Läs inlägg. Nyheten bör kanske kompletteras av swec då många drar felaktiga slutsatser.
Situationen med AMD var kanske uppenbar men saknades en konkret analys för skadan som åverkats. Ska man vara saklig så är inte underlaget komplett.
As a preliminary point, the General Court provides clarification regarding the scope of the dispute following the referral back. In that regard, it observes that the setting aside of the initial judgment was justified only by one single error resulting from the failure to take into consideration, in the initial judgment, Intel’s line of argument seeking to challenge the Commission’s AEC analysis. Accordingly, the General Court takes the view that it can accept, for the purposes of its examination, all the findings not vitiated by the error thus found by the Court of Justice, in the present case being the findings in the initial judgment concerning the naked restrictions and their unlawfulness under Article 102 TFEU. According to the General Court, the Court of Justice did not invalidate, even in principle, the distinctions established in the contested decision between practices constituting such restrictions and Intel’s other actions which alone are the subject of the AEC analysis in question. Second, the General Court accepted the findings in the initial judgment according to which the Commission had established the existence of the rebates at issue in the contested decision. Having provided that clarification, the General Court then commences, in the first place, the examination of the forms of order seeking the annulment of the contested decision by setting out the method defined by the Court of Justice for assessing whether a system of rebates has the capacity to restrict competition. In that respect, it recalls that, although a system of rebates set up by an undertaking in a dominant position on the market may be characterised as a restriction of competition, since, given its nature, it may be assumed to have restrictive effects on competition, what is involved, in the present case, is a mere presumption, which cannot relieve the Commission, in any event, of the obligation to conduct an analysis of anticompetitive effects. Accordingly, where an undertaking in a dominant position submits, during the administrative procedure, on the basis of supporting evidence, that its conduct was not capable of restricting competition and, in particular, was not capable of producing the foreclosure effects alleged against it, the Commission must analyse the foreclosure capacity of the scheme of rebates. In the context of that analysis, it is for the Commission not only to analyse, first, the extent of the undertaking’s dominant position on the relevant market, and, second, the share of the market covered by the contested practice, together with the conditions and arrangements for granting the rebates in question, their duration and their amount, but also to assess the possible existence of a strategy intended to exclude at least as-efficient competitors. In addition, where the Commission has carried out an AEC test, that test is one of the factors which must be taken into account by the Commission in order to assess whether the rebate scheme is capable of restricting competition.
Tycker inke artikeln behöver kompletteras, de fångade andan av det hela rätt bra. Ett mer än 11 år gammal beslut vändes då de anser att inte tillräckligt möda hade gjorts för att fastställa de respektive maktpositionerna och potentially skadorna i absolut värden, oavsett vad den avsedda effekten och faktiskta andan av beteendet var.
Jag vet inte hur du ser det men jag har svårt att tro att diverse EU- politiker och byråkrater har haft svårt att sova de senaste 10 åren och bara var tvungna att öppna det igen för deras samvetes skull - Intel har lagt press, och nu fanns det tillräckligt mycket välvilja/korruption för att stryka dem medhårs.
Ingen mängd data kan någonsin perfekt simulera en alternativ verklighet - vi kommer aldrig veta hur marknaden hade sett ut om saker varit annorlunda. Om lagen var 100% deterministic skulle en domstol inte behövas. Beslut som dessa måste tas då lagen har alltför mycket flexibilitet för att bara var en enkel funktion med input och output. Att vända på ett sådant beslut över tio år senare över detaljer gör det jävligt tydligt för mig iallafall att det finns ingen rättvisa eller verklig lag här - bara maktspel och pengar. Inte för folket, inte för Europa eller dess medlemsländer.
