Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

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

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 lemons 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 lemons after 1 February 2003 should be rejected
until the end of the current export period,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

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

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2003/C 24/09)

(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 Bain Capital Fund VII-E (United Kingdom), LP, Bain Capital Fund VII, LP and
Bain Capital Coinvestment Fund, LP (together referred to as Bain Fund), all belonging to the United States
of America-based Bain Capital Investors group, acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of that
Regulation, control of parts of the SigmaKalon Group (SigmaKalon, France) by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— Bain Fund: investment fund,

— SigmaKalon: manufacture and supply of decorative and industrial coatings.

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.
