S.L. 379.10 Art. 6Only one applicant shall benefit from immunity from penalties.

(1) Subject to the provisions of regulation 14, where more than one applicant submits a leniency application, the Director

General shall assess the applications in the order in which they have been submitted:

Provided that information submitted in hypothetical terms pursuant to regulation 16 shall not be eligible for any order of classification in terms of this sub-regulation:

Provided further that only the first applicant who fulfils the conditions laid down in regulation 5(1) may benefit from immunity from penalties.

(2) Where a leniency application meets the conditions for immunity from penalties, any applications of other applicants shall be assessed in the order in which they have been submitted for a possible reduction of penalties in accordance with the provisions of regulation 8, unless the applicant has specified that his application is to be considered exclusively for immunity from penalties.

(3) Where the Director General rejects an application for immunity from penalties, the applicant concerned may request that the Office considers its application as an application for a reduction of penalties.
