Microsoft (Case T-201/04) - Arrest

Microsoft (HvJ 27-06-2012, Zaak T-201/04)

Relevant artikel

Artikel 86 EEG-verdrag

Casus

De Microsoft zaak is een ingewikkelde en lange zaak, maar wel een van de belangrijkste zaken als het gaat om de ontwikkeling van het mededingingsrecht. Na ruim vijf jaar procederen concludeerde de commissie in maart 2004 dat Microsoft misbruikt had gemaakt van haar machtspositie op de markt van pc-besturingssystemen, omdat:

  • Microsoft geweigerd heeft om informatie over interoperabiliteit te verstrekken die noodzakelijk was voor haar concurrenten op de markt om effectief te kunnen concurreren.
  • Omdat Microsoft de Windows Media Player technisch koppelde aan het windowsbesturingssysteem waardoor concurrenten van de media player niet effectief konden concurreren.

Microsoft stelde bij het Hof een nietigverklaring in tegen dit besluit van de commissie.

Uitspraak & rechtsregel

Microsoft heeft geen enkel argument aangevoerd dat kan afdoen aan de gegrondheid van de vaststellingen van de commissie in de bestreden beschikking met betrekking tot de voorwaarde inzake de beperking van de mededinging. Het Gerecht concludeert daarom dat de commissie rechtens genoeg heeft aangetoond dat de voorwaarde van machtsmisbruik in dit geval is vervuld. Door het Hof wordt gebruik gemaakt van de Magill toets:

  • Onontbeerlijke aard van de voorziening ;
  • Nieuw product;
  • Uitschakeling van mededinging;
  • Ontbreken van een objectieve rechtvaardiging.
