Pursuant to paragraph 1 of Article 17 of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse (market abuse regulation) and repealing Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Directives 2003/124/EC, 2003/125/EC and 2004/72/EC, Article 136 of the Financial Instruments Market Act, Rules of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange and the valid legislation, Telekom Slovenije, d.d., Cigaletova 15, Ljubljana, hereby informs the public that it received the ruling of the Administrative Court of the Republic of Slovenia issued on 9 January 2018 in the judicial review of administrative acts that Telekom Slovenije, d.d, filed as the plaintiff against the Slovenian Competition Protection Agency (hereinafter: CPA) seeking to revoke CPA’s decision no. 306-23/2013-151 of 2 February 2015.

The Administrative Court of the Republic of Slovenia partly ruled in favour of the plaintiff, i.e. in the part where Telekom Slovenije is accused of abusing its dominant position in the carrier market of broadband bitstream access in the Republic of Slovenia between 1 July 2005 and 22 September 2008, allegedly imposing additional obligation on alternative operators using its wholesale service of broadband bitstream access, i.e. the end user or operator’s obligation to lease the phone connection, which was unnecessary considering the business practice and the operator’s usual practice. CPA’s decision no. 06-23/2013-151 of 2 February 2015 is therefore revoked in this part, and the matter returned to CPA. The Administrative Court of the Republic of Slovenia rejected the plaintiff in other parts.

Telekom Slovenije, d.d., will examine the ruling of the Administrative Court of the Republic of Slovenia, and then decide on further steps.

This notification will also be available on the company’s website (www.telekom.si) for at least 5 years after it is published.
