90That recital bears no relation to the national authorities’ loss of jurisdiction provided for in Article 11(6) of Regulation No 1/2003. It must be read in combination with Article 13 of that regulation, according to which each national competition authority within the network of competition authorities has the possibility — but is not under any obligation — to suspend the proceeding which it has opened or to reject a complaint which it has received, where another national authority within that network is already dealing with the same case. Article 13 and recital 18 of Regulation No 1/2003 reflect the broad discretion which the national authorities joined together in that network have in order to ensure an optimal attribution of cases within the latter.
