TCA Revises Interim Measures for Maçkolik Upon Re-Assessment
In its decision dated 12.10.2023 , the Turkish Competition Authority (“TCA”) revised certain parts of its interim measures that were made binding upon Mackolik İnternet Hizmetleri Ticaret A.Ş. (“Maçkolik”) – a sports live score tracking application – earlier with its decision dated 07.09.2023 upon Maçkolik’s application for re-assesment pursuant to Article 11 of the Turkish Administrative Procedure Law No. 2577 (“Law No. 2577”) (“Maçkolik II Decision”), by a majority vote. Accordingly, the TCA concluded, regarding the request of Maçkolik to be allowed to carry out its activities through separate websites that meet the TCA’s concerns in its application, alteration of its former assessments on the concrete case became necessary since Maçkolik’s such revisions provided the necessary remedies to address a solution for both websites to coexist.
