Competition interim measures: prepare urgency evidence
France and Switzerland require separate examination of urgent competition intervention. Identify the alleged practice, current harm and precise temporary action requested. French statutory serious-and-immediate-harm conditions should not be imported automatically into Switzerland. This dossier concerns initial protective intervention, not an appeal seeking suspension of an existing administrative decision, and it does not decide the underlying infringement.
