Непротивопоставяне на концентрация, за която е постъпило уведомление

(Дело M.8672 — easyJet/Certain Air Berlin assets)

(текст от значение за ЕИП)

(2018/C 27/01)

На 12 декември 2017 г. Комисията реши да не се противопоставя на горепосочената концентрация, за която е постъпило уведомление, и да я обяви за съвместима с вътрешния пазар. Решението се основава на член 6, параграф 1, буква б) от Регламент (ЕО) No 139/2004 на Съвета (1). Пълният текст на решението е достъпен единствено на английски език и ще се публикува, след като бъдат премахнати всички професионални тайни, които могат да се съдържат в него. Той ще бъде достъпен:

Откриване на процедура

(Дело M.8394 — Essilor/Luxottica)

(текст от значение за ЕИП)

(2018/C 27/03)

На 26 септември 2017 г. Комисията реши да открие процедура по гореспоменатото дело, след като констатира, че концентрацията, за която е уведомена, поражда сериозни съмнения относно съвместимостта си с общия пазар. С откриването на процедурата разследването по отношение на концентрация, за която е подадено уведомление, навлиза във втора фаза и не засяга окончателното решение по делото. Решението се основава на член 6, параграф 1, буква в) от Регламент (ЕО) No 139/2004 на Съвета (1).

Комисията приканва заинтересованите трети страни да представят своите наблюдения относно планираната концентрация.

За да бъдат взети предвид по време на процедурата, забележките трябва да бъдат получени от Комисията не по-късно от 15 дни след датата на настоящата публикация. Забележки могат да се изпращат до Комисията по факс (+32 22964301), по електронна поща на адрес: COMP-MERGER-REGISTRY@ec.europa.eu или по пощата, с позоваване на M.8394 — Essilor/Luxottica, на следния адрес:

| 2. | На кои правни критерии трябва да бъде специално наблегнато при оценката на това дали конкретният отказ на националната спортна федерация да одобри индивидуални договори за спонсорство на професионални атлети от националния отбор за такива обозначения — така че правата за такива обозначения остават във федерацията — следва да се счита за ограничаване на свободата на атлетите да предоставят услуги съгласно член 36 от Споразумението за ЕИП или Директива 2006/123/ЕО (Директивата за услугите)?






  а) | Как ще се отрази на оценката това, че националната спортна федерация вече е сключила валиден договор с основния спонсор на националния отбор за поставяне на логото на въпросното обозначение на каските/шапките? От значение ли е този факт за оценката на това дали е налице ограничение или, алтернативно, за оценката дали са налице обективни и достатъчни основания за отказа? |

  а) | В такъв случай подлежи ли схемата за одобряване, уредена в членове 9 и 10 от глава III (относно свободата на установяване за доставчиците на услуги), за норвежки гражданин, избран да участва в националния отбор и извършващ финансова дейност във връзка със своето участие в него, на регулаторната рамка на националната спортна федерация, или схемата се урежда от член 16?
