Notice concerning a request pursuant to Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU

Request made by a Contracting Entity

(2016/C 127/08)

On 2 February 2016 the Commission received a request in accordance with Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on procurement procedures by entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors and repealing Directive 2004/17/EC (1). The first working day following receipt of the request is 3 February 2016.

This request, made by the President of the Office of Electronic Communications on behalf of Poczta Polska S.A. and concerns currier services and other services than postal in Poland. Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU provides that the later Directive is not applicable when the relevant activity is directly exposed to competition in markets to which access is not restricted. These conditions are evaluated solely for the purposes of Directive 2014/25/EU and are without prejudice to the application of competition rules.

Pursuant to letter (a) of first paragraph, of point 1 of Annex IV to Directive 2014/25/EU, the Commission is allowed a period of 105 working days to take a decision on this request, commencing on the working day referred to above. The period therefore expires on 7 July 2016.

With respect to the markets for wholesale access to TV and internet services, the Commission assessed whether the operation would change Telenet’s ability and incentive to foreclose other telecommunications operators by hampering access to its cable network, which can be an input for the retail provision of fixed telecommunications services, such as fixed telephony, fixed internet, and TV services. The Commission noted that the Belgian telecommunications regulators imposed on Telenet an obligation to grant access to its cable network for the provision of retail TV services, and, in combination with retail TV services, retail internet access services. Given this regulatory regime, the Commission concluded that Telenet does not have the ability to foreclose access to its cable network for the purpose of providing TV services or fixed internet services in combination with TV services and this situation would not change with the operation. With respect to stand-alone internet services, the Commission noted that Telenet does have the ability and the incentive to foreclose access to its cable network, as there is no regulatory obligation upon Telenet to grant wholesale access to its network for standalone fixed internet services. However, this situation already existed pre-operation and would not be affected by the operation. As such, the Commission concluded that the operation would not lead to a significant impediment to effective competition as a result of input foreclosure of wholesale access to Telenet’s cable network.

Base rates calculated in accordance with the Communication from the Commission on the revision of the method for setting the reference and discount rates (OJ C 14, 19.1.2008, p. 6). Depending on the use of the reference rate, the appropriate margins have still to be added as defined in this communication. For the discount rate this means that a margin of 100 basispoints has to be added. Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2008 of 30 January 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 foresees that, unless otherwise provided for in a specific decision, the recovery rate will also be calculated by adding 100 basispoints to the base rate.

According to the SO, Deutsche Boerse (Eurex) launched an exchange-traded credit futures product in March 2007 and CMDX, a joint venture between hedge fund Citadel and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, intended to launch an exchange-traded credit futures product at the end of 2008. According to the SO, both entities sought licences to reference ISDA’s Final Price in their exchange traded credit derivatives in order to price their credit futures following the occurrence of a credit event. According to the SO, ISDA denied a licence for the Final Price to Eurex (in 2007) and to CMDX (in 2008). The SO also took the preliminary view that ISDA’s Board of Directors in 2007 adopted a resolution excluding the licensing of the Final Price for exchange-trading purposes. According to the SO, this resolution was implemented in a Use Agreement on the website www.creditfixings.com. The text of the Use Agreement remained unchanged since then and is still in force today.

On the basis of the market test and its own analysis, the Commission found that: (a) The remedy is suitable and removes the competition concerns, as it removes the entire overlap between the Parties' activities in all of the markets in which competition concerns arise. The scope of the divestment ensures that the Divestment Business can become a viable supplier in international contracts in the EEA as well as on the national markets. (b) The Divestment Business will be viable and competitive by ensuring sufficient profitability to operate as a viable business in the hands of a suitable purchaser. (c) The Divestment Business will be competitive, even though it would only operate in the contract channel. The market investigation indicates that this is a viable business model and that a number of competitors on the market are only active in the contract channel. (d) The carve-out of the contract business from Office Depot is an adequate solution in this case as any risks attributable to the carve-out have been limited sufficiently in the commitments. (e) The Divestment Business will have sufficient access to office supply products from wholesales and manufacturers at prices allowing it to be competitive in the market. This is mainly because of the large scale of the Divestment Business. (f) There are no significant issues to be expected in relation to the transfer of contracts from Office Depot to the Divestment Business, because only very few contracts have a change of control clause and the majority of respondents to the market investigation confirmed their willingness to continue purchasing office products from the Divestment Business. (g) The Divestment Business is sufficiently interesting to attract suitable purchasers. (h) The terms of the transitional agreements were insufficient, mainly in terms of guaranteeing the Divestment Business' access to office products following the divestment.
