(2) While the Commission’s investigation is ongoing, the CMA must not open or re-open any investigation by virtue of section 25(2), (4) or (6) of the 1998 Act into the competition concerns with which the Commission’s investigation is concerned.
(3) Nothing in sub-paragraph (2) prevents the CMA from opening an investigation by virtue of section 25(2), (4) or (6) into competition concerns relating to an agreement, decision, concerted practice or abuse of a dominant position insofar as those concerns relate to the effects arising from the agreement, decision, concerted practice or abuse of a dominant position on and after IP completion day.
