General Court requires the European Commission to re-examine Lufthansa’s request to waive merger condition
The General Court of the European Union partially annulled a decision of the European Commission to refuse a waiver of pricing commitments entered into by Lufthansa when it acquired control of Swiss in 2005. The relevant commitments applied to two routes operated by Swiss. The ruling constitutes a setback for the Commission, and it must now re-examine the request in relation to commitments on one of the routes.
