	Petrofina SA v Commission of the European Communities. (Competition) [1991] EUECJ T-2/89 (24 October 1991)
		Petrofina was thus unable to defend itself, especially since the Commission had forbidden those documents from being communicated to the undertakings' commercial departments.
		The Commission further points out that Petrofina does not allege that the provisional minutes were not a fair and accurate report of the hearings and that the members of the Commission had at their disposal not only the provisional minutes but also the observations which the undertakings had made on them.
		Although it is not certain that Petrofina was represented separately at the meetings before March 1982, the fact that its situation was generally treated separately from that of Monte in the market-sharing schemes would suggest that it participated in the cartel from 1980.

		The parties agreed to comply with the existing provision in the Act that enabled Petrofina to defer tax on the asset transfer to Petro-Canada Petroleum, which inherited the potential tax liability by assuming Petrofina's tax value of the assets.
		Technically, however, Petrofina's transfer of its assets to Petro-Canada Petroleum in return for preferred shares eliminated this question because the shares were clearly movable property.
		The Department concluded that it was obliged to rule favourably, and that the question of whether the transactions were considered to be designed primarily for improper avoidance, reduction or deferral of tax, did not arise.
