The European Commission has adopted a decision that renders legally binding commitments offered by the French energy company GDF Suez to boost competition on the French gas market. In particular, the commitments address Commission concerns that GDF Suez may have closed off competitors from access to gas import capacity into France in breach of EU rules on abuse of a dominant market position (Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) - see IP/09/1097). In response to the Commission's concerns, GDF Suez offered a major structural reduction of its long-term reservations on French gas import infrastructure capacity. In the light of GDF Suez's commitments, the Commission has now closed its investigation. |
