Notice of creditors' meeting of AB bankas Snoras Pursuant to Directive 2001/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the reorganisation and winding up of credit institutions

2012/C 162/09

AB bankas Snoras (in bankruptcy)

Notice of First Creditors’ Meeting

The first creditors’ meeting of AB bankas Snoras (in bankruptcy) (‘Snoras’) is to be held on Tuesday 12 June 2012 at ‘Siemens’ arena, Ozo st. 14, Vilnius, Lithuania (the ‘Creditors’ Meeting’). The registration process for the Creditors’ Meeting will start at 9 am and the Creditors’ Meeting at 12 noon Vilnius time (EET) on this day.

The formal business of the meeting is to approve the agenda of the Creditors’ Meeting, appoint the secretary to the Creditors’ Meeting proposed by the Snoras Bankruptcy Administrator and elect a chairperson of the Creditors’ Meeting and the Snoras creditors’ committee. All creditors who submitted claims in the bankruptcy proceedings and whose claims have been approved by the Vilnius Regional Court prior to the Creditors’ Meeting are entitled to attend and vote at the Creditors’ Meeting. In addition, creditors have the option to vote ahead of the meeting. Creditors will however not prejudice their claims and entitlement to dividend, should there be one, if they do not attend or vote at the Creditors’ Meeting.

Pre-registration of the creditors’ intention to attend the Creditors’ Meeting will assist the admission of creditors to the Creditors’ Meeting and is therefore strongly recommended. For more information on registering for and voting at the Creditors’ Meeting, please refer to Snoras website at http://www.snoras.com

In light of my duty to ensure the effective exercise of the parties' procedural rights (3), I have reviewed the claims put forward by CEVA. I conclude that CEVA has been able to effectively exercise its rights of defence in connection with the issues covered by the letter of facts, for the reasons set out below: — First, as regards the claim that the company has not been able to comment on the evidence referred to in the letter of facts at the oral hearing, I note the Commission is entitled to send to the parties after the statement of objections fresh documents which it considers support its argument, subject to giving the undertakings the necessary time to submit their views on the subject (4). In the present case, CEVA was given the opportunity to comment on the issues covered by the letter of facts, and made use of this possibility. As regards the claim that the conclusions in the letter of facts were so unclear that CEVA was hampered in its ability to make its view known on those conclusions, I note that no specific elements are provided in support of this contention. Further, CEVA was able to submit a 31 pages' response, which addresses each ‘possible inference’ set out in the letter of facts, and discusses extensively the evidence on which the Commission said it intends to rely. Finally, none of the other addressees claimed that the conclusions set out in the letter of facts were unclear. I therefore consider that CEVA's claim is without merit. — Second, as regards the allegedly unfair behaviour of the Commission, I find that there was no indication in the request for information of the Commission of May 2011 that the requested information was to be used for the purpose of fines calculation, and not for any other purpose, such as investigating the issue of effect on trade in the NES infringement. CEVA was wrong to assume that the Commission was requesting the information exclusively for fining purposes, and cannot therefore claim that the Commission acted in an unfair manner on this basis. It is indeed legitimate for the Commission to institute fresh inquiries during the administrative procedure if it appears from the course of that procedure that additional investigations are necessary (5). — Third, as regards the alleged breach of the principle of equal treatment, it is settled case law that the Commission enjoys a freedom of action in the conduct of its investigations and is under no obligation to put the same questions, during an investigation, to all the undertakings which it suspects of participating in an infringement (6).

Final Report of the Hearing Officer (1)

COMP/39.966 — Gas Insulated Switchgear (re-adoption of fines)

2013/C 70/05

The draft decision amends the Commission's previous Decision of 24 January 2007 (2) in the Gas Insulated Switchgear case. The amendments concern only the two companies: Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (‘Melco’) and Toshiba Corporation (‘Toshiba’).

In the earlier Decision the Commission found that 20 legal entities (belonging to 10 undertakings, with some legal entities held liable as parent companies) had participated in a cartel agreement in the gas insulated switchgear industry. The Commission imposed fines, inter alia, on Melco and Toshiba.

In Case T-113/07 Toshiba Corp. v European Commission and Case T-133/07 Mitsubishi Electric Corp. v European Commission the General Court on 12 July 2011 upheld the finding that Toshiba and Melco had infringed Article 81 of the EC Treaty (now Article 101 of the TFEU) but annulled the imposition of fines on Toshiba and Melco, as the Commission had violated the principle of equal treatment, when choosing the reference year for the calculation of the fine.

On 15 February 2012, the Commission informed Melco and Toshiba by letters of facts that it intended to re-impose fines on the two undertakings for the infringement confirmed by the General Court. The letters of facts described the circumstances, parameters and method of calculation relevant for setting the fines and granted both undertakings the opportunity to submit comments until 16 March 2012. Upon Toshiba's request this deadline was extended until 23 March 2012.

On 15 March 2012, Toshiba submitted to the Hearing Officer that a letter of facts is not appropriate in this situation and that a new fine decision should be preceded by a statement of objections to which Toshiba should be entitled to reply.

I replied to Toshiba on 16 March 2012 stating that a statement of objections was not required in the present case, as the Commission was not raising any new objections against Toshiba other than those on which Toshiba was already heard in the procedure leading to the adoption of the Commission's initial decision. Moreover, Toshiba was provided with the opportunity of making known in writing its views on the Commission's intention to adopt a decision imposing a new fine.

I therefore conclude that the addressees of the draft decision were able to effectively exercise their procedural rights and that their right to be heard has been respected.

(1) Pursuant to Article 16 of Decision 2011/695/EU of the President of the European Commission of 13 October 2011 on the function and terms of reference of the hearing officer in certain competition proceedings (OJ L 275, 20.10.2011, p. 29).

(2) Commission Decision C(2006) 6762 final of 24 January 2007. A summary of the Decision has been published in OJ C 5 of 10.1.2008, p. 7.
3.

The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the termination of the infringement on 4 February 2011, 16 days after the opening of proceedings by the Commission, should be taken into account as a mitigating circumstance.
The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission’s definitions of the relevant product markets as stated in the draft decision.

In particular, concerning the product market definition, The Advisory Committee agrees that the impact of the notified transaction must be assessed on the following markets:

(a) the market for the wholesaling of physical music;

(b) the market for the wholesaling of digital music; and
56.

The EDPS furthermore recommends that: — the modalities of the functioning of national databases and the EU database with regard to data protection issues are clarified by introducing more detailed provisions in the proposed Regulations, in compliance with Directive 95/46/EC and Regulation (EC) No 45/2001. In particular, the provision establishing the database(s) must (i) identify the purpose of the processing operations and establish which are the compatible uses; (ii) identify which entities (competent authorities, Commission) will have access to which data stored in the database and will have the possibility to modify the data; (iii) ensure the right of access and appropriate information for all the data subjects whose personal data may be stored and exchanged (iv) define and limit the retention period for the personal data to the minimum necessary for the performance of such purpose, — at least core principles of the decentralised system for the interconnection of insolvency registers such as necessity and proportionality are established in the present Proposal (while further safeguards are expected to be provided in the forthcoming Commission's legislative proposal for the e-Justice portal), — it is specified whether any data will be stored in the e-Justice portal. If this is the case, specific safeguards should be added.

Final report of the Hearing Officer (1)

Deutsche Bahn I (AT.39678)

2014/C 86/03

(1) On 13 June 2012, the Commission initiated proceedings pursuant to Article 11(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 (2) against Deutsche Bahn AG and its subsidiaries DB Energie GmbH, DB Mobility Logistics AG, DB Fernverkehr AG and DB Schenker Rail Deutschland AG (together referred to as ‘DB Group’).

(2) A preliminary assessment was adopted by the Commission on 6 June 2013 pursuant to Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 and notified to DB Group on the same day. In the preliminary assessment, the Commission set out its competition concerns as regards a possible infringement by DB Group of Article 102 TFEU. These concerns related to a potential margin squeeze created by the DB Group's pricing system for traction current, including its discounts, on the markets for the provision of rail freight and long distance passenger transport services in Germany.

(3) On 23 July 2013, DB Group submitted commitments in order to meet the Commission's concerns. On 15 August 2013, the Commission published a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union in accordance with Article 27(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1/2003, summarising the case and the commitments and inviting third parties to submit comments on the proposal (3).

(4) After the Commission had informed the DB Group of the observations received from 13 interested third parties following the publication of the notice, DB Group submitted an amended commitment proposal.

(5) In its decision pursuant to Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1/2003, the Commission makes the commitments offered by DB Group binding upon it and concludes that, in light of the commitments offered, there are no longer grounds for action on its part, and thus the proceedings in this case should be brought to an end.

(6) I did not receive any request or complaint from any party to the proceedings in the present case (4). In view thereof, I consider that the effective exercise of the procedural rights of all parties in this case has been respected.
