Brussels, 20/09/2005 (Agence Europe) - On 20 September, the spokesperson to Neelie Kroes confirmed that the Commission had received "informal complaints" concerning Microsoft, but refused to say any more, stressing that the Commission will not decide whether or not to open further proceedings against the American company until it has analysed them fully. In an interview with the daily newspaper International Herald Tribune the same day, the Commissioner for Competition said, on the subject of these informal complaints: "we are not going to wait and do nothing". The interpretation of her words was felt to be ambiguous and called for clarifications from her spokesperson, who stressed that generally speaking, the Commission makes a decision, on the basis of its analysis, whether or not it should open proceedings, but that no distinctions were drawn between formal complaints and any other. He also pointed out that the Commission was concentrating on Microsoft's implementation of its decision of March 2004, and that it would continue to analyse market tests on inter-operability (EUROPE 8962). In this case, the Court of First Instance is to resume hearing of the parties in mid-2006 (EUROPE 9030).
