The invention of the patent consists of a method of designing
and printing an original document that combats counterfeiting
by digital scanning devices. The method involves determining
the scanning pitch of a copying device to be protected against
and creating an appropriate grid that would give rise to inter-
ference patterns, such as moiré patterns, when copied on that
scanning device. The grid is overlayed on an original image to
produce a printed genuine document in which the grid is
usually not discernible to the naked eye.

According to the applicant, the invention of the patent was
used in the designing and the printing of the Euro banknotes,
under the authorization of the European Central Bank. The
applicant claims furthermore that the issue, keeping and circu-
lation of the Euro banknotes constitutes an infringement of his
patent

Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.3884 — ADM Poland/Cefetra/BTZ)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2005/C 228/07)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 9 September 2005, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertakings Wielkopolskie Zakłady
Tłuszczowe ADM Szamotuły Sp. z.o.o. (‘ADM Poland’, Poland) belonging to the group ADM and Cefetra
B.V. (‘Cefetra’, The Netherlands) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation
joint control of the undertaking Bałtycki Terminal Zbożowy sp. z.o.o. (‘BTZ’, Poland), currently under
control of the Gdynia Port Authority by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for ADM Poland: active in the production of oils, in particular rapeseed oil;

— for Cefetra: active in trading of compound feed raw materials;

— for BTZ: services provider terminal, including the loading, unloading and warehousing of agricultural

commodities, in the port of Gdynia in Poland.

3.
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the
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

operation to the Commission.
