The main elements of the amendments were as follows: creating a more effective mechanism for the criminal prosecution of the most egregious forms of cartel agreements between or among competitors and introducing a non-criminal review process for other forms of competitor collaborations; allowing the Competition Tribunal to award administrative monetary penalties against companies that have abused a dominant position in the marketplace; introducing a two-stage merger review process to allow for a more efficient and effective review o ...[+++]f proposed merger transactions; increasing penalties for deceptive marketing practices; expressly empowering the courts to award restitution to victims of false or misleading representations; and finally, repealing criminal sanctions for certain pricing practices to ensure that creative pro-competitive initiatives are encouraged.

One last point I would like to add is that the suggestion which the Commission has made on the proposal for a Council decision for introducing this evaluation mechanism has significant implications for new Member States as well, as we are discussing in this case a procedure for implementing the Schengen acquis provisions in two stages.

In addition, the Council agreed in particular to postponing the next stage by two years to 1 January 2009, and to the decision on that stage being reached by way of codecision procedure rather than an automatic mechanism, which was also an issue in the debate.

- 4 - This situation gives a special significance to the rules on budgetary discipline (Council Decision 88/377/EEC of 24 June 1988. * * * 4. Price proposals and related measures The analysis of the agricultural situation in the 1990/91 marketing year and the market outlook for the coming years clearly indicate that, after two years of relief and despite considerable efforts of adjustment over a number of years, market imbalances are growing again and that prospects for the foreseeable future are not encouraging. This new deterioration in the situation calls for an in-depth reform of the Common Agricultural Policy in order to tackle the problems at their roots.

However, the considerable deterioration of the budgetary situation for 1991 and the worsening prospects for 1992 oblige the Commission, in the interests of budgetary discipline, to supplement its roll-over price proposals for the 1991/92 marketing year by a number of specific proposals designed to contain agricultural expenditure. a) Common prices The Commission considers that for the majority of products it is desirable to propose the continued application of 1990/91 prices subject, of course, to the effects of the application of the stabiliser mechanisms.

These two points are indissociable, particularly in the context of the third stage of economic and monetary union, when a mechanism to replace the current EMS will have to be introduced for those Member States unable to adopt the single currency from the outset.

However, since the question of the place of taxation - in particular for supplies of goods - can be addressed only in the light of the answers which will emerge as the debate progresses, at this stage we propose basing ourselves on the idea that there are two aspects to the objective in view: to make transactions subject to tax without the remission of tax/charging of tax mechanism and without deferral or suspension of tax, and to avoid, as far as possible, the constraints under which traders operate today.
