COMMISSION DECISION

of 12 August 2003

repealing Decision 2002/75/EC laying down special conditions on the import from third countries
of star anise

(notified under document number C(2003) 2889)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2003/602/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 93/43/EEC of 14 June 1993
on the hygiene of foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 10(1)
thereof,

Having regard to Commission Decision 2002/75/EC laying
down special conditions on the import from third countries of
star anise (2), and in particular recital 8 thereof,

(4)

(5)

(6)

The checks and analyses carried out under the condi-
tions prescribed in Decision 2002/75/EC have not
revealed any new cases of contamination, and no cases
of poisoning have been reported.

The special conditions attaching to the import of star
anise are therefore no longer justified and Commission
Decision 2002/75/EC can be repealed.

The Member States have been consulted on the repealing
of Decision 2002/75/EC, in accordance with Article 10
of Directive 93/43/EEC,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Analyses of consignments of star anise (illicium verum)
from certain third countries had revealed the presence of
the botanical variety known as Japanese star anise (illi-
scientifically recognised as
cium anisatum), which is
highly poisonous and therefore not
for human
fit
consumption.

The presence of Japanese star anise had been linked to
some cases of food poisoning in the Community.

As a consequence, and in accordance with Article 10 of
Directive 93/43/EEC, the Commission adopted Decision
2002/75/EC laying down special conditions on the
import from third countries of star anise,
in order to
ensure that star anise imported from third countries and
intended for human consumption does not contain Japa-
nese star anise.

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Decision 2002/75/EC is hereby repealed.

Article 1

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.3231 — Apollo/Soros/Goldman Sachs/Cablecom)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2003/C 190/03)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 1 August 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 Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Apollo Investment Fund V Inc., and Soros Private Equity
Investors LP,
jointly the Consortium, acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation,
joint control of Cablecom GmbH, Switzerland, by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— Goldman Sachs Group: a United States based global investment banking and securities firm active in

global capital markets,

— Apollo Investment Fund: a United States based globally active private equity investment group,

— Soros Private Equity Investors LP: a globally active investment advisory business,

— Cablecom GmbH: a broadband cable provider active primarily in Switzerland and to a limited extent in

Austria.

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 on simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under Council Regu-
lation (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.
