On 26 October 2007, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
to Article 4 and following a referral pursuant to Article 4(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by
which the undertaking CommScope Inc. (‘CommScope’, USA) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b)
of the Council Regulation control of the whole of the undertaking Andrew Corporation (‘Andrew’, USA) by
way of purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for undertaking CommScope: manufacture of cable and supply of connectivity solutions for communica-

tion networks,

— for undertaking Andrew: supply of base station antennas, cables and other equipment for wireless tele-

communication devices.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the

COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL 

on the rate of contribution to the pension scheme of officials and other servants of the 
European Communities 

Pursuant to Article 83a of the Staff  Regulations,  each year  the Commission shall present to 
the  Council  an  updated  version  of  the  actuarial  assessment  of  the  pension  scheme,  in 
accordance with Article 1(2) of Annex XII. Where it is shown that there is a gap of at least 
0.25 points between the rate of contribution currently applied and the rate required to maintain 
actuarial balance, the Council shall consider whether the rate should be adapted. 

Eurostat has carried out a study of the scheme in accordance with Article 13 of Annex XII to 
the Staff Regulations which sets the rate of contribution required to maintain actuarial balance 
at 10.3%. Rate of contribution in force is 10.25. Therefore, the gap is of 0.05 and is below the 
threshold indicated in the Article 83a.  

Accordingly, the Commission will not present, for this year, a proposal adjusting the rate of 
contribution  to  the  pension  scheme  of  officials  and  other  servants  of  the  European 
Communities.
