(2008/C 51/64)

Language of the case: Portuguese

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

The Act of Accession does not provide for any transitional
measures relating to the application of the directive in respect of
Malta. In accordance with article 2 of the Act of Accession the
provisions of the directive are binding upon Malta from the date
of accession.

(1) OJ C 326, 30.12.2006.

It is the Commission's view that the Merchant Shipping (Port
State Control) Regulations, 2004 (the ‘Regulations’), adopted by
Malta to implement the directive, are incompatible with the
directive, read in conjunction with the Act of Accession, in so
far as they provide that inspectors who do not fulfil the criteria
in paragraphs 1-4 of Annex VII of the directive are accepted if
they have been employed by the competent authority for port
State control between 19 June 1995 and the date of entry into
force of the Regulations — in other words, 1 May 2004.

(Case COMP/M.4923 — Avnet/Acal IT Solutions)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 277/10)

1.
On 6 November 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 Avnet Inc. (‘Avnet’, USA) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the
Council Regulation control of the whole of Acal IT Solutions (‘AITS’), a division of Acal IT Limited (United
Kingdom), by way of purchase of shares and assets.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for undertaking Avnet: distributor of electronic components, computer products and technology

services,

— for undertaking AITS: wholesale distribution of IT products and services.

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.
