Clarification by the Competition Authority regarding the SEAT-TMC operation
In relation to the article on the SEAT-TMC merger published in the daily newspaper 'La Repubblica' on 28 December, the Competition Authority has issued the following clarification:
- the document mentioned in the article, which contains substantial factual errors, is neither a 'decision' nor a 'measure', but merely a draft decision;
- the draft decision adopted on 18 December was duly forwarded to the Communications Regulatory Authority to obtain its statutory opinion on Wednesday 20 December;
- the draft decision, which by its nature may be modified and complemented, was and remains wholly confidential as far as the Competition Authority is concerned and will remain so until the "decision" has been taken and notice thereof has been served on the parties.
