Council conclusions of 26 February 2009 supporting the Council of Europe's legislative work in the
area of criminal justice

(2009/C 50/07)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

MINDFUL of the important achievements that have been brought
about by the Council of Europe in creating a treaty framework
for legal co-operation in criminal matters between the Members
of the Council of Europe;

STRESSING that many of the Conventions of the Council of
Europe form part and parcel of the bedrock of co-operation in
criminal matters between the Member States of the European
Union;

TAKING INTO ACCOUNT that duplication of work should, as far
as possible, be avoided to the extent that the objectives pursued
can also be achieved through ratification and implementation of
Council of Europe Conventions in all EU Member States;

RECALLING the crucial role that the Council of Europe has
played in the approximation of criminal legislation in Europe
regarding fundamental issues;

STRESSING in particular the fact that the Council of Europe
Conventions have often laid the indispensable foundations for
further approximation of the legislation of the Member States of
the European Union;

REFERRING to the need for Member States to sign and/or ratify
in particular
the Criminal Law Convention No 173 on
Corruption, Convention No 196 on the Prevention of Terrorism
Convention No 197 on Action against Trafficking in Human

Beings;
the Council of Europe Convention No 198 on
Laundering, Search, Seizure and Confiscation of the Proceeds
from Crime and on the Financing of Terrorism and Convention
No 201 on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploita-
tion and Sexual Abuse;

ACKNOWLEDGING that in some cases it may be necessary to
provide for more specific and detailed rules between the
Member States of the European Union. Such deeper integration
does not detract from the important nature of the Conventions
of the Council of Europe;

STRESSING that the Council of Europe Conventions play an
essential role in the co-operation between EU Member States
and Third States;

1. reiterates its respect

for
Council of Europe in the area of criminal justice;

the legislative activities of

the

2. reaffirms its intention to continue the close co-operation
between the European Union and the Council of Europe in
this area;

3. calls upon Member States to sign, ratify and implement the
Conventions of the Council of Europe in the area of inter-
national co-operation in criminal matters and on approxima-
tion of criminal legislation when appropriate, in particular
when the provisions of these conventions are integrated in
the acquis of the EU.

Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.5449 — ABF/Azucarera)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2009/C 50/10)

1.
On 23 February 2009, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertaking Associated British
Foods Plc (‘ABF’, United Kingdom) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation
control of the whole of the undertaking Azucarera Ebro S.L. (‘Azucarera’, Spain) by way of purchase of
shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for ABF: a diversified food, ingredients and retail group. Products among others include sugar, molasses
and yeast. British Sugar conducts ABF's sugar operations by producing sugar from sugar beet for supply
to the retail and industrial sector, mainly in the UK,

— for Azucarera: a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ebro Puleva S.A. (Spain). It produces sugar and sugar deriva-
tives from sugar beet and supplies these products to the retail and industrial sectors in Spain and in
Portugal.

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

3.
scope of Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. However, the final decision on this point is reserved.

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
reference number COMP/M.5449 — ABF/Azucarera, to the following address:
