New national side of euro circulation coins

(2006/C 33/05)

National side of the new 2-euro commemorative circulation coin issued by the Italian Republic

Euro circulation coins have legal tender status throughout the euro area. The Commission publishes all
new euro coin designs (1) with a view to informing anyone required to handle coins in the course of their
work and the public at large. In accordance with the Council conclusions of 8 December 2003 (2), Member
States and countries that have concluded a Monetary Agreement with the Community providing for the
issuance of euro circulation coins are allowed to issue certain quantities of commemorative euro circulation
coins on condition that not more than one new coin design is issued per country per year and that only
the EUR 2 denomination is used. These coins have the technical features of normal euro circulation coins,
but bear a commemorative design on the obverse national side.

Member State: Italian Republic

Subject of commemoration: XX Olympic Winter Games — Turin 2006.

Factual description of the design: the foreground shows a skier racing, against a background of stylised
graphic elements: the monogram of the Italian Republic ‘RI’ at the top left, below it the letter ‘R’ and an
image of Turin's landmark Mole Antonelliana building with the inscription ‘TORINO’ below; the words
‘GIOCHI INVERNALI’ at the top right; to the right of the skier, the year of issue, 2006, written vertically,
and the initials of the designer, Maria Carmela Colaneri, MCC. The twelve stars of the European Union
encircle the design.

On 1 February 2006, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertaking Lehman Brothers
Merchant Banking Partners III L.P. (‘Lehman Brothers’, USA) belonging to the Lehman Brothers Group
acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the European seafood
business of HJ Heinz Company (‘Heinz’, USA) by way of purchase of shares and assets.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Lehman Brothers: investment fund;

— for Heinz: fishing, processing and distributing of seafood products.

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
