(Case COMP/M.2382 (cid:151) Usinor/Arbed/Aceralia)

(2001/C 182/02)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 18 June 2001 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),
by which the undertakings Aceralia Corporaci(cid:243)n Siderœrgica SA (Aceralia), Arbed SA (Arbed) and Usinor
SA (Usinor) enter into a full merger within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a) of the Regulation, by way of a
public offer to exchange the shares of Aceralia, Arbed and Usinor with those of a newly created company,
provisionally named Newco Steel (Newco).

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

(cid:151) Aceralia: manfacturing and distribution of flat steel, long steel and processed steel products, production

of small carbon welded tubes and of products for the construction industry,

(cid:151) Arbed: production and distribution of steel products (including heavy and light long products, flat
products and stainless steel products), trade of scrap and distribution of some raw materials for the
steel industry. Arbed is also active in the engineering sector,

(cid:151) Usinor: manufacturing, processing and distribution of steel products (especially flat carbon steel

products, stainless steel and other alloy steel products).

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within

Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(18 September 2001)

The Commission has paid all instalments to Greece for all operational programmes (OPs) of the 1994-
1999 Community Support Framework, with the exception of the final instalments for 1999, for which the
Greek authorities have not yet presented their payment requests.

These final payment requests must be presented to the Commission after the OPs closure by the Member
States and must be submitted with the final execution reports for each OP. In the vast majority of cases,
they are submitted after the deadline for payments to the final beneficiaries, which in this case is the end
of 2001.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1896/01

by Charles Tannock (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(28 June 2001)

Subject: Preservation of North Sea cod and haddock stocks

With reference to Commissioner Fischler(cid:146)s answer to Written Question E-1138/01 (1), are the observers
who are required to sample the percentage of each species caught by vessels fishing for sandeels employees
of the Member States or the Commission, and are their findings sent to the Commission and made
available as a matter of public record?

Could the Commission also indicate whether any independent bodies, including university marine biology
departments, have issued findings which support the Commission(cid:146)s view that there is little if any evidence
that industrial sandeel fishing in the North Sea deprives species such as cod, haddock, whiting etc. of their
food?

(1) OJ C 318 E, 13.11.2001, p. 212.

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(3 September 2001)

The observers referred to are employees of Member States.

Their findings will be sent to the Commission. At present, the Commission has no intention of publishing
these findings. However, they will be made available to officials of Member States and will be discussed
with Member States when formulating further details of the North Sea cod recovery plan.

To date, the Commission is unaware of any findings issued by university marine biology departments or
any other scientific body on the effects on food supply to cod, whiting, haddock etc. of industrial fishing
for sandeels or any other species. However, the Commission has part-funded a research project in which
relationships between the abundance of sandeels and factors such as growth rate of cod were investigated
in a geographical area off the east coast of Scotland. The results of this study have still to be worked up
and published. This study has been continued on the initiative of British authorities. Results of the
continued study are not yet available.
