Y por casa ( Argentina ) como andamos con las "comisiones de defensa de la competencia" ? Alguna arremetida contra corporaciones ? o todo tranquilo? ;-) Aca unos extractos de la press release de la EC http://video.google.es/videoplay?docid=-8717117502868285778&hl=es Idem aca ( pero requiere registracion ): http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/ebs/schedule.cfm?date=02/27/2008#s68899 Algunos extractos interesantes de dicha conferencia de prensa: " There are lessons that I hope Microsoft and any other company contemplating similar illegal action, will learn. Talk, as you know, is cheap; flouting the rules is expensive, so to say. We don't want talk and promises, we want compliance. If you flout the rules you will be caught, and it will cost you dear. This is by the way the third time in four years that we have had to impose fines or penalty payments on Microsoft. The first fine as you remember was for the abuse itself, everything up until March 2004. Then, the Commission had to impose a penalty payment in July 2006 for the non-delivery of complete and accurate interoperability information. And that was the first time that a penalty payment for non-compliance with a Commission decision had been necessary in fifty years of EC Competition Law. ... Finally, after three years of illegal behavior, it appears that Microsoft has come into compliance with the 2004 decision. ... And as you are aware one concerns interoperability information across a broad range of products, including Microsoft's Office suite and a number of its server products. And the other concerns tying of Internet Explorer and other separate software products with the Microsoft PC operating system. Those investigations are separate and continuing, and I can offer no comment until the investigation is complete. But you are not expecting any comment on that one. ... But again, and I stress that a press release in itself, such as that issued by Microsoft last week on interoperability principles, does not necessarily equal a change in a business practice. And if change is needed -- and as I say, I have reached no conclusion on that -- then the change will need to be in the market, not in the rhetoric. We do have some experience on that. To finish, I think it is important to share a little insight into our consistent approach to illegal behavior. It's not my job to tell people or to tell companies what to buy, but it is my job to ensure they have a choice about what they can buy. Competition policy is about making sure that people and companies have the right to choose. And when people and companies are given that right to choose, then markets deliver so much more -- and that is why I am passionate about making markets work better. And today's decision sends, again, a strong signal that consumers can expect choice in Europe and can expect the European Commission to fight for their right to choice.
