DG Competition's Registry for DMA
Due to technical constraints, the size of a single email sent to DG Competition should not exceed 15 MB. Contrary to EU SEND, emails are not an encrypted channel of communication and your content is less secure.
Secure document exchange platform
EU SEND requires prior registration. Transmissions exceeding the size limitations should be transmitted in two or three parts. A transmittal form provided by EU SEND must be completed correctly and diligently.
Electronic submissions sent by registered post
- Transmissions of over 10 gigabytes in size may be sent by registered post to the Commission’s DG Competition or hand delivered to the Commission’s Central Mail using hard disk drives, formatted in Microsoft Windows-compatible, uncompressed data in a USB 2.0 or 3.0 external enclosure.
- Transmissions of under 10 gigabytes in size. If the Commission exceptionally agrees that other means of transmission may be used (e.g. if EU SEND is not available), documents may be sent by registered post to DG Competition or hand delivered to the Commission’s Central Mail using external storage devices.
Paper submissions
Paper submissions delivered by hand or sent by registered post
Exceptionally, if the Commission agrees that submitting documents digitally is not feasible, a paper submission may be hand delivered or sent by registered post to the Commission’s Central Mail. In this case, the following must be submitted:
- a hand signed paper copy of the complete submission;
- two digital copies of the full submission in external storage devices for information (not signed); and
- a hand signed declaration stating that the signed paper copy and the digital copies are identical.
- Power of Attorney if relevant.
