23/07/2009 (Agence Europe) - On Thursday 23 July, the European Commission stated that it is satisfied that amendments made to the Slovak Competition Act have brought it into conformity with EU law by ensuring that the Slovak Competition Authority can apply EU antitrust rules to the electronic communications, energy and post sectors and has therefore closed its infringement procedure against Slovakia. The infringement procedure against Slovakia is now closed. (L.C./trans/rh)
