Golden Shareのケース
2010-11-11 CJ(ECJ) AG Opinion Newly
added!
Advocate
General Opinion in Case C‑437/09 AG2R Prévoyance
a
preliminary reference from the French district court of Perigoux asking whether
a compulsory supplementary healthcare scheme is subject to EU competition law:
‘The Advocate General considered that a provision making affiliation to a
supplementary healthcare scheme compulsory, and an addendum introduced by the
public authorities at the request of organisations representing employers and
workers making affiliation to a single body, designated to manage the
supplementary healthcare scheme, with no possibility for a company to be
granted a waiver of the affiliation obligation, compulsory comply with Articles
101, 102 and 106 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union
(TFEU).’
’Article 101 was not applicable to the case. As
regards Article 102, although the body designated to manage the supplementary
healthcare scheme operated on strong principles of solidarity, on balance, the
Advocate General concluded that it constituted an undertaking within the
meaning of EU competition law. As the holder of a legal monopoly for the
provision of determined insurance services in a professional sector in a member
state, that body also held a dominant position. A restriction of competition
arose from the grant to it of exclusive rights to manage the supplementary
health insurance scheme. However, the Advocate General considered that,
considering the social function of the insurance scheme, this fell within the
scope of the exception provided for in Article 106(2) of the TFEU.’ [from PLC Competition]

BBC and Licence Fee
We received many comments about the BBC and
the Television Licence Fee.
It was good to see that many people were very happy with
the service the BBC provides and supported its continued independence. We agree
and are committed to an independent, strong and successful BBC that is the
cornerstone of British broadcasting. However there were other comments where
many people were concerned that the BBC does not represent value for money.
People also commented that the licence fee is too
high and that they would like an opt-out fee if they didn’t watch the BBC.
The current licence fee settlement ends in 2012-13
and we will begin discussions next year about its renewal. No decisions about
the level of the licence fee will be taken ahead of that however, like all
other public organisations, we expect the BBC to demonstrate that it is
operating efficiently and giving licence fee payers value for money.
We will also give the National Audit Office full
access to the BBC’s accounts.

’Nothing that this government does will compromise either the independence of
the BBC or the quality of its output’; ‘…core to the success of British
broadcasting overall has been not just a strong BBC, but also strong
competition to the BBC.’ / ‘Promoting a digitally-enabled BBC is one of the
core purposes of the BBC, and this will bring services like the iPlayer within
the reach of many more people.’ / ‘fundamentrally, they(IFNC) were about
subsidising the existing regional news system in a way that would have blocked
the emergence of new and vibrant local media models fit for the digital age’;
‘I am today announcing that the savings from the IFNC pilots will be used
instead to support the market testing plans for the roll-out of superfast
broadband’; ‘significantly relaxed to allow local newspapers to own local
commercial radio stations and set up local TV stations as well as benefit from
greater economies of scale’
New plans to ensure a vibrant local media market in
the future announced
Mr Hunt has appointed Nicholas Shott, Head of
UK Investment Banking at Lazard, to conduct an independent commercial
assessment of local TV over the summer. Following this assessment, DCMS will
set out a local media action plan due to be published in the autumn

ITV Contract Rights Renewal: Press
release and Final
Report
“ITV’s unrivalled ability to deliver
large audiences on ITV1 means that the Contracts Rights Renewal (CRR)
undertakings are still needed to prevent the channel from exploiting this
position to the detriment of advertisers and other commercial broadcasters, the
Competition Commission (CC) has concluded today.”; “The CRR undertakings allow
buyers of advertising airtime to renew their existing contracts with ITV,
adjusted to reflect the change in ITV1’s audience share. In its final report on
the undertakings, the CC has confirmed that the definition of ITV1 in the CRR
undertakings will now be varied so that audience share on time shifted (+1) and
high-definition ITV1 channels can be included in the CRR calculations. The CC
has also renewed its call for an overall review of the system for selling
television advertising.”

the As-Efficient-Competitor-Test is relevant not only where the abuse consists
in the difference between the dominant undertaking’s prices and costs, but also
where it is between its wholesale and retail prices. Indeed, I consider that it
is difficult to fault the General Court’s analysis in paragraphs 186 to 194 of
the judgment under appeal, since it clearly follows from relevant precedents
and from the principle of legal certainty that the As-Efficient-Competitor-Test
is the appropriate test in the context of the present case. Moreover, a large
body of opinion holds that, in general, the As-Efficient-Competitor-Test
constitutes an appropriate criterion.’(para.49)）
