1 If a pro­hib­ited con­cen­tra­tion has been im­ple­men­ted or if a con­cen­tra­tion is pro­hib­ited after its im­ple­ment­a­tion and ex­cep­tion­al au­thor­isa­tion for the con­cen­tra­tion has not been re­ques­ted or gran­ted, the un­der­tak­ings con­cerned are re­quired to take the ne­ces­sary steps to re­store ef­fect­ive com­pet­i­tion.

2 The Com­pet­i­tion Com­mis­sion may re­quire the un­der­tak­ings con­cerned to make bind­ing pro­pos­als as to how ef­fect­ive com­pet­i­tion may be re­stored. It shall set them a dead­line with­in which to do so.

3 If the Com­pet­i­tion Com­mis­sion ac­cepts the pro­posed meas­ures, it may de­cide how and by when the un­der­tak­ings con­cerned must im­ple­ment them.

4 If the un­der­tak­ings con­cerned do not make any pro­pos­als des­pite be­ing re­quired to do so by the Com­pet­i­tion Com­mis­sion, or if the pro­pos­als are not ac­cep­ted by the Com­pet­i­tion Com­mis­sion, the Com­pet­i­tion Com­mis­sion may or­der the fol­low­ing meas­ures by way of a rul­ing:

a.

the sep­ar­a­tion of any com­bined un­der­tak­ings or as­sets;

b.

the ces­sa­tion of the con­trolling in­flu­ence;

c.

oth­er meas­ures to re­store ef­fect­ive com­pet­i­tion.
