Opinion of the Advisory Committee on Concentrations delivered at its 73rd meeting on 24 January 2000 on a preliminary draft Decision in Case COMP/M.1641 - Linde/AGA

(2002/C 110/06)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the product markets should be defined in terms of the different types of gas sold, and the different forms of distribution: on-site plants and pipelines, liquefied gas, and cylinders.

2. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that in the case of liquefied and cylinder gases the relevant geographic markets will not as a rule extend beyond the territory of one Member State at a time.

3. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the concentration initially proposed would place AGA/Linde in a dominant position on the market in cylinder gases in the Netherlands.

4. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the concentration initially proposed would place AGA/Linde in a dominant position on the markets in liquefied and cylinder gases in Austria.

5. (a) A majority of the Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the concentration proposed does not raise any problem of competition on the market in gases in Germany. A minority takes the view that the concentration proposed would create or strengthen a joint dominant position held by Linde/AGA and Messer on the gas markets in Germany. Another minority abstrains.

(b) The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the concentration proposed does not raise any problem of competition on the Scandinavian gas markets.

6. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the commitments entered into by the parties are such as to overcome the problems of competition identified in points 3 and 4.

7. The Advisory Committee asks the Commission to take account of all the other points raised during the discussion, and recommends that this opinion be published.

Notice concerning anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of unwrought, unalloyed zinc originating in Poland: modification of the name of a company from which an undertaking was accepted

(2001/C 160/11)

The Commission has received a request to take account of a modification of name from a Polish company, Zaklady Gorniczo-Hutnicze Boleslaw, Bukowno (previously known as Kombinat Gorniczo-Hutniczy Boleslaw, Bukowno), whose exports to the Community of unwrought, unalloyed zinc originating in Poland are subject to anti-dumping measures pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 1931/97 of 22 September 1997(1) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of unwrought, unalloyed zinc originating, inter alia, in Poland, and pursuant to Commission Decision 97/644/EC of 3 September 1997 accepting undertakings offered by two Polish exporters in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of unwrought, unalloyed zinc originating, inter alia, in Poland(2).

The Commission has examined the information supplied, which satisfactorily demonstrates that all the company's activities linked to the manufacturing, sales and exports of unwrought unalloyed zinc are unaffected by the change of name. The Commission therefore concludes that the change of company name in no way affects the findings of the investigation, in particular the exemption from the duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1931/97 and the undertaking accepted by Decision 97/644/EC. Accordingly, the right of the renamed company to benefit from the individual measure should remain.

Therefore, the reference to Kombinat Gorniczo-Hutniczy Boleslaw, Bukowno, should be read as Zaklady Gorniczo-Hutnicze Boleslaw, Bukowno, in Articles 1(2), 2(1) and 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1931/97 and in Article 1 of Decision 97/644/EC.

Similarly, the Taric additional code 8965 previously attribvuted to Kombinat Gorniczo-Hutniczy Boleslaw, Bukowno, should remain applicable to the company under its new name, Zaklady Gorniczo-Hutnicze Boleslaw, Bukowno.
