The DCCA has recently changed its practice regarding press releases issued in the aftermath of unannounced inspections, so-called dawn raids.

DenmarkAntitrust/Competition Law

The Danish Competition and Consumer Authority (the "DCCA") has adopted a new practice of proactively disclosing unannounced inspections at a sector level shortly after they have been carried out. This new approach aligns with the practice of the European Commission (the "Commission") and is intended to enhance transparency.

The new policy

The DCCA has recently changed its practice regarding press releases issued in the aftermath of unannounced inspections, so-called dawn raids. Going forward, the DCCA will issue a short press release following a dawn raid. Such press release will include general information about the relevant sector or market in which the dawn raid was carried out, while refraining from disclosing the identity of the companies involved.
