Commission notice on current State aid recovery interest rates and reference/discount rates for 27 Member States applicable as from 1 February 2009

(Published in accordance with Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 (OJ L 140, 30.4.2004, p. 1))

(2009/C 17/03)

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 basis points has to be added. The Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2008 of 30 January 2008 amending the implementing 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 basis points to the base rate.

Final Report (1) of the Hearing Officer in Case COMP/M.4403 — Thales/Finmeccanica/AAS & Telespazio

(2009/C 34/04)

On 6 October 2006, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration by which the undertakings Thales S.A. (Thales) and Finmeccanica Società per Azioni (Finmeccanica) acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (the ‘Merger Regulation’), joint control of the undertakings Alcatel Alenia Space SAS (AAS) and Telespazio Holding srl (Telespazio) by way of purchase of shares in two existing joint ventures to which additional assets are contributed.

After a preliminary examination of the notification, the Commission concluded that the notified transaction falls within the scope of the Merger Regulation and raised serious doubts as to its compatibility with the common market. It therefore decided, on 28 November 2006, to initiate proceedings under Article 6(1)(c) of the Merger Regulation.

The parties had then access to the key documents of the file, in application of the Best Practices for merger case, through a non-confidential summary of the responses of third parties to the requests for information in first phase, which was provided to them on 7, 8 and 11 December 2006.

Following an in-depth market investigation, the Commission services considered that the serious doubts had been removed and that the proposed transaction would not significantly impede effective competition in the common market or a substantial part of it and that it hence should be declared compatible with the common market and the functioning of the EEA agreement. Accordingly, no Statement of Objections was sent to the parties.

No queries or submission have been made to me by the parties or any other third party. The case does not call for any particular comments as regards the right to be heard.

Commission notice on the quantity of certain products in the milk and milk products sector available for the second half of 2009 under certain quotas opened by the Community

(2009/C 74/01)

When import licences were allocated for the first half of 2009 for certain quotas mentioned in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 (1), the licence applications covered quantities less than those available for the products concerned. Therefore, the quantity available for each quota for the period 1 July to 31 December 2009 should be calculated taking account of the unallocated quantities resulting from Commission Regulation (EC) No 1224/2008 (2) (of 9 December 2008 determining the extent to which the applications for import licences submitted in November 2008 for certain dairy products under certain tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 can be accepted) and of applications for import licences lodged in the first ten days of November 2008 for butter originating in New Zealand under quotas 09.4195 and 09.4182.

The quantities available for the period 1 July to 31 December 2009 for the second half of the year of importation for certain quotas referred to in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 are indicated hereunder.
