81/1030/EEC: Commission Decision of 29 October 1981 relating to a proceeding under Article 86 of the EEC Treaty (IV/29.839 - GVL) (Only the German text is authentic)

• Articles: 2

Article 1

GVL's conduct prior to 21 November 1980, characterized by its failure to conclude management agreements with foreign artists where the latter were not resident in Germany, or otherwise to manage performers' rights vested in such artists in Germany, constituted, in so far as such artists possessed the nationality of a Member State of the European Communities or were resident in a Member State, an abuse of a dominant position within the meaning of Article 86 of the EEC Treaty.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Gesellschaft zur Verwertung von Leistungsschutzrechten, Esplanade 36a, Hamburg.

Done at Brussels, 29 October 1981.
