GENERAL REPORT
1. INTRODUCTION
2. SUBSTANTIVE LAW ON CONCENTRATIONS
2.1 To what types of concentration does local law apply?
2.2 What powers do local authorities have in respect of mergers (i.e. prohibition, clearance, subject to conditions, fines)?
3. DIMENSION AND RELEVANT MARKET
3.1 Please explain briefly the basic principles and criteria to determine the relevant market, e.g.
3.2 What analyses are carried out and what evidence or studies are requested to define the relevant market? e.g.
4. ANCILLARY RESTRICTIONS TO CONCENTRATIONS
4.1 To what extent does local law accept ancillary restrictions (i.e. non-competition covenants, obligations to supply/purchase products, know-how transfer and protection)? What criteria and limits are applied. Please provide examples
5. JOINT-VENTURES
5.1 Are joint-ventures treated differently to other transactions? Is there a distinction between co-operative joint-venture or concentrative joint-venture?
6. INTERNATIONAL MERGERS/TRANSNATIONAL APPLICATION OF LOCAL LAW
6.1 How will local law apply to cases where the merger itself has taken place abroad and only indirectly, i.e. by change of ownership in a national company, has had an impact locally?
6.2 Are there any general rules regarding the transnational application of local laws? How is the position of the antitrust authorities?
6.3 In case of competent international antitrust authorities how is the potential conflict between the different antitrust authorities solved? Are there practical examples of such conflicts?
7. TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT
7.1 At what point in time during the negotiation process should the structure of a transaction be carefully reviewed in view of later antitrust filings or clearance? Are the authorities available for informal meetings?
7.2 Please specify the appropriate timetable and time limits for both negotiating and requiring the necessary antitrust clearance
7.3 Are there methods to avoid multiple filings?
7.4 Please provide standard clauses that would be used in contracts to deal with the necessary filing/approval of the relevant antitrust authority
7.5 How far can a transaction be implemented before obtaining the clearance?
8. PROCEDURE
8.1 What is the competent authority in your country to handle notifications, investigations and decision as to rejection or approval of merger control notices?
8.2 Describe the procedure for approval or rejection. Is there a maximum term for the authorities to resolve, after which the transaction is deemed to be approved?
8.3 What rules apply to protect confidential information?
8.4 Are decisions on competition published?
8.5 What information and attachment should be included in the notification? Please kindly include a list of required information and documentation to be provided as schedule to your report
8.6 May authorities start an investigation for failure to notify on their own decision or does it require a claim by a competitor or another interested party? How often do the authorities start an investigation 'ex officio'?
8.7 Can the decision of the local competition authority be challenged? If so, please describe the procedure and timing. Do ordinary courts have jurisdiction?
8.8 How far is the local authority's discretion to decide on whether a concentration conforms to competition law? Does the resolution require justification? Do political factors have any impact on the decisions?
9. SANCTIONS
9.1 What are the penalties for failure to notify if notification is compulsory or carrying out of a transaction if the decision is unfavourable?
