Malta 1995 Divestiture

This seems to allow the commission to make structural changes, that would count as divestiture, correct?

Article 13 -

(2) The power to issue a cease and desist order or a compliance order in cases of infringements as defined in article 12A(2) and (3) shall rest solely with the Commission.

(3) Any behavioural or structural remedies set out in a compliance order shall be proportionate to the infringement committed and necessary to bring the infringement effectively to an end.

(4) Structural remedies set out in a compliance order may be imposed only where there is no equally effective behavioural remedy or where any equally effective behavioural remedy would be more burdensome for the undertaking concerned than the structural remedy.
