Videre vises det til øvrig skriftlig korrespondanse og annen kontakt i saken. (2) Partene har fremsatt forslag til avhjelpende tiltak.1 Konkurransetilsynet har funnet at de foreslåtte avhjelpende tiltakene ikke vil avbøte de konkurransemessige virkningene som foretakssammenslutningen vil føre til. (3) Konkurransetilsynet har kommet til at foretakssammenslutningen mellom Sogn og Fjordane fylkeskommune ("SFJ") og Torghatten ASA ("Torghatten") vil føre til en vesentlig begrensning av konkurransen i markedet for drift av ferjesamband. (4) Konkurransetilsynet har på denne bakgrunn besluttet å gripe inn mot foretakssammenslutningen med hjemmel i konkurranseloven2 § 16 jf. § 20 fjerde ledd. 1 Innledning 1.1 Sakens bakgrunn (5) Saken gjelder foretakssammenslutning mellom SFJ og Torghatten, også omtalt som "partene". (6) I henhold til aksjekjøpsavtale datert 28. november 2015 skal Torghatten erverve 50 prosent av aksjene i F1 Holding AS ("F1 Holding"), som før transaksjonen er 100 prosent eiet av SFJ. F1 Holding eier 59 prosent av aksjene i foretaket Fjord1 AS ("Fjord1"). Havilafjord AS ("Havilafjord") eier de resterende 41 prosent av aksjene i Fjord1. (7) Partene har inngått en aksjonæravtale ("Aksjonæravtalen"),3 som nærmere regulerer rettigheter og plikter i tilknytning til partenes eierskap i F1 Holding. Det fremgår av Aksjonæravtalen at Torghatten har en kjøpsopsjon og SFJ en salgsopsjon knyttet til SFJs eierandel i F1 Holding.

  • The Counteractive Effect Between Competitive Tendering and Structural Changes in the Norwegian Ferry Sector
    B DEDICATION To my late sister Flora E. Mwesiumo who passed away during the early stages of this work. i PREFACE It was during my internship at Tanzania National Hospital in 2007 that for the first time I was practically engaged in the public procurement practice. I was involved in procurement planning, sourcing, evaluation, and selection of suppliers. Competitive tendering was the main procurement method we often applied. That experience was both, challenging and exciting; several times we had to repeat tendering process due to insufficient number of bidders. By then, I did not have much knolwledge about dynamics of markets and their implications to the competitive tendering process. Later on in 2008, I joined an International consulting firm, Ernst & Young and worked as an Auditor. During my tenure, I was on several occasions assigned to review procurement processes and procurement accounts of our clients. Through discussions and interrogations with clients, it was vivid that, in some cases, due to limited number of potential suppliers, purchasing/procurement personnel were facing a big challenge to acquire the best quality goods/services at lowest possible prices.
