German term or phrase: zunaechst einmal (in this context)
from cartel administration proceedings:

"Das haengt mit der schon erwaehnten Besonderheit des Fusionskontrollverfahrens zusammen, dass der angemeldete Zusammenschluss sofort nach der Freigabeentscheidung (mit Ausnahme des Falls einer mit der Freigabe verbundenen aufschiebenden Bedingung) vollzogen werden kann, die Beigeladenen also zunaechst einmal den Schutz des Vollzugsverbots verlieren."

Since this term seems to have a billion different meanings, what would you say?

Thanks.
