Duration of Part A competition notice

(1) A Part A competition notice comes into force:

and, unless sooner revoked, remains in force until the end of the period specified in the notice. The period must not be longer than 12 months.

(2) If a Part A competition notice expires, this Part does not prevent the Commission from issuing a fresh Part A competition notice under section 151AKA that relates to the same matter as the expired notice.
