WRITTEN QUESTION E-1394/03

by Caroline Lucas (Verts/ALE) to the Commission

(16 April 2003)

Subject: The European Commission’s Food and Veterinary Office in Ireland

Would the Commission please indicate which companies were responsible for the design and the
construction of the European Commission’s Food and Veterinary Offices in Ireland?

Please could the Commission also provide:

1. A list of all hardwood species which were used in the European Commission’s Food and Veterinary
Offices in Ireland together with details of (a) what quantity of each was used (b) which country they
were sourced from and (c) which companies supplied the timber?

2. Copies of all contractual references to the legality and sustainability of timber that was used in the

building of the European Commission’s Food and Veterinary Offices in Ireland?

3. Copies of evidence provided by the suppliers of all timber to the new European Commission’s Food

and Veterinary Offices in Ireland to ensure that all timber came from legal and sustainable sources?

Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission

(19 June 2003)

The European Commission’s Food and Veterinary Office in Grange, Ireland was procured through the
Office of Public Works (OPW) in Dublin. The building was designed by the Architectural Services Division
of OPW and the contract for construction, following tender procedures, was awarded to Michael Mc
Namara & Co.

Details of the hardwood species used in the development at Grange are as follows:

All the above timbers were scheduled in the contract bill of quantities and supplied through ‘Smee’ of
Liverpool.

In addition to the above, a technical variation that arose during the contract required the use of a small
amount of Iroko. This was acquired also through Smee from a sustainable source and amounted to
2,72 m3.

2.
The development at Grange was executed in accordance with the contract specifications issued by the
Architectural Services Division of OPW who have had a sustainable timber specification requirement since
1987. They also refer to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species for products that
should not be specified.

The company, Smee of Liverpool,

In 2002, the Food and Veterinary Office at Grange won the 2002 An Taisce sustainability award. An Taisce
is a non-governmental organisation and is a national institution specialising in heritage and conservation.

Opinion of the Advisory Committee on concentrations given at its 115th meeting on 16 April
2003 concerning a draft decision relating to Case COMP/M.2903 — DaimlerChrysler/Deutsche
Telekom/JV

(2003/C 277/03)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the notified operation constitutes a concen-
traion within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation and it has a Community
Dimension as defined by Article 1(2) of that Regulation.

2. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that a) the relevant product market affected by
the concentration is the market for telematics systems for transport and logistics undertakings and b)
the geographic scope of that market is limited to the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany.

3. A majority of the Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the notified joint venture
would lead to the creation or strengthening of a dominant position in the German market for the
telematics systems for transport and logistcs undertakings. A minority abstains.

4. A majority of the Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the set of undertakings
submitted by the Parties is sufficient to remedy the competition concerns in the relevant market
where the concentration would lead to the creation or strengthening of a dominant position. A
minority abstains.

5. A majority of the Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission's draft Decision that, subject to full
the concentration should be declared compatible with the

compliance with these commitments,
common market and the functioning of the EEA agreement. A minority abstains.

6. The Advisory Committee recommends the publication of its opinion in the Official

Journal of

the

European Union. The Advisory Committee took note of the Final Report of the Hearing Officer.

7. The Advisory Committee asks the Commission to take into account the remarks and comments made

by the Advisory Committee.
