Commission communication concerning the prolongation of the Communication of the Commis-
sion to the Member States pursuant to Article 93(1) of the EC Treaty applying Articles 92 and 93
of the Treaty to short-term export-credit insurance

(2004/C 307/04)

(Text with EEA relevance)

The original communication of the Commission to the Member States pursuant to Article 93(1) of the EC
Treaty applying Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty to short-term export-credit insurance was adopted in
1997 (1) and was to apply for a period of five years from 1 January 1998.

In 2001, the Commission adopted an amendment (2) to the 1997 communication concerning the definition
of ‘marketable’ risks to reflect the different situation of the private reinsurance market. The Commission
also decided to extend the duration of the 1997 communication until 31 December 2004. Furthermore,
Point 2.6. of the 1997 communication was amended as follows: ‘The capacity of the private reinsurance
market varies. This means that the definition of marketable risks is not immutable and may change over
time. The definition may, therefore, be reviewed, notably at the expiry of this communication on 31
December 2004. The Commission will consult Member States and other interested parties on such
reviews’.

In order to allow time to assess the capacity of the private reinsurance market and to complete this review,
the Commission has decided to continue to apply the current communication as amended in 2001 until
such time as new rules on State aid in the field of short-term export-credit insurance are published or, at
the latest, until 31 December 2005.

Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.3631 — Apax/ACP/Eve/JV)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2004/C 307/06)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 3 December 2004 the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Allianz Capital Partners GmbH (‘ACP’,
Germany), part of the Allianz Group, and Apax Europe V (‘Apax’, UK), acquire within the meaning of
Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control of the whole of Eve Holding NV (‘Eve’, Belgium) by
way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— ACP: private equity,

— Apax: investment funds,

— Eve: industrial gearboxes.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the
3.
scope of Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant to
the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under Council
Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the
procedure set out in the Notice.

The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed

4.
operation to the Commission.

Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication.
Observations can be sent to the Commission by fax (No (32-2) 296 43 01 or 296 72 44) or by post,
