In May 2002, the Commission carried out inspections at premises belonging to members of the Sony, Fuji and Maxell groups in five Member States. Following these inspections leniency applications were submitted and the Commission carried out further investigation. The Commission came to the preliminary conclusion that Fuji, Maxell and Sony discussed and entered into agreements and/or concerted practices in violation of Article 81 of the EC Treaty and Article 53 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area with a view to increasing and maintaining or stabilising prices for two formats of professional videotapes, Betacam SP and Digital Betacam, in the EEA, and also exchanged information to facilitate and/or monitor their implementation from at least as early as 23 August 1999 and at least until 16 May 2002.

Statement of Objections and the time to reply

On 8 March 2007 the Commission initiated proceedings and adopted a Statement of Objections (‘SO’). The addressees of the SO were Sony France SA and its parent companies Sony Europe Holding BV, Sony Corporation (hereinafter jointly referred to as ‘Sony’), FUJIFILM Recording Media GmbH and its parent companies FUJIFILM Corporation and FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (hereinafter jointly referred to as ‘Fuji’) and Maxell Europe Limited and its parent company Hitachi Maxell Limited (hereinafter jointly referred as ‘Maxell’).

The addressees received the SO between 13 and 16 March 2007, with a two-month deadline to reply. Upon their reasoned requests, I granted extensions to Fuji and Sony until 16 and 21 May 2007, respectively. All parties replied in due time.

Access to file

The parties had access to the Commission file in the form of CD-ROMs which they received together with the SO. None of the parties addressed any issues relating to access to file to me.

Maxell's leniency application

On 10 April 2007, Maxell applied for leniency under the terms of the 2002 Leniency Notice (1) which was sent to the other parties.

Oral hearing

An oral hearing was held on 12 June 2007. All addressees of the SO attended the oral hearing and presented their views.

The draft decision

In the draft decision, the Commission included a favourable assessment of Maxell's leniency application, stating that Maxell's reply corroborated to a very significant extent to the interpretation of the facts, and granted a reduction of the fine which otherwise would have been imposed on Maxell.

The draft decision is the first Commission decision in which the 2006 Guidelines on fines (2) are applied.

The draft decision submitted to the Commission only contains objections in respect of which the parties have been afforded the opportunity of making known their views.

I conclude that the rights of the parties to be heard have been respected in the present case.

Brussels, 8 November 2007.

2.   Summary of the infringement

| (7) | TV-stations and independent producers of TV-content and advertising films are the main customers of professional videotape. The decision concerns only the two most popular professional videotape formats at the time of the infringement: Betacam SP and Digital Betacam, which together represented 77 % of all professional videotape sales in the EEA in 2001. The estimated EEA market value for these two formats was approximately EUR 118 million in 2001. For that year, the three undertakings involved in the infringement held an estimated market share of 89 %. |

For that year, the three undertakings involved in the infringement held an estimated market share of 89 %.

| (8) | The decision concludes that Sony, Fuji and Maxell operated between 23 August 1999 and 16 May 2002 a cartel with a view to increasing and maintaining or stabilising prices for Betacam SP and Digital Betacam videotape in the EEA market, and also exchanged information to facilitate and/or monitor their implementation. |

| (9) | The companies organised three (successful) rounds of price increases and otherwise endeavoured to stabilise the prices. They also regularly discussed past and forthcoming tenders, typically from public and private TV-stations. |

4.1.   Basic amount of the fine

| (15) | The basic amount of the fine is determined as a proportion of the value of the sales of the relevant product made by each undertaking in the relevant geographic area during the last full business year of the infringement (‘variable amount’), multiplied by the number of years of infringement, plus an additional amount (‘entry fee’), also calculated as a proportion of the value of sales, which is meant to enhance deterrence in respect of horizontal price fixing agreements. |

4.2.   Adjustments to the basic amount

4.2.1.   Aggravating circumstances: refusal to cooperate or obstruction

| (18) | As mentioned in paragraph 2, two separate incidents occurred at Sony's premises during the inspection. The decision concludes that both incidents constituted obstruction and justify an increase of 30 % in the basic amount imposed on Sony. |

| (19) | The parties argued for the application of a series of mitigating circumstances such as early termination of the infringement, limited involvement in the infringement, effective co-operation outside the Leniency Notice, isolated and unauthorized conduct without senior management's knowledge and introduction of a compliance program after the infringement. These claims are all rejected. |

4.2.3.   Specific increase for deterrence

Annotated presentation of regulated markets and national provisions implementing relevant requirements of ISD (Council Directive 93/22/EEC)

(2008/C 57/11)

Article 47 of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, OJ L 145, 30.4.2004, p. 1) authorises each Member State to confer the status of ‘regulated market’ on those markets constituted on its territory and which comply with its regulations.

Article 4, paragraph 1, point 14 of Directive 2004/39/EC defines a ‘regulated market’ as a multilateral system operated and/or managed by a market operator, which brings together or facilitates the bringing together of multiple third-party buying and selling interests in financial instruments — in the system and in accordance with its non-discretionary rules — in a way that results in a contract, in respect of the financial instruments admitted to trading under its rules and/or systems, and which is authorized and functions regularly and in accordance with the provisions of Title III of Directive 2004/39/EC.

Article 47 of Directive 2004/39/EC requires that each Member State maintains an updated list of regulated markets authorised by it. This information should be communicated to other Member States and the European Commission. Under the same article (Article 47 of Directive 2004/39/EC), the Commission is required to publish a list of regulated markets, notified to it, on a yearly basis in the Official Journal of the European Union. The present list has been compiled pursuant to this requirement.

The attached list indicates the title of the individual markets which are recognised by national competent authorities as complying with the definition of ‘regulated market’. In addition, it indicates the entity responsible for managing these markets and the competent authority responsible for issuing or approving the rules of the market.

As a result of reduced entry barriers and specialisation in trading segments, the list of ‘regulated markets’ is subject to greater turnover than under the Council Directive 93/22/EEC on investment services. Article 47 of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive also requires the European Commission to publish the list of regulated markets on its website and to update it regularly.

Consequently, the European Commission will, in addition to yearly publication of a list in the Official Journal, maintain an updated version of this list on its official website (http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/securities/isd/mifid_en.htm). This list will be updated regularly on the basis of information communicated by national authorities. The latter are called upon to continue to advise the Commission of any additions to or deletions from the list of regulated markets for which it is the home Member State.

OPEN CALL FOR PROPOSALS — GP/RPA/ReferNet-FPA/002/08

ReferNet — European Network of Reference and Expertise in Vocational Education and Training (VET)

(2008/C 57/12)

1.   Objectives and description

The European Network of Reference and Expertise in VET (ReferNet) comprises a national consortium in each Member State, Iceland and Norway, made up of organisations representative of VET. Each consortium is led by a national consortium leader.

To facilitate these activities this call invites proposals from national consortia or key organisations involved in VET. For each eligible country one beneficiary shall be selected. The national consortium will cooperate with the national ReferNet representative and Cedefop in implementing and validating the activities.

The overall objective of this call is to select and conclude a three years framework partnership agreement with one successful applicant (one organisation or one consortium) in each of the eligible countries to set-up and lead a representative national consortium of key organisations in the field of VET in order to support Cedefop and carry out, with the consortium partners, activities agreed each year in an annual action plan.

Activities in each consortium's action plan will be selected from those listed in the ‘scope of activities’. Although the consortium leader must demonstrate that the consortium has the capacity to carry out all of the activities listed, it should be noted that not all of the activities listed need to be carried out by the consortium every year.

The consortium's annual action will be financed by a specific grant agreement concluded each year. The grant will vary according to the country size and the action (set of activities) carried out.

2.   Budget and project duration

The estimated budget available for the duration of the framework partnership agreements amounts to EUR 4 000 000 for all participating countries (EU-27, NO and IS), depending on the decisions of the Budget Authority.

The yearly total available budget (approx. EUR 1 million) will be distributed amongst all participating countries on the basis of three country groups based on population:

Country group 1: Cyprus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Slovenia and Iceland.

Country group 2: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Sweden and Norway.

Country group 3: France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom.

The Community grant is a financial contribution to the beneficiary's (and/or co-beneficiaries) costs which must be supplemented by own financial contribution and/or local, regional, national and/or private contributions. The total Community contribution shall not exceed 70 % of the eligible costs.

Cedefop reserves the right not to award the total budget available.

(summary of requirements under Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006)

4.1.   Name: ‘Edam Holland’

4.2.   Description: Edam Holland is a naturally matured semi-hard cheese. It is produced in the Netherlands from cows' milk obtained from Dutch dairy farms and is matured to a consumer-ready product in Dutch maturing rooms.

Composition

Edam Holland is produced from one or more of the following raw materials:

milk, cream and skimmed or semi-skimmed cows' milk (exclusively cows' milk) from Dutch dairy farms.

Characteristic properties

The cheese is shaped like a ball with a flattened top and bottom, or it may be shaped like a loaf or a block. The specifications are given in the table.

The moisture content applies 12 days from the first day of preparation, with the exception of Baby Edam Holland, where it applies 5 days after the first day of preparation.

The other characteristic properties are as follows:

Flavour: mild to piquant depending on age and type.

Cross-section: must be uniform in colour with a few small round holes. Bros Edam has a large number of small holes. The colour of the cheese varies from ivory to yellow.

Rind: the rind is firm, smooth, dry, clean and has no fungal flora. It is produced by drying during the maturing stage.

Texture: young Edam Holland must be sufficiently firm and cuttable. Once the cheese has matured further, it becomes firmer and tighter in structure. Bros Edam must be sufficiently firm and hard.

Maturing period: a minimum of 28 days (a minimum of 21 days for Baby Edam Holland). Edam Holland is a naturally matured cheese. Foil maturing is not permitted for Edam Holland.

Maturing temperature: at least 12 °C.

Age: the shelf-life varies from a minimum of 28 days after manufacture (Baby Edam Holland) to more than a year.

Special quality criteria

When they reach and are stored by the cheesemaker, the milk, cream or semi-skimmed milk have undergone either no heat treatment at all or a non-pasteurising heat treatment.

The cream and the skimmed or semi-skimmed milk should undergo pasteurisation immediately before being made into Edam Holland so as to meet the following criteria:

| — | phosphatase activity is undetectable, unless peroxidase activity is undetectable, |
| --- | --- |

—

phosphatase activity is undetectable, unless peroxidase activity is undetectable,

| — | measured on the basis of the fat-free product, acidity levels for cream are no higher than 20 mmol NaOH per litre, unless the lactate content is 200 mg per 100 g of fat-free matter or less, |
| --- | --- |

—

measured on the basis of the fat-free product, acidity levels for cream are no higher than 20 mmol NaOH per litre, unless the lactate content is 200 mg per 100 g of fat-free matter or less,

| — | no coliform micro-organisms are detectable in 0,1 ml. |
| --- | --- |

—

no coliform micro-organisms are detectable in 0,1 ml.

Immediately before being made into Edam Holland, all raw materials must be pasteurised in such a way that the undenatured whey protein content does not deviate or deviates only slightly from that of unpasteurised raw material of a similar type and quality.

Only non-genetically modified cultures of lactic-acid-forming and aroma-forming micro-organisms may be added when manufacturing Edam Holland. These cultures consist of appropriate mesophilic starter cultures for Edam Holland: Lactococcus and Leuconostoc L or LD, possibly in combination with thermophilic Lactobacillus and/or Lactococcus cultures. The available starter cultures play a very important role in the ripening process and formation of the typical taste and aroma.

Rennet: only calf rennet is used to manufacture Edam Holland. Other types of rennet may be used only in exceptional circumstances, such as if an animal disease makes it necessary. The rennet used will then have to comply with the Warenwetbesluit Zuivel (Dairy Products (Commodities Act) Decree).

The nitrite content of Edam Holland, in terms of nitrite ions, is no higher than 2 mg per kg cheese.

4.3.   Geographical area: The geographical area covered by the application is Holland, i.e. the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

4.4.   Proof of origin: A mark made from casein is placed on each Edam Holland cheese before the curds are pressed (see diagram). The mark contains the designation ‘Edam Holland’, together with a combination of figures and letters that is unique for each cheese (in ascending alphabetical and numerical order).

The COKZ (the Dutch dairy inspection institute) keeps a register of these unique numbers, which also contains a record of all test data (including time and place). The indication is easily recognisable to consumers, and can be verified by an approval authority on the basis of the casein mark and the COKZ register.

4.5.   Method of production: Edam Holland cheese is made from milk obtained from dairy farms in the Netherlands. The milk is cooled on the farm to a maximum of 6 °C and stored in a cooling tank on the farm. It is transported to the cheese factory within 72 hours. When it arrives at the cheese factory, it is either processed immediately or thermised (a non-pasteurising, light heat treatment) and put into cold storage for a short period of time before being turned into cheese milk.

The fat content of the milk is standardised so that the fat/protein ratio is such that the cheese eventually produced has a fat content of between 40 % and 44 % fat in dry matter. The cheese milk is pasteurised at a temperature of at least 72 °C for 15 seconds. It is curdled at a temperature of approximately 30 °C. The separation and coagulation of the milk proteins that occurs during this process is typical of Edam Holland.

The curds obtained by coagulation are separated from the whey and processed and washed to ensure that the moisture content and pH reach the desired levels. The curds are pressed into the correct shape and desired weight in vats. The resulting ‘cheese’ is then immersed in the brine bath. Edam Holland is only ever matured naturally, i.e. it is left open to the air to mature, and is regularly turned and checked. As the cheese matures, a dry rind forms. Time and temperature play an important role in ensuring that the enzymatic and ageing processes are given sufficient opportunity to allow the cheese to develop the physical and organoleptic quality that is so characteristic of Edam Holland. It can take more than a year for Edam Holland to mature, depending on the type of flavour desired.

Edam Holland may be cut and pre-packaged either in or outside the Netherlands, provided that the pre-packager has a comprehensive administrative monitoring system to ensure that the cut Edam Holland can be traced by means of the unique combination of figures and letters on the mark and that the consumer can be sure of its origin.

4.6.   Link: The geographical component of this product name is ‘Holland’. As is common knowledge, ‘Holland’ is a synonym of the more official name, ‘the Netherlands’. During the time of the Republic of the United Netherlands (from the 17th to the 19th century), Holland was the most influential of the seven provinces. Since then, the name has gradually come to refer to the whole territory of the Netherlands. In many countries the Netherlands is better known or even exclusively known as ‘Holland’ (Ollanda, etc.).

Historical background

Edam Holland is an exponent of the Dutch tradition of cheese making, which stretches back to the Middle Ages and reached maturity as early as the 17th century (the Golden Age).

It is largely the geographical position of the Netherlands (mostly below sea level), its climate (a maritime climate) and the composition of the grass that grows there (predominantly on sandy and clay soils) that make the milk so suitable for producing a high-quality cheese that is packed with flavour.

The quality assurance systems in place on dairy farms and the intensive quality assessment system (each delivery of milk is tested and assessed according to various quality parameters) together guarantee the quality of the milk. Furthermore, there is an unbroken cold chain until the moment the milk is processed, with the milk being put into cold storage on the farm (maximum 6 °C) and transported to the factory in refrigerated tankers. The relatively short distances involved also help maintain the quality of the milk.

From its beginnings in farm-based production, Edam Holland has developed, by way of production in local factories, to become a nationally produced product of worldwide renown, and is an important, stable factor in optimising the quality of farm milk. At the beginning of the 20th century, national laws were introduced on Edam cheese, and the name of Edam Holland was established in the Landbouwkwaliteitsbeschikking kaasproducten (Agricultural Quality Decision on Cheese Products).

Edam Holland's image among European consumers

A large-scale survey carried out in six European countries showed that European consumers see the Netherlands as the most important producer of Edam (and Gouda). Furthermore, the reputation and standing of Edam (and Gouda) are associated with the Netherlands.

Edam (and Gouda) are symbols of Dutch cultural heritage. European consumers regard them as brands. They are synonymous with Dutch quality. Market research (carried out on a representative sample of 1 250 respondents per Member State, with 97,5 % reliability) in the six Member States where Edam (and Gouda) consumption is highest shows that:

there is a strong association between Edam and the Netherlands,

Edam Holland is more popular than Edam produced outside the Netherlands,

almost half of consumers in the Member States surveyed believe that all Edam is produced in the Netherlands (which is potentially misleading for European consumers, because this is not the case),

Edam Holland scores significantly higher on the variables ‘excellent quality’, ‘traditionally manufactured’ and ‘the original product’.

Over a number of centuries, various measures and laws have been introduced, both by the Dutch Government and by the industry, to ensure that the very high quality of Edam (and Gouda) is maintained. Moreover, the Dutch dairy industry has invested a substantial amount of money in meeting these high quality standards and opening up, cultivating and maintaining markets. Since 1950, more than NLG 1,4 billion (EUR 635 million) has been invested in advertising, awareness-raising and promotion in Europe (excluding investment in the Netherlands).

4.8.   Labelling: ‘Edam Holland’ is a European Union Protected Geographical Indication (PGI).

This indication must be displayed in a prominent position on all whole cheeses on the label applied to the flat side of the cheese and/or on the band around the cheese. This is not compulsory if the cheese is sold in pre-cut and pre-packaged form as described in section 4.5. In that case, ‘Edam Holland’ must be displayed on the packaging.

A clear distinguishing mark must be displayed on the packaging to enable consumers to identify Edam Holland on the shelves. By giving the product a name, creating an own identity (a logo is being developed) and displaying the EU's PGI symbol, it must be made clear to consumers that Edam Holland is a different product from all other ‘Edam’ cheeses. The aim of the application is to prevent European consumers from potentially being misled.
