  "text": "11.5.2.1. The mailings will be divided over six periods of 6 months, the first period starting on the date which is 3 months after the Date of the Final Decision. During these periods, Relevant Competitors may submit an application for a mailing to AIB. Each Relevant Competitor is allowed to approach AIB once in each 6 month mailing period.\n11.5.2.2. For each 6 month mailing period, the mailings shall be made on 3 predetermined dates (the ‘Mailing Dates’) taking into account the interest of the Relevant Competitors and the mailing schedule of AIB, provided that the Date of the Request by the Relevant Competitors is a reasonable number of days before the Mailing Dates to enable AIB to prepare for such voluminous mailings respectively for each of the Mailing Dates (and such requests to be received by AIB no later than 17.00 (Dublin time) on the relevant Date of the Request). AIB will ensure that the Mailing Dates are made public on AIB's website in advance, in order to allow interested Relevant Competitors a reasonable time to prepare an application. Any dispute shall be referred to the Monitoring Trustee, who shall mediate a solution. In case no solution is found, the Monitoring Trustee will refer the matter to the Commission for resolution.\n11.5.2.3. For the purposes of the mailing, AIB shall randomly select, at the request of the Relevant Competitor, up to one-third of its customer base for each mailing taking place in the first 6 month mailing period; such customer base being AIB's customers for the Relevant Product to be advertised by the Relevant Competitor in that mailing, limited solely to those AIB customers who have provided their consent to receive marketing information from AIB. AIB will select a different third of its customer base in the second 6 month mailing period and the final third of its customer base in the third period. The same process will be repeated in the successive three 6 month mailing periods. The Monitoring Trustee will verify the selection of the customers by AIB. At the request of the Relevant Competitor, the number of customers contacted during a 6 month mailing period may be reduced, on the basis of filtering criteria that can be easily implemented by AIB (meaning the instruments necessary to conduct this filtering are readily available to AIB, or are easily computable in AIB). In accordance with Irish data protection law, no customer shall be sent material where the customer has not given consent to AIB to receive similar AIB materials.\n11.5.2.4. In the interests of ensuring that consumers are not inundated unreasonably with advertising literature and in order to maximise the chances of the Material supplied by Relevant Competitors being read, the Material of no more than two Relevant Competitors per Relevant Product will be mailed on each Mailing Date by AIB in each of the 6 month mailing periods as part of this Measure.\n11.5.2.5. For the avoidance of doubt, the unused mailing opportunities shall be forfeited and not carried forward.",
