- Excerpt from Regulation Authorities - French Competition Authority:

Statements of reasons cannot be disassociated from the operative part of a decision and therefore do not qualify for appeal -

Having been notified of an appeal against the Competition Authority’s decision regarding a joint acquisition of retail trade warehouses, the Conseil d’État stated that the assessments the Competition Authority made in the decision’s statements of reasons cannot be disassociated from the operative part of the decision, which such statements support.
