Declaration by the Netherlands in accordance with Article 5 and Article 97 of Council Regulation
(EEC) No 1408/71 of 14 June 1971 on the application of social security schemes to employed
persons, to self-employed persons and to members of their families moving within the Community

(2007/C 47/08)

The Netherlands Government wishes to inform you of the following:

In accordance with Article 5 and Article 97 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 on the application of
social security schemes to employed persons, to self-employed persons and to members of their families
moving within the Community, Member States are required to specify the social security legislation to which
the Regulation applies in a declaration to be notified to you.

The Netherlands Government wishes to amend or add to the declaration in two respects. These amendments
or additions relate to the entry into force of two new laws.

On 1 January 2006 the Health Insurance Act was replaced by the Health Care Insurance Act. The Health
Care Insurance Act is the new system of sickness insurance for medical care for the whole population. The
existing General Act on Exceptional Medical Expenses, also a system of social insurance for the whole popu-
lation, which relates to long-term care or nursing, remains in force together with the Health Care Insurance
Act.

On 1 January 2006 the Health Care Supplement Act came into force.

Under this law, people for whom the nominal premium is too high in relation to their income receive a
supplementary allowance from the tax authorities. When assessing whether a person is eligible for a supple-
mentary allowance, the income of a partner, if any, is taken into account. The health care supplement is
exportable.

The above gives rise to the following additions or amendments:

Legislation and schemes referred to in Article 4(1) and (2) of the Regulation

Sickness and maternity benefits:

— replace ‘the Law of 15 October 1964 (Netherlands Official Gazette 1964, 392) on the rules applying to
health insurance (Health Insurance Act)’ by ‘the Law of 16 June 2005 (Netherlands Official Gazette
2005, 358) governing social insurance for medical care for the whole population (Health Care Insurance
Act)’;

— add ‘the Law of 16 June 2005 (Netherlands Official Gazette 2005, 369) governing eligibility for a finan-
cial contribution to the cost of medical care insurance, on account of low income (Health Care Supple-
ment Act)’.

Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.4542 — NPM Capital/Desseaux)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 47/15)

1.
On 21 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 NPM Capital N.V. (‘NPM’, Netherlands.)
acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation sole control of Tapijtfabriek H
Desseaux N.V (‘Desseaux’, Netherlands) by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for NPM: provision of private equity in Netherlands,

— for Desseaux: production, distribution and servicing of woven and non-woven and tufted textile floor

coverings.

3.
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within
the scope of Regulation (EEC) 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 (fax No (32-2) 296 43 01 or 296 72 44) or by post,
