    TREATY ESTABLISHING THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY - TITLE V : COMMON RULES ON COMPETITION TAXATION AND APPROXIMATION OF LAWS - CHAPITRE 3 : APPROXIMATIONS OF LAWS - ARTICLE 102 /* CODIFIED VERSION OF THE TREATY ESTABLISHING THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY */

    Official Journal C 224 , 31/08/1992 P. 0033


    Article 102

    1. Where there is a reason to fear that the adoption or amendment of a provision laid down by law, regulation or administrative action may cause distortion within the meaning of Article 101, a Member State desiring to proceed therewith shall consult the Commission. After consulting the Member States, the Commission shall recommend to the States concerned such measures as may be appropriate to avoid the distortion in question.

    2. If a State disiring to introduce or amend its own provisions does not comply with the recommendation addressed to it by the Commission, other Member States shall not be required, in pursuance of Article 101, to amend their own provisions in order to eliminate such distortion. If the Member State wich has ignored the recommendation of the Commission causes distortion detrimental only to itself, the provisions of Article 101 shall not apply.
