More about Second Advisory Committee on fines

The case team describes and explains DG Competition's proposal on the level of fines, and, if relevant, also on a revised version of the draft decision following the first Advisory Committee). Once the debate is closed, the secretariat of the Advisory Committee drafts the opinion of the second Advisory Committee. Where Member States so recommend, opinion will also later be published in the OJ (along with the decision, the final report of the Hearing Officer and the opinion of the first Advisory Committee).
