monopolist

Voorbeeldzinnen

1. Due to its previous position as legal monopolist, MOL WMT holds a dominant position in the wholesale supply of gas to RDCs and to traders in Hungary.
2. Overall, the various cost accounting and accounting separation obligations imposed on OTE aim to ensure that OTE as a former monopolist should derive no advantage capable of undermining or distorting competition on the market [56].
3. With regard to substation components it has been brought to the Commission's attention that the merged entity would become a monopolist for certain components with the potential to foreclose competitors.
4. This is because satellite is based on a subscription fee system and can recoup the costs of providing decoders to its own customers and because Sky, as a monopolist, is not subject to the free riding problem.
5. Due to its current position of legal monopolist, GDP holds a dominant position in all gas markets, with the only exception of the distribution of natural gas in the area of Porto where Portgás — a company in which EDP has recently acquired joint control — is active.
6. The ongoing transformation of OTE from an ex-monopolist to a company that is subject to the same legal framework as any other private operator in Greece, with the subsequently envisaged relinquishment by the Greek State of its control over the company, improves the operation of the Greek electronic communications market, lowers the barriers to entry and exit in the market [44] and is beneficial in the longer term to end-users.
7. The Commission now considers that the compatibility assessment under Article 87(3)(c) of measures that aim to compensate an ex-monopolist for the extra costs arising from a period when the company concerned operated as a monopoly should be limited to examining whether the company has benefited, or continues to benefit, from other advantages of a similar nature (such as, in the case at hand, other labour-law-related advantages enjoyed by OTE) which may neutralise the costs in question.
8. Mediaset maintains that there have been no unnecessary distortions of competition because (i) discrimination is simply the result of Sky's business choices; (ii) terrestrial television carries local channels, whereas 80 % of local programmes are not carried by satellite TV because local channels' revenue is not sufficient to support the cost of transmission (satellite is not comparable to free-to-air broadcasting); and (iii) there is only market failure as regards DTT decoders and not satellite decoders. This is because satellite is based on a subscription fee system and can recoup the costs of providing decoders to its own customers and because Sky, as a monopolist, is not subject to the free riding problem.
9. The Commission considers that the question whether account should also be taken of other advantages that derive from the previous monopoly position of the undertaking concerned depends, in essence, on whether the relevant market has been fully liberalised, in the sense that an appropriate legal or regulatory framework exists to ensure that an ex-monopolist no longer enjoys any exclusive or special rights or other privileges, and that actual or likely distortions of competition can be dealt with effectively under the available exante regulatory remedies and/or under the expost enforcement of the relevant competition law provisions.
