovanje med Komisijo in Ministrstvom za pravosodje ZDA je bilo še zlasti intenzivno v primerih kartelov: vzpostavljeni so bili številni stiki med uradniki enot Komisije za kartele in njihovimi kolegi z Ministrstva za pravosodje. Najpogostejše so bile izmenjave informacij o posameznih primerih, vendar pa so se razprave nanašale tudi na vprašanja politike.
Many of the caserelated contacts took place as a result of simultaneous applications for immunity in the USA and the EU.
Mnogi stiki, povezani s posameznimi primeri, so bili posledica istočasnih prošenj za imuniteto pred denarno kaznijo v ZDA in EU.
Furthermore, in a number of instances, coordinated enforcement actions took place in the USA and the EU, in which the agencies tried to ensure that the time lapse between the start of the respective actions was as short as possible. e working group on intellectual property rights met by video conference at the beginning of 2004.
Poleg tega so v vrsti primerov potekali koordinirani ukrepi izvrševanja v ZDA in EU, pri čemer so agencije poskušale zagotoviti, da je bil časovni zamik med začetkom zadevnih ukrepov čim krajši. Delovna skupina za pravice intelektualne lastnine se je sestala prek videokonference na začetku leta 2004.
On 28 September, Commissioner Mario Monti met the heads of the US antitrust agencies, Deborah Majoras, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, and Hew Pate, Assistant Attorney General, for the annual bilateral EU–US meeting in Brussels.

ICN cartel working group
Delovna skupina ICN za kartele
Moreover, it discusses the most e ective enforcement tools.
Poleg tega tudi razpravlja o najučinkovitejših orodjih za izvrševanje.
As a forum for these discussions, two conferences were organised by the ICN cartel working group in Sydney in November.
Kot forum za te razprave je Delovna skupina ICN za kartele novembra v Sydneyju organizirala dve konferenci.
Firstly, drawing on the experiences of the former international cartel workshop, enforcers were able to share know-how and develop their investigative skills in the detection of cartels at the rst ICN cartel workshop.
Prvič so si organi za izvrševanje na podlagi izkušenj predhodne mednarodne delavnice o kartelih lahko izmenjali strokovno znanje in razvili svoje preiskovalne sposobnosti za odkrivanje kartelov na prvi delavnici ICN o kartelih.
Secondly, at a special leniency workshop, a number of legal and practical issues arising out of parallel applications for immunity from nes in several jurisdictions were discussed by representatives from more than 30 competition authorities. e materials from these events will be made public on the ICN website.
Drugič so na posebni delavnici o prizanesljivosti predstavniki iz več kot 30 organov za konkurenco obravnavali vrsto pravnih in praktičnih vprašanj, ki izhajajo iz vzporednih prošenj za imuniteto pred denarnimi kaznimi v več jurisdikcijah. Gradivo teh dveh dogodkov bo objavljeno na spletnih strani ICN.
ICN merger investigative techniques workshop
Delavnica ICN o preiskovalnih tehnikah za združitve
Participants worked on a hypothetical case le on a merger between the two most successful soya milk producers in the country.
Udeleženci so delali na hipotetičnem primeru združitve med dvema najuspešnejšima proizvajalcema sojinega mleka v državi.
In the breakout groups, participants developed an investigation plan, discussed document requests from the merging parties, analysed di erent types of economic and econometric evidence and lastly worked on information requests addressed to third parties and on the issue of respondent bias.
V ločenih skupinah so udeleženci razvili preiskovalni načrt, razpravljali o zahtevah po dokumentih udeleženk združitve, analizirali različne vrste ekonomskih in ekonometričnih dokazov ter nazadnje delali na zahtevah za informacije, naslovljenih na tretje strani, in vprašanju pristranskosti vprašancev.
ICN mergers working group — Notification and procedures subgroup
Delovna skupina ICN za združitve – Podskupina za priglasitve in postopke
In the early part of the year, the subgroup prepared a set of four detailed recommended practices covering the following areas: (i) confidentiality; (ii) procedural fairness; (iii) conduct of merger investigations; and (iv) interagency cooperation. ese were endorsed by the ICN membership in plenary session on the occasion of the ICN annual conference in Seoul in April, following an interactive presentation of their content and detailed discussion in breakout sessions. e four new practices bring to 11 the number of recommended practices adopted by the ICN, on the basis of dra s produced by this subgroup. e seven others concern: (i) sufficient nexus between the transaction’s e ects and the reviewing jurisdiction; (ii) clear and objective notification thresholds; (iii) exibility in the timing of merger notification; (iv) merger review periods; (v) requirements for initial notification; (vi) conduct of merger investigations; and (vii) transparency.
S štirimi novimi praksami se je število priporočenih praks, ki jih je sprejela Mednarodna mreža za konkurenco na podlagi osnutkov, ki jih je pripravila ta podskupina, povečalo na enajst. Drugih sedem praks se nanaša na: (1) zadostno povezavo med učinki posla in jurisdikcijo, ki opravlja preverjanje; (2) jasne in objektivne prage priglasitve; (3) prožnost pri časovni določitvi priglasitve združitve; (4) obdobja pregledov združitev; (5) zahteve za začetno priglasitev; (6) izvajanje preiskav združitev ter (7) preglednost.
Since Seoul, the subgroup has been working on two new recommended practices on merger remedies and on agency enforcement powers, resources and independence, which will be presented to the next annual conference, scheduled to take place in Bonn in June 2005.
Od Seula naprej podskupina dela na dveh novih priporočenih praksah za protiukrepe v zvezi z združitvami ter za pooblastila, vire in samostojnost agencije za izvrševanje, ki bosta predstavljeni na naslednji letni konferenci, ki naj bi bila predvidoma junija 2005 v Bonnu.
In addition, the subgroup is working on several new projects: the development of a model form or forms for use by merging parties and competition agencies governing waivers of confidentiality protection for materials submitted in connection with merger reviews; the gathering of data on impediments to jurisdictions’ ability to implement the recommended practices and preparation of a report identifying challenges agencies face in adopting the practices and techniques to help surmount impediments; the preparation of a study on ling fees in merger control; and the possible promulgation of recommended practices for merging parties, based on
Poleg tega podskupina deluje na več novih projektih: razvoj vzorca obrazca ali obrazcev za udeležence združitve in agencije za konkurenco, ki urejajo opustitev varstva zaupnosti za gradivo, predloženo v povezavi s pregledi združitev; zbiranje podatkov o ovirah za jurisdikcijo za izvajanje priporočenih praks in priprava poročila, ki opredeljuje izzive, s katerimi se srečujejo agencije pri sprejemanju praks in tehnik za pomoč pri premagovanju ovir; priprava študije o pristojbinah za vložitev prijave pri nadzoru združitev ter možna razglasitev priporočenih praks za udeležence združitev na podlagi raziskovalnega dela treh članic (Komisije EU, Južne Afrike in Kanade).
ICN mergers working group — Analytical framework subgroup
Delovna skupina ICN za združitve – Podskupina za analitični okvir
At the annual conference in Seoul, the chair of the subgroup (the UK O ce of Fair Trading) presented the nalised study on merger guidelines in 12 jurisdictions (including the EU) prepared by a consortium of law rms.
Na letni konferenci v Seulu je predsednik podskupine (Urad Združenega kraljestva za pošteno trgovanje) predstavil končno študijo o smernicah za združitve v 12 jurisdikcijah (vključno z EU), ki jo je pripravilo združenje odvetniških pisarn.
Since Seoul, the UK OFT and Irish Competition Authority have been co-steering two projects: (i) the drawing up of a checklist of key questions which merger guidelines ought to address; and (ii) a study of various types of remedies accepted in merger proceedings worldwide, with a view to assessing their e ectiveness in dealing with di erent competition concerns. e Commission is involved in both of these projects as part of a consultative group.
Od Seula Urad Združenega kraljestva za pošteno trgovanje in irski organ za konkurenco skupaj vodita dva projekta: (1) izdelavo kontrolnega seznama ključnih vprašanj, ki se jih morajo lotevati smernice za združitve, in (2) študijo različnih vrst protiukrepov, sprejetih v postopkih v zvezi z združitvami po vsem svetu, zato da se oceni njihova učinkovitost pri reševanju različnih pomislekov glede konkurence. Komisija je vključena v oba projekta kot del posvetovalne skupine.
