Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.2860 — Lehman Brothers/Haslemere)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2002/C 154/06)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 17 June 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 undertaking Lehman Brothers Real Estate Partners LP, controlled by Lehman Brothers,
acquires, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation,
joint control of the undertaking
Haslemere NV, by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— Lehman Brothers Real Estate Partners LP: Real estate investments,

— Lehman Brothers: Global investment banking services,

— Haslemere NV: Real estate investments.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within
3.
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-1849/02

by Paulo Casaca (PSE) to the Commission

(28 June 2002)

Subject: Illegal red seabream catch proposals

In its proposal for a regulation (1), the Commission proposes that two Member States should be granted
rights to catch red seabream within ICES Sub-Area X.

However, Regulation 2027/95 (2), as amended by Regulation 149/99 (3), states that the fishing effort of
those Member States in ICES Sub-Area X shall be zero for deep-sea species (within which category the red
seabream should be classified) and demersal species.

The above regulation has not been repealed and is, furthermore, cited in the recitals of the Commission
proposal.

It therefore appears necessary to ask the Commission to explain its proposal.

Is the Commission aware of the serious implications which its policy concerning deregulated fishing
incentives could have for
the Azores
Autonomous Region?

(2) OJ L 199, 24.8.1995, p. 1.
(3) OJ L 18, 23.1.1999, p. 3.

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(1 August 2002)

It is not correct that the two Member States referred to have a zero fishing effort allocation in ICES
Division X under the terms of the Western Waters effort Regulation scheme (Council Regulation (EC) No
2027/95 of 15 June 1995 establishing a system for the management of fishing effort relating to certain
Community fishing areas and resources, as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 149/1999 of
19 January 1999). These Member States have a zero fishing effort allocation only in the part of ICES
Division X that is under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of Portugal, and may legitimately deploy fishing
effort in other parts of ICES Division X. Therefore, the Commission’s proposal is consistent with existing
legislation.

The two Member States in question have been allocated very small quotas of 10 tonnes each, to cover by-
catches and to avoid discarding in exploratory fishing. These quantities are too small to have any
significant effect on the sustainability of the stock.
