# Commission Decision of 13 September 2007 relating to a proceeding pursuant to Article 81 of the EC Treaty (Case COMP/E-2/39.143 — Opel) (notified under document number C(2007) 4277) (Only the English text is authentic) (2007/836/EC), Division (4)

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

In the Commission’s preliminary assessment, GME seemed to have failed to release certain categories of technical repair information well after the end of the transitional period provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1400/2002 of 31 July 2002 on the application of Article 81(3) of the Treaty to categories of vertical agreements and concerted practices in the motor vehicle sector. Moreover, at the time that the Commission’s investigation was launched, GME had still not put in place an effective system to allow independent repairers to have access to technical repair information in an unbundled manner. Although GME improved the accessibility of its technical information over the course of the Commission investigation, the information made available to independent repairers seemed to be still incomplete.
