I move amendment No. 113:

In page 71, lines 11 and 12, to delete “a national competition authority (within the meaning of the Directive)” and substitute “a competition authority of another Member State”.

These are straightforward, technical amendments to tidy up the draft. Amendment No. 113 clarifies the language defining a competition authority in another member state. Amendment No. 114 includes a provision which had been unintentionally omitted in drafting to ensure that competition authorities in Ireland have the power to assist the European Commission conducting an inspection as required by both the ECN+ directive and EU Regulation 1/2003. Amendment No. 115 deletes a comma. All these amendments are aimed at clarifying the meaning of the sections and fully transposing the ECN+ directive.
