117 COMPETITION LAW The Council of State has accepted the revision of the Decision appeal, even though is late. Now, everything is going to start from the beginning, legally, and in the event the Decision is annulled, it will be necessary for another decision to be rendered. Thus, the chance of answering many questions that have not been answered thus far has arisen once again. In this sense, it is possible to reconsider everything and to produce completely different results, much like the second half of a football competition. The 12 Banks Decision is a milestone, especially in respect of compensation cases arising from competition law. For this reason, it is clear that developments in this area are closely related to thousands of compensation cases. The most important contribution that the Board can make to these cases in the re-decision process is to clearly answer the questions of “which bank, in which market, and what time interval is involved.” This necessitates the precise connection between the evi- dence and the actions of the banks. If this is not done, perhaps the most important Decision in the history of Turkish Competition Law will remain incomplete. Therefore, for ‘a fairer second half ’ , all uncertain- ties of the ‘game’ must be eliminated, because clean and clear water is found in deep wells.
