the Competition Appeal Tribunal shall apply the same principles as would be
applied by a court on an application for judicial review”）) / Virgin’s application – 58A (4) “Wherever in a merger
situation two media enterprises serving the same audience cease to be distinct,
the number of such enterprises serving that audience shall be assumed to be
more immediately before they cease to be distinct than it is afterwards.” (5)
“For the purposes of section 58, where two or more media enterprises—(a) would
fall to be treated as under common ownership or common control for the purposes
of section 26, or (b) are otherwise in the same ownership or under the same
control, they shall be treated (subject to subsection (4)) as all under the

Judgment of the Court of Justice in Case C-413/06 P Bertelsmann et Sony Corporation of America
v Impala
一部破棄、一部差し戻し（”In that regard, it should be noted
at the outset that there is nothing in
Article 2(2) or (3) of the Regulation which states that it imposes different standards of proof in
relation to decisions approving a concentration, on the one hand, and decisions
prohibiting a concentration, on the other”(para.46)／fifth ground of appeal: concept of dominant position～”the assessment of…the transparency of a particular market
should not be undertaken in an isolated and abstract manner”; ”the Court of
First Instance committed an error of law”、fourth
ground of appeal: exceeded the scope of its role in carrying out judicial
review～”…while the Court of
First Instance must not substitute its own economic assessment for that of the
Commission for the purpose of applying the substantive rules of the Regulation,
that does not mean that the Community judicature must refrain from reviewing
the Commission’s interpretation of information of an economic
nature.”(para.145)等（non-exhaustive）

”I have to
say that virtually all public broadcasters are opposed to any change to the existing framework. I would be lying to you if I
found this surprising…” / “…the entrustment should be preceded by a transparent
and open assessment both of the public value of a new audiovisual service, as
well as of its market impact.” （BBCのpublic value testの応用も視野）
/ “Should public service broadcasters remain subject to different requirements
of transparency and proportionality as those applying for utilities such as
electricity companies and public transport companies?” （2001年コミュニケーションはSGEI Framework確立前）
