Ad hoc empowerment<\/h1>\n

Ad hoc empowerment<\/h2>\n

The empowerments listed in subsections 2.2.1 to 2.2.3 are “general”, in the sense that they apply to categories of acts. However, a Commissioner can also be empowered to adopt a specific act in a specific case.<\/p>\n

More about Ad hoc empowerment<\/h3>\n

Such “ad hoc” empowerments are systematically added when adopting commitment decisions based on Art. 9 of Regulation 1\/2003 in order to facilitate the adoption of Commission decisions implementing commitments such as the setting or extending of deadlines, approval of a purchaser in case of divestiture or nomination of a trustee \/ independent auditor, for which no general empowerment of the Competition Commissioner has yet been requested, due to the novelty of Art. 9 decisions, when the general empowerment decision has been adopted in 2004. See further the Chapter on Commitment decision.<\/p>\n
