Footnotes
-
Depending on the type of the case, GVH (Hungarian competition authority) interventions might result in different types of decisions:
- establishment of the infringement: applied in all types of cases (However the category of `failure to notify the concentration` is not included although these are also infringements of the Competition Act. This influence the overall number of infringements and fines.)
- termination of proceedings after suspension: applied in all types of cases (except the concentrations)
- refusal of the exemption: applied in the case of restrictive agreements
- prohibited concentrations (refused notifications): applied in the case of concentrations and restrictive agreements
- imposition of condition: applied in the case of restrictive agreements and concentrations
- voluntary acceptance of the reflections of GVH: applied in the case of concentrations and restrictive agreements -
