Following the expiration of three Competition Board (the
"Board") members' terms of office in August 2022, the
Board had lost its final decision quorum. During this period, the
Board could not adopt final decisions on processes such as M&A
notifications or (preliminary) investigations and waited for the
appointment of new members. The Board resumed its routine practice
once new members were appointed on 3 September 2022.
Although the lack of the Board's decision quorum
disrupted the final decision processes roughly for a month, the
third quarter of 2022 still presented many developments in the
competition law area. During this period, the Board (i) announced
its decision to apply interim measures on Krea İçerik
Hizmetleri ve Prodüksiyon Anonim Şirketi
("Krea"), which operates under the Digiturk brand, (ii)
published several reasoned decisions on the hindrance of on-site
inspection for different undertakings, (iii) ceased several overdue
(preliminary) investigations
