comfort letter preferred
  • administrative letter sent to the notifying parties confirming informally and normally without any reasoning either: — that the Commission sees no grounds for action against an agreement under Article 81(1) of the EC Treaty, because it does not restrict competition and/or affect trade between Member States (negative clearance-type comfort letter), or — that the agreement fulfils the conditions for granting an exemption under Article 81(3) of the EC Treaty (exemption-type comfort letter)
esmahinnang
Usage examples
  • Mõnikord lõpetatakse toimikud ametlikku otsust tegemata, kui näiteks leitakse, et kokkulepete kohta kehtib juba grupierand, või kui konkreetsel ajal ja konkreetses olukorras ei ole vaja komisjoni sekkumist. Sellisel juhul saadetakse välja esmahinnang. Esmahinnang ei ole küll komisjoni otsus, kuid see toob esile komisjoni konkurentsipoliitika peadirektoraadi (IV PD) seisukoha, mis rajaneb parajasti nende käsutuses olevatel faktidel; see tähendab, et komisjon võib vajaduse korral, näiteks juhul, kui tunnustatakse lepingu tühisust EÜ asutamislepingu artikli 85 lõike 2 ja/või EMP lepingu artikli 53 lõike 2 alusel, võtta õigusliku olukorra lahendamiseks vastu asjakohase otsuse.
comfort letter preferred
Usage examples
  • Sometimes files are closed without any formal decision being taken, for example, because it is found that the arrangements are already covered by a block exemption, or because they do not call for any action by the Commission, at least in circumstances at that time. In such cases comfort letters are sent. Although not a Commission decision, a comfort letter indicates how the Commission's Directorate-General for Competition (DG IV) views the case on the facts currently in their possession which means that the Commission could where necessary, for example, if it were to be asserted that a contract was void under Article 85(2) of the EC Treaty and/or Article 53(2) of the EEA Agreement, take an appropriate decision to clarify the legal situation.
