Article 4
In respect of all links to Corsica, SNCM shall, from the date on which this Decision is notified and until 31 December 2006, refrain from pursuing a fares policy in respect of published fares intended to offer lower fares than those of each of its competitors for equivalent destinations and services and identical dates.
The Commission reserves the right to initiate an investigation procedure whenever it finds that the conditions laid down in this Decision have not been complied with, and in particular the condition laid down in the first paragraph.
The condition laid down in the first paragraph is complied with if every day the lowest prices advertised by SNCM are higher than the lowest promotional prices advertised by each of its competitors for equivalent destinations and services.
The condition laid down in the first paragraph shall no longer apply if the prices of the said competitors exceed SNCM's fares that were in force in the reference year 1996, corrected for inflation.
Before 30 June each year, France shall inform the Commission of all the elements necessary to show that this condition has been duly complied with in the preceding calendar year in respect of all crossings to or from Corsica.
