Procedural practices of access to the file

Different procedural practices of access to the file

According to the Notice on Antitrust Best Practices (paragraphs 95 et seq.), further to the possibilities contemplated in the Notice on access to file, there are two additional procedural practices that may be used for the purpose of alleviating the burden on the parties to redact their submissions in relation to confidential information. These procedural practices may be offered by DG Competition where it considers it to be useful, and are typically conducted in cases where there is only a limited number of undertakings. Both procedural practices can be beneficial not only for the party being granted access to file but also for the information providers since they would not have the burden of redacting their confidential material.
