Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.4763 — Cerberus/Torex)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 152/07)

(‘Promontoria’, The Netherlands) and Toro US Newco Corp.

1.
On 28 June 2007, 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 Promontoria Holding XIX
(‘Toro’, United States) controlled by
B.V.
Cerberus Group (‘Cerberus’, United Sates) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regu-
lation control of parts of Torex Retail PLC (‘Torex’, United Kingdom) by way of purchase of shares and
assets.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Cerberus: private equity fund;

— for Promontoria: investment company controlled by Cerberus;

— for Toro: investment company controlled by Cerberus;

— for Torex: provider of retail-store related software and services, primarily in the UK.

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

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 ((32-2) 296 43 01 or 296 72 44) or by post, under

Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of
inter alia, in Thailand: modification of the name of a
certain tube or pipe fittings originating,

company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate

(2007/C 152/06)

Imports of certain tube or pipe-fittings, of iron or steel, originating, inter alia, in Thailand are subject to defi-
imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 964/2003 (1), as last amended by
nitive anti-dumping duties,
Council Regulation (EC) No 1496/2004 (2).

Awaji Sangyo (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a company located in Thailand, whose exports to the Community of
certain tube or pipe-fittings of iron or steel, are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 7,4 % by
the aforementioned Regulation, has informed the Commission that on 1 August 2006 it changed its name
to Awaji Materia (Thailand) Co., Ltd. The company has argued that the change of name does not affect the
right of the company to benefit from the individual duty rate applied to the company under its previous
name of Awaji Sangyo (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way
affects the findings of Council Regulation (EC) No 964/2003 as last amended by Council Regulation (EC)
No 1496/2004. Therefore, the reference to Awaji Sangyo (Thailand) Co., Ltd, Samutprakarn should be read
as Awaji Materia (Thailand) Co., Ltd, Samutprakarn in Article 1(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 964/2003.

The Taric additional code 8850 previously attributed to Awaji Sangyo (Thailand) Co., Ltd, shall apply to
Awaji Materia (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

FRANCE:

Replacement of the information published in Official Journal of the European Union C 247 of 13 Ocotber 2006.

The reference amount for adequate means of subsistence for the planned duration of an alien's stay or for his
transit via France to a destination in a third State is equal to the amount of the guaranteed minimum wage in
France (SMIC) calculated daily on the basis of the rate fixed on 1 January of the current year.

This amount is regularly reassessed on the basis of the French cost of living index:

— automatically whenever the retail price index rises more than 2 %,

— by a government decision — after consultation with the national commission for collective bargaining —

to grant a rise higher than the rise in the retail price index.

As of 1 July 2005, the daily amount of the SMIC (minimum wage) is EUR 56,20.

Persons holding proof of accommodation (attestation d'accueil) must possess a minimum amount of money,
equivalent to half the SMIC, in order to stay in France. This amount is therefore EUR 28,10 per day.
