  • carlsberg: Notice published in the Official Journal whereby the Commission informs third parties of a notification and invites them to submit information and/or comments concerning the notified case. The invitation contains a short summary of the case and is published in the Official Journal with the consent of the parties directly involved in the matter. This possibility of obtaining case-related information was first used by the Commission in the 'Carlsberg' case in 1992. In contrast to an Article 19(3) notice, a Carlsberg notice is neutral and gives no indication on the orientation of the Commission. As regards mergers, the Commission is obliged to publish the fact that a merger has been notified, at the same time indicating the names of the parties, the nature of the concentration and the economic sector involved.
