From the Presidency of the Competition Authority:

Communiqué on an Amendment to the Communiqué No. 1997/1 on the Mergers and Acquisitions Calling for the Authorization of the Competition Board, and

Communiqué No. 2006/2

ARTICLE 1- Article 5 paragraph six of the Communiqué No. 1997/1 on the Mergers and Acquisitions Calling for the Authorization of the Competition Board,

published in the Official Gazette dated 12/8/1997 and numbered 23078 has been

amended as follows.

“A merger or an acquisition shall not legally become valid until a decision,

either explicitly under Article 10 paragraph one of the Act, or tacitly under paragraph

this Communiqué. In case the notification is deemed as not having been made,

Article 11 of the Act shall be applied.”

The following paragraph seven has been added to follow paragraph six of the

same article.

“In case merger or acquisition operations subject to authorization are realized

without the authorization of the Competition Board, fine shall be applied in

accordance with article 16 paragraph one sub-paragraph (c) of the Act. In case the

fine mentioned in this sub-paragraph is applied on associations or associations of

undertakings having legal personality, natural persons employed in managerial

amended as follows.

“ARTICLE 8- Should the Competition Board concludes, as a result of the

examination of a notification made pursuant to this Communiqué, that the operation

notified is not a merger or an acquisition, it may consider this notification as an

application for negative clearance pursuant to Article 8 of the Act, or as an

application for exemption under Article 5 of the Act.”

ARTICLE 3- Article 9 of the Communiqué No. 1997/1 on the Mergers and Acquisitions Calling for the Authorization of the Competition Board has been

amended as follows.

“ARTICLE 9- In cases where the decision by the Competition Board made

explicitly under Article 10 paragraph one of the Act, or tacitly under paragraph two of

the same article that a merger or an acquisition is not contrary to Article 7 of the Act

has been taken due to incorrect or misleading information by one of the

undertakings, or the obligations attached to the decision have not been fulfilled, the

Board may place the merger or acquisition under re-examination, and may decide on

prohibition and the application of the other sanctions.”

ARTICLE 4- The Communiqué of the Competition Board No. 1997/2 on the Procedures and Principles for the Notification of Agreements, Concerted Practices,

and Decisions by Associations of Undertakings Pursuant to Article 10 of the Act,
