Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.3031 — Burda/HDP/Catherine Nemo)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2003/C 23/06)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 21 January 2003 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 Burda Holding International GmbH (Burda, Germany) belonging to the Hubert
Burda Media Group (Burda, Group Germany) and Holding di Partecipazioni Industriali SpA (HDP, Italy)
acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation, joint control of the undertaking Catherine
Nemo Holding (Catherine Nemo, France) by way of acquisition of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— Burda: advertising and printing, publication and distribution of consumer magazines, mainly in

Germany,

— HDP: advertising, publication and distribution of books, magazines and newspapers, mainly in Italy,

— Catherine Nemo: publication of the French magazines ‘Nouveau detective’ and ‘Horoscope’.

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 simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under Council
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.

on the issue of system B export licences in the fruit and vegetables sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001
of 8 October 2001 on detailed rules for implementing Council
Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit
and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1176/2002 (2), and in particular Article 6(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2201/2002 (3) fixes the
indicative quantities for system B export licences other
than those sought in the context of food aid.

In the light of the information available to the Commis-
sion today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities
laid down for the current export period for apples will
shortly be exceeded. This overrun will prejudice the
proper working of the export refund scheme in the fruit
and vegetables sector.

(3)

To avoid this situation, applications for system B licences
for apples after 30 January 2003 should be rejected until
the end of the current export period,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Applications for system B export licences for apples submitted
pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/2002, export
declarations for which are accepted after 30 January 2003 and
before 16 March 2003, are hereby rejected.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 January 2003.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
