• Prior notification of a concentration
• Non-opposition to a notified concentration
• Initiation of proceedings
• Renotification of a previously notified concentration
• Withdrawal of notification of a concentration
• Inapplicability of the Regulation to a notified operation
• Opinion of the Advisory Committee on Concentrations
• Final report of the Hearing Officer
• Request of/for examination of a concentration
• Recommencement of procedure
• Completion of the notification
• The final decision is translated in all languages and eventually published in the Official Journal L series.
