2 The Secretariat may require in a procedure that groups of more than five participants who have identical interests appoint a common representative if otherwise the investigation would be unduly complicated. It may in any event limit participation to a hearing only; the rights of parties under the Administrative Procedure Act of 20 December 1968 (1) are reserved.
3 Paragraphs 1 and 2 above apply by analogy to the procedure for granting an exceptional authorisation for an unlawful restraint of competition by the Federal Council (Art. 8).
4 In proceedings for the review of concentrations of undertakings, only the undertakings concerned have the rights of parties.
