State aid C 40/2003 (ex N 50/B/2002) — R&D aid for Ibermática

(2006/C 71/03)

(Text with EEA relevance)

By the following letter, dated 24 March 2004, the Commission informed Spain of its decision to terminate
the procedure provided for in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty.

‘By letter dated 16 January 2002, registered as received by the Commission on 17 January 2002, the
Spanish authorities notified planned aid for Ibermática. The file was divided into two parts. The first,
registered under number N 50/A/02, concerned the part of the aid that relates to productive invest-
ment. It was authorised by the Commission on 27 November 2002 (1). The second, registered under
number N 50/B/02, concerns the part of the aid that relates to investment in research and development
(R&D). It is that part to which this decision relates.

The Commission asked the Spanish authorities for additional
information on the measures on a
number of occasions. The Spanish authorities provided answers to the questions, most recently by
letter dated 23 April 2003, registered as received by the Commission on the same date.

By letter sent to the Spanish authorities on 12 June 2003, the Commission initiated the procedure
provided for in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in order to examine the measure more closely. The deci-
sion was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 9 August 2003 (2).

By letter dated 14 January 2004, registered as received by the Commission on 16 January 2004, the
Spanish authorities withdrew their notification of the measure. They stated that the R&D project
would not be undertaken and that the aid would not therefore be granted.

The Commission notes that, pursuant
to Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/99 of
22 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty (3), the
Member State concerned may withdraw its notification in due time before the Commission has taken a
decision on the aid. In cases where the Commission has already initiated the formal investigation
procedure, it must close it.

Consequently, the Commission has decided to close the formal investigation procedure provided for in
Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty on the aid in question, having noted that Spain had withdrawn its notifi-
cation.’.

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 14 March 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 undertakings ZMB Gasspeicher
Holding GmbH (‘ZGHG’)
(Austria) ultimately owned by OAO Gazprom (Russia) and Wingas GmbH
(‘Wingas’) (Germany) ultimately owned by BASF (Germany) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b)
of the Council Regulation joint control of the undertaking Wingas UK Storage Limited (‘Wingas Storage’)
(United Kingdom) by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Wingas: Europe-wide natural gas trading and marketing;

— for ZGHG: sole purpose vehicle established to hold a stake in the JV;

— for Wingas Storage: the construction and the operation of the storage facility in Saltfleetby.

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
