95/551/EC: Commission Decision of 29 November 1995 relating… Article 3

Article 3

SCK has infringed Article 85 (1) of the EC Treaty by prohibiting its affiliated firms during the period 1 January 1991 to 4 November 1993, with the exception of the period between 17 February and 9 July 1992, from hiring cranes from firms not affiliated to SCK, as a result of which, given the fact that the SCK certification system in the said period did not meet the criterion of openness and did not allow the acceptance of equivalent guarantees from other systems, access to the Netherlands crane-hire business by crane-hire companies not affiliated to SCK, and in particular foreign crane-hire companies, was impeded.
