On 16 December 2011 the Commission adopted a preliminary assessment within the meaning of Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1/2003, concerning an alleged infringement of Article 101 TFEU by Areva and Siemens in a number of product markets within the field of civil nuclear technology. In its preliminary assessment, the Commission expressed the concern that the post-JV NCO and the post-JV confidentiality clause agreed between Areva and Siemens may constitute an infringement of the competition rules due to their excessive product scope and duration. The preliminary assessment concluded that the post-JV NCO, and the post-JV confidentiality clause in as far as the latter had the same effect as a non-compete clause, fell within Article 101(1) TFEU, and did not meet the conditions of Article 101(3) TFEU in so far as: — they prevented competition by Siemens on the markets of the JV's core products and core services, in particular nuclear islands, nuclear services and nuclear fuel assemblies, on a worldwide basis, for a period exceeding three years following Areva's acquisition of sole control over Areva NP in 2009; and — they prevented competition by Siemens following Areva's acquisition of sole control over Areva NP in 2009, on a worldwide basis, on markets where Areva NP was not active with own products and/or on markets where Areva accepted sales by Siemens during the lifetime of the JV. In particular, this covers the markets for conventional islands for nuclear power plants (NPPs), and the markets for certain nuclear islands components such as variable frequency drives, reactor coolant pump motors, diesel generators, conventional motors, transformers, medium voltage switchgears, low voltage switchgears, building management technology, plant management technology and water treatment solutions.

Acknowledgement of receipt of complaint No CHAP(2012) 710

2012/C 230/05

The European Commission has received and continues to receive a series of letters based on a standard form concerning the exchange of former Italian national currency against euro banknotes and coins. The European Commission has registered and will continue to register these letters under No CHAP(2012) 710.

Given the very large number of letters received on this subject, the Commission, with a view to informing all those concerned while making the most economical use of its administrative resources, is publishing the present notice in the Official Journal of the European Union in order to acknowledge receipt of the letters and inform the senders of the results of the examination of the letters by the Commission services. This notice is also published on the following Commission website:

http://ec.europa.eu/community_law/complaints/receipt/index_fr.htm

All letters received draw the European Commission’s attention to the fact that Article 26 of the Italian Decree-Law No 201/2011 published in the Italian Official Gazette No 284 on 6 December 2011, with immediate application, shortened the initial deadline of 28 February 2012 to exchange the former Italian currency against the euro.

Complainants ask the European Commission and the relevant authorities to intervene with the Italian Government in order for the deadline to be extended so that citizens can enjoy their right to exchange their savings in lire against euro banknotes and coins.

The Commission’s services would like to inform the complainants that it is the euro-area Member States' competence to set and modify the modalities of and the deadlines for the exchange of coins and banknotes of their former currencies against the euro. The European Union has no competence in this field. Some euro-area Member States have set short deadlines for the exchange whereas others have opted for exchange unlimited in time and/or differentiate between modalities applying to the exchange of former national banknotes and those applying to former national coins.

Complainants can, if they so wish, submit their comments on the proposed closure of the procedure or any other aspect of the case which they consider appropriate within a period of 30 days from the publication of this notice. Any comments received after this time will not be taken into account.
