The Court is asked to:

— declare that, by failing to take all the measures necessary to
establish and apply a coherent, specific and integrated legal
regime capable of ensuring viable management and effective
protection of areas designated as Special Protection Areas, in
the light of the conservation objectives of Council Directive
79/409/EEC (1) of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of wild
birds, the Hellenic Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations
under Article 4(1) and (2),
in conjunction with the first
sentence of Article 4(4) of that directive, as amended by
Article 6(2) to (4) of Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May
1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild
fauna and flora

of 21 May 2007 — Commission of

Communities v Czech Republic

(Case C-140/06) (1)

(2007/C 183/49)

Language of the case: Czech

On the basis of a large number of complaints, Parliamentary
questions and petitions, the Commission maintains that the
Hellenic Republic is not properly applying the provisions of
Directive 79/409/EEC which requires measures to be taken for
the conservation of wild bird habitats and for the avoidance of
their pollution and deterioration.

The President of the Sixth Chamber has ordered that the case be
removed from the register.

(1) OJ C 108, 6.5.2006.

In the Commission's view, the infringement of the directive
consists in the lack of protection for Special Protection Areas
(SPAs) and also the existence of activities which may damage
their integrity and have significant negative consequences for
the objectives of conservation of SPAs and of the species for
which the areas have been defined.

The argument of the Greek authorities that the existing legisla-
tive framework ensures to a satisfactory degree the protection of
all types of wild birds and their respective habitats is countered
by the Commission with the argument that that framework
does not constitute a specific and effective protection framework
for all SPAs.

Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.4798 — BP/Associated British Foods/JV)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 182/10)

1.
On 25 July 2007, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which BP plc (‘BP’, United Kingdom) and
Associated British Foods Plc (‘ABF’, United Kingdom) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the
Council Regulation joint control of the newly created Vivergo Fuels Limited (‘Vivergo’, United Kingdom) by
way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for BP: energy company, active on a world wide level in the exploration, development and production of
oil and gas, in the refining, manufacturing and marketing of oil products and petrochemicals and in the
development of renewable energies,

— for ABF: diversified food, ingredients and retail company, active on a world wide level.

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
