Competition commitments: track implementation
France and Switzerland use distinct negotiated competition instruments. Identify the actual decision and obligations before tracking owners, dates and implementation evidence. French commitments and settlement are not interchangeable, and a Swiss amicable agreement does not automatically remove infringement or sanction questions. This register concerns performance of identified obligations rather than a generic investigation-response guide.
