Division 6 Section 6 — Exposure to competition

Certain points may not be relevant for some activities or the factual situation of a given applicant — in such cases, please indicate so point by point.

The applicant may limit itself to giving a precise reference point by point to the relevant part(s) of a reasoned and substantiated position as referred to in Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU, adopted by an independent national authority that is competent in relation to the activity concerned, in which the point concerned is analysed.

According to Article 34(2) of Directive 2014/25/EU, the question of whether an activity is directly exposed to competition must be decided on the basis of criteria that are in conformity with provisions on competition of the TFEU, such as the characteristics of the goods or services concerned, the existence of alternative goods or services, the prices, and the actual or potential presence of more than one supplier of the goods or services in question.
