(Case COMP/M.2789 — RWE Power/Lucchini/Elettra GLL JV)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2002/C 88/09)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 27 March 2002 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 the undertakings RWE Power AG (RWE Power), Germany, belonging to the group RWE, and
Lucchini SpA (Lucchini), Italy, acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation,
joint
control of the Italian undertaking Elettra GLL SpA (Elettra GLL) by way of purchase of shares. Prior to
the transaction, Elettra GLL was solely controlled by Lucchini.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— RWE Power: Generation of electricity,

— Lucchini: Various activities in the steel sector; generation of electricity through Elettra GLL,

— Elettra GLL: Generation of electricity.

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.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0991/02

by Dana Scallon (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(12 April 2002)

Subject: Waste management in Ireland

Under the Fifth Framework Programme, the EU has granted € 3 million for a Biomass plant (Control Heat
and Power) in North Monaghan, Ireland, to get it up and running.

What did the application consist of? Under what conditions was this money approved?

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(28 May 2002)

Proposal NNE5/1999/20229 concerning a 28 megawatt of electricity (MWe) optimised biomass fired
cogeneration plant in Monaghan was submitted in the framework of the ‘Energy, Environment and
Sustainable Development 4 Part B: Energy Program’, following the call published in the Official Journal
with call identifier 1999/C 77/14 (1).

The title of the application was: ‘Optimised Biomass Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant for Monaghan
integrating condensing economiser technology’.

The plant will demonstrate a bubbling fluidized bed boiler with an innovative integrated condensing
economiser fuelled with spent mushroom compost as the principal fuel. The heat to power ratio will be
1:1 and the electrical efficiency will be 26 % representing a significant increase on current state of the art
(23,6 %). The total project cost was estimated at € 43 081 000 and the proposers requested a Community
contribution of € 083 250 in their application. Other bio-fuels such as chicken litter and wood waste are
also planned to be used as feedstock.

Four external experts evaluated the proposal which was placed in the shortlist of proposals to be
considered for support. The result of
the evaluation was confirmed by the Programme Committee
composed of representatives of Member States and the Commission invited the consortium for contract
negotiations on 5 October 2000. The total Community support is up to a maximum of € 975 000. The
contract was signed on 27 April 2001.

Insofar the incineration of waste is concerned, the consortium would have to fulfil the requirements of
Directive 2000/76/EC of the Parliament and of the Council of 4 December 2000 on the incineration of
waste (2). The financial support of the Commission is to be forwarded to the contractors on the basis of
progress reports and incurred expenses.
