Summary:

The Autoritu00c3 de la concurrence has published a new procedural notice on its leniency programme, which consolidates the applicable legal framework to encourage undertakings to use the leniency procedure. The notice provides greater clarity and predictability on the processing of applications, replacing the 2015 procedural notice. The key updates include the abolishment of the leniency notice by the Board, new eligibility conditions for immunity, clarification on the use of a marker in the leniency queue, and guarantees for leniency beneficiaries. The notice also modernizes the application submission and collection process, allowing for electronic submission. This revised notice provides an effective framework for detecting anticompetitive practices by the Autoritu00c3.
