Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.2480 (cid:151) Thomson/Carlton/JV)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2001/C 190/05)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 25 June 2001 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
1.
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),
by which Carlton Communications plc (Carlton, UK) and Thomson Multimedia SA (Thomson, France)
created a full-function joint venture Technicolor Cenime Advertising LLC (TCA), by way of purchase of
shares in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

(cid:151) Carlton: broadcasting, pay TV and media services,

(cid:151) Thomson: media services, consumer products and components,

(cid:151) TCA: intermediary between advertising agencies and cinemas.

3.
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within
the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant
to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under
Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (3), it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under
the procedure set out in the notice.

Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission

(9 October 2001)

The Commission has published a scientific report on osteoporosis in the European Community (1) in 1998.
This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the underlying pathology of osteoporosis, it also covers
clinical aspects of managing osteoporosis and has an emphasis on the prevention of osteoporosis in its
conclusions.

As there have been no changes in the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis since the report, the
Commission believes that the focus should be on encouraging next steps in meeting the recommendations
of the report itself and using the report as an indicator to Member States in developing their best practices.

The new Community Public Health Programme (2), which is presently being examined by the European
Parliament and the Council follows a three strand approach: Improving health information, Responding
rapidly to health threats and Addressing health determinants, and is a move away from disease specific
activity as in the past. The new programme aims to achieve a better focused approach and synergy
between actions, with a view to setting up comprehensive coping and prevention strategies based on best
practice.

Further activity following on from the scientific conclusions of the 1998 report could be accommodated
under the existing Health Promotion Programme, but health promotion activities will fall under the new
Public Health Programme in the future.

Subject: Distortion of the market in the sale of airline tickets for flights in the EU

Is the Commission aware that certain airlines sell reduced price tickets for flights within the European
Union only in the Member State of origin or destination of the flights and not in the other thirteen states
of the Union? Can the Commission explain how it can allow this distortion of the market?

Subject: Distortion of the market in the sale of airline tickets for flights outside the EU

Is the Commission aware that certain airlines will only sell special offers for flights from the European
Union within certain Member States and not across the whole of the EU? Does the Commission not
believe this is a distortion of the internal market?

and Carlos Westendorp y Cabeza (PSE) to the Commission

Subject: Expiry of the ECSC Treaty and coal aid

(6 July 2001)

At the recent EU Intergovernmental Conference the Member States rejected the idea of giving the EU
powers in energy-related matters. Since the ECSC Treaty expires on 23 July 2002, it could be argued that
there is no longer any clear legal basis for EU intervention in an energy sector whose production is not
traded between the Member States.

What legal basis is the Commission intending to adopt for the purpose of regulating State aid to energy
sources, including coal?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1998/01

by Mar(cid:237)a Rodr(cid:237)guez Ramos (PSE)
and Carlos Westendorp y Cabeza (PSE) to the Commission

Subject: Expiry of the ECSC Treaty and coal aid

(6 July 2001)

the Commission
In its Green Paper on a European strategy for safeguarding the energy supply,
acknowledges that the State aid allocated to the various energy sources is not transparent. Such a
statement surely does not apply to Community coal aid, which is transparent on account of
the
requirement for authorisation which is laid down in the ECSC Treaty.

The same Green Paper also states that there is currently no accurate Community list of all the forms of aid
which the Member States assign to the various energy products and it proposes starting to draw up a list
of the State aid made available to energy sources.

In the light of this conclusion and the expiry of the ECSC Treaty on 23 July 2002, does the Commission
consider that it is able to ensure fair treatment for all energy sources, including coal?

Subject: Expiry of the ECSC Treaty and coal aid

(6 July 2001)

23 July 2002 is the date upon which the ECSC Treaty and Decision 3632/93/ECSC (1) (governing the
authorisation of coal aid) will expire. In view of the urgent need for a new aid scheme to be adopted, the
Commission must already have drawn up a timetable for negotiations on this matter and have set
priorities. What is the Commission(cid:146)s timetable for dealing with this matter?
