2. The public service obligation is as follows:

2.1 Minimum frequencies

A regular air service - in the form of a service at each end of the day - must be maintained. At each end of the day means that there will be a morning return flight between 6 and 10 a.m. and an evening flight between 3 and 10 p.m. between the point of origin and the given destination, and back again. The evening flight on a Friday can take place from 1 p.m. onwards. That requirement shall apply throughout the year. A limited air service is possible between Christmas and the New Year.

2.2 Capacity

Aircraft having at least 18 passenger seats must be used for the flights involved.

2.3 Aircraft types

The flights from/to Erfurt airport must be carried out in accordance with the instrument flight rules (IFR).

The maximum basic fare for a single flight on the individual routes may not exceed DEM 170 (EUR 86,92) plus DEM 0,50 (EUR 0,26) per kilometre of linear distance between the airport reference points concerned.

2.5 Continuity of air services

The number of flights cancelled for reasons that can be directly attributed to the air carrier may not exceed 2 % of the estimated annual number of flights.

3. The air carriers will be informed that provision of the air transport services will be put out to tender and that contracts are to be awarded with effect from 1 July 2000. An appropriate invitation to tender in pursuance of Article 4(1)(d) of Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 will shortly be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Commission opinion

of 24 July 2000

concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from the decommissioning and dismantling of the Braunschweig Research and Measuring Reactor (FMRB) located in Lower-Saxony in the Federal Republic of Germany in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(2000/C 223/02)

(Only the German text is authentic)

On 10 January 2000, the European Commission received from the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, general data relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste resulting from the decommissioning and dismantling of the Braunschweig Research and Measuring Reactor (FMRB).

On the basis of these data and clarifications subsequently provided by the German Government, and following consultation with the group of experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion.

(a) The distance between the plant and the nearest point of another Member State, in this case the Netherlands, is approximately 230 km.

(b) Under normal operating conditions, the discharges of liquid and gaseous effluents will not cause an exposure of the population in other Member States significant from the point of view of health.

(c) Radioactive waste arising from the dismantling operations will be stored or disposed of in licensed sites in Germany; non-radioactive solid waste or residual materials and materials which are released from regulatory control will be released for disposal as conventional waste or for reuse or recycling, in all cases complying with the clearance criteria laid down in the basic safety standards (Directive 96/29/Euratom).

(d) In the event of unplanned discharges of readioactive waste which may follow an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the general data, the doses likely to be received by the population in other Member States would not be significant from the point of view of health.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from the decommissioning and dismantling of the Braunschweig Research and Measuring Reactor (FMRB) located in Lower-Saxony in the Federal Republic of Germany, both in normal operation and in the event of an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the general data, is not liable to result in the radioactive contamination, significant from the point of view of health, of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State.

If in the circumstances of a particular case the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg refuses to give its consent following a request by a Member State in application of the provisions of paragraph 1, it will indicate the reasons for its decision in writing."

(Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters)

In accordance with arrangements notified in Council document 7998/00 of 19 April 2000, where decisions of a Gibraltar court are to be directly enforced by a court or other enforcement authority in another Member State under the relevant provisions of this Regulation, the documents containing such decisions of the Gibraltar court will be certified as authentic by the United Kingdom/Gibraltar Liaison Unit for EU Affairs of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office based in London ("the Unit").

Opinion

of the Advisory Committee on concentrations given at the 69th meeting on 23 September 1999 concerning a preliminary draft decision relating to Case IV/M.1439 - Telia/Telenor

(2001/C 43/02)

1. The Committee agrees with the Commission that the notified operation constitutes a concentration within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation and has a Community dimension as defined by Article 1(2) of the Regulation.

2. The Committee agrees with the Commission that the concentration creates or strengthens a dominant position in various Swedish and Norwegian markets for telephony services as well as at various levels of the TV distribution chain, as set out in the draft decision.

3. The Committee agrees with the Commission that the creation or strengthening of dominant positions is reinforced by the vertical integration of Telia and Telenor.

4. The Committee agrees with the Commission that the undertakings offered by the parties are insufficient to resolve the competition problems to which the merger gives rise and, therefore, that effective competition would be significantly impeded in the common market within the meaning of Article 2(3) of the Merger Regulation.

5. The Committee agrees with the Commission that the concentration should be declared incompatible with the common market and with the functioning of the EEA agreement.

6. The Committee invites the Commission to take note of the points made in discussion.

7. The Committee recommends publication of this Opinion in the Official Journal of the European Community.
