Memo: Antitrust: Commission confirms assessment of proposed commitments from Oneworld airline alliance

The European Commission can confirm that it is assessing the effectiveness of proposed commitments received from British Airways, American Airlines and Iberia to alleviate the Commission's concerns regarding potential anticompetitive agreements under Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU, formerly Article 81 EC Treaty). The agreements relate to passenger transport on certain long-haul routes. As part of this assessment process, and before deciding whether the proposed commitments will be suitable to remedy the Commission's concerns and for a public market test, the Commission is sending the proposed commitments first to a number of key market players for comments.
