war and the SARS outbreak.

tions of air carriers and have triggered a significant
reduction in demand in the beginning of the summer
2003 scheduling season.

‘Article 10b

For the purpose of Article 10(3), coordinators shall accept
that air carriers are entitled to the same series of slots
during the summer 2004 scheduling season as were allo-

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 31 March 2003 the Commission received notification pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation
(EEC) No 4064/89 (the ‘Merger Regulation’) of an acquisition through which DSM NV (‘DSM’), a Dutch
undertaking, has agreed to acquire control of Roche Vitamins and Fine Chemicals Division (‘RV & FC’).
Undertakings were submitted by DSM on 25 April, as amended on 13 May, but were deemed insufficient
to prevent formal proceedings from being initiated under Article 6(1)(c) of the Merger Regulation on 19
May 2003.

Further undertakings were submitted by DSM on 27 June which were market tested by the Commission.
Following discussions with the relevant Commission service, a final set of undertakings was submitted on 9
July 2003.

On the basis of these undertakings the relevant Commission service considered that the competition
concerns were fully resolved. Accordingly no statement of objections was sent to the parties.

The case does not call for any particular comments with regard to the right to be heard.
