48In the event of such annulment with the retroactive effect that attaches to it, the Commission should take a new decision on the provisions of the notified agreement affected by that annulment and adjudicate in particular on the application for negative clearance, by reference to the date of notification and, consequently, by carrying out its examination under Regulation No 17 (see, to that effect, Case C-415/96 Spain v Commission [1998] ECR I-6993, paragraph 31). The fact that Regulation No 1/2003, which now governs the implementation of the rules on competition laid down in Articles 81 EC and 82 EC, put an end to the notification procedure which previously existed therefore has no effect on the enforcement of a judgment granting the applicants application for annulment.
