Issues of cooperation raised during/by a case dealt with by DG COMP

The Commission has undertaken to inform the other Network members on the important procedural steps in its cases by means of submitting new case 'fiches', envisaged decision 'fiches' (at the stage when the draft decision is sent to the Advisory Committee via encrypted mail) and closed case 'fiches'. Case teams are responsible for ensuring that these fiches are completed and submitted in the informatics application.

More about Issues of cooperation raised during/by a case dealt with by DG COMP

When a case dealt with by a sectoral unit raises an important issue of cooperation with the NCAs, the ECN Unit should be consulted so as to maintain consistency across sectors in the relationships with the various NCAs. This consistency should exist throughout the handling of cases by DG Competition and encompasses, for example – legal issues with respect to assistance during inspections and other general questions concerning investigative powers; – issues concerning information exchanges; – discussions, in the context of an individual case, on important general/policy issues or on matters relating to the Advisory Committee.
