Re:

Pleas in law and main arguments

Annulment of the decision not to promote the applicant to
Grade B*8 in the 2005 promotion exercise, and application for
compensation

Operative part of the judgment

The Tribunal:

1. dismisses the action;

2. orders the Council of the European Union, in addition to its own

costs, to bear one third of the costs of Mr Hinderyckx

3. orders Mr Hinderyckx to bear two thirds of his costs.

(1) OJ C 178 of 29.7.2006, p. 34.

This application seeks compensation for damages, which,
according to the applicant, arise from the Commission's deci-
sion of 20 July 1999 to terminate his contract with the Huma-
nitarian Aid Department of the European Community (ECHO)
that he signed on 1 July 1999 after passing the medical exami-
nation provided for in the contract.

In support of his application the applicant claims principally
that:

— the contract was terminated on the basis of an examination
of his medical problems which was conducted without using
up to date information and therefore without taking account
of his current state of health;

— he did not receive any answer to the series of letters sent to
the responsible persons at ECHO in order to rectify the
earlier error.

— the Commission breached the terms of the contract stipu-
lating that it could enter into force only when the employ-
ee's state of health had been positively evaluated.

— the Commission infringed his rights of defence.

NOTICE TO IMPORTERS

Imports of high-content sugar products into the Community

(2007/C 265/07)

The European Commission informs Community operators that there is reasonable doubt as to the origin of
the high sugar content products of heading CN 1704 90 99; 1806 10 30; 1806 10 90; 1806 20 95;
1901 90 99; 2101 12 98; 2101 20 98; 2106 90 59; 2106 90 98; 3302 10 29 which are released for free
circulation into the Community in order to benefit from preferential tariff measures, contained in agree-
ments which the Community has concluded with or in arrangements it has adopted unilaterally in respect
of certain countries or groups of countries.

Community operators declaring and/or presenting documentary evidence of origin for the products
mentioned above are therefore advised to take all necessary precautions, since the release of the goods in
question for free circulation may give rise to a customs debt and lead to fraud against the Community's
financial interests.

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 265/13)

1.
On 25 October 2007, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1), by which ELQ Investors Ltd (‘ELQ’, United
(‘GS’, USA) acquires within the meaning of
Kingdom), controlled by The Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of H.P. Gesellschaft für Beteiligungsverwaltung
mbH and HP-Pelzer Beteiligungsholding GmbH & Co Systeme KG of Germany (together ‘H.P. Pelzer’) by way
of purchase of shares and conclusion of an agreement between the shareholders of H.P. Gesellschaft für
Beteiligungsverwaltung mbH.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for GS: investment banking, trading and principal investments, asset management and securities services,

— for H.P. Pelzer: the design, production, sale and distribution of interior and exterior sound absorbing

systems, interior linings and carpets for motor vehicles.

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

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
