Commission notice on the determination of the applicable rules for the assessment of unlawful
State aid

(notified under document number C(2002) 458)

(2002/C 119/12)

(Text with EEA relevance)

A number of instruments approved by the Commission over the years contain a provision to the effect
that unlawful State aid, i.e. aid put into effect in contravention of Article 88(3) of the EC Treaty, shall be
assessed in accordance with the texts in force at the time when the aid was granted. This is for example
the case for the Community guidelines on State aid for environmental protection (1) and the multisectoral
framework on regional aid for large investment projects (2).

For the purpose of transparency and legal certainty, the Commission informs Member States and third
parties that it has decided to apply the same rule in respect of all
instruments indicating how the
Commission will exercise its discretion in order to assess the compatibility of State aid with the
common market (frameworks, guidelines, communications, notices). Therefore,
the Commission shall
always assess the compatibility of unlawful State aid with the common market in accordance with the
substantive criteria set out in any instrument in force at the time when the aid was granted.

The present notice is without prejudice to the more specific rules contained in the Community guidelines
on State aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty (3).

The present notice is without prejudice to the interpretation of Council and Commission regulations in the
field of State aid.

Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.2809 — Cinven/Carlyle/VUP)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2002/C 119/10)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 8 May 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 Cinven, belonging to Cinven Group Limited, UK (Cinven), and Carlyle, a limited
partnership registered in the Cayman Island (Carlyle), acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the
Regulation, joint control of some assets sold by Vivendi Universal Publishing, FRA (VUP assets) by way of
purchase of shares in newly created vehicle companies.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— Cinven: Venture capital business,

— Carlyle: Private equity investments,

— VUP assets: Activities concerning medical publishing, trade publishing and organisation of trade shows.

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.

The Commission invites interested third parties to submit
