Article L462-6 of the French Commercial code

The Autorité de la concurrence shall examine whether the practices referred to it fall within the scope of Articles L. 420-1 à L. 420-2-2 ou L. 420-5, are contrary to measures taken pursuant to Article L. 410-3 or may be justified by application of Article L. 420-4. Where appropriate, it issues sanctions and injunctions.

When it considers that the facts are such as to justify the application of Article L. 420-6, it sends the case file to the public prosecutor. This transmission interrupts the statute of limitations for public prosecution.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L462-6

L’Autorité de la concurrence examine si les pratiques dont elle est saisie entrent dans le champ des articles L. 420-1 à L. 420-2-2 ou L. 420-5, sont contraires aux mesures prises en application de l’article L. 410-3 ou peuvent se trouver justifiées par application de l’article L. 420-4. Elle prononce, le cas échéant, des sanctions et des injonctions.

Lorsque les faits lui paraissent de nature à justifier l’application de l’article L. 420-6, elle adresse le dossier au procureur de la République. Cette transmission interrompt la prescription de l’action publique.
