Final report of the Hearing Officer in Case COMP/M.4525 — Kronospan/Constantia

(Pursuant to Articles 15 and 16 of Commission Decision (2001/462/EC, ECSC) of 23 May 2001 on the terms of reference of Hearing Officers in certain competition proceedings — OJ L 162, 19.6.2001, p. 21)

2009/C 134/03
On 4 May 2007, Kronospan Holding GmbH (‘Kronospan’, Germany) sent a notification to the Commission of an intended acquisition of Sprela GmbH (‘Sprela’, Germany), Falco CC (‘Falco’, Hungary) and of the raw and coated particleboard division of FunderMax GmbH (‘FunderMax’, Austria) from Constantia Industries AG.
Upon examination of the notification, the Commission concluded that the notified operation raised serious doubts as to the compatibility of the notified acquisition with the common market with regard to two product markets: (i) the market for raw particleboard and (ii) the market for coated particleboard, and decided to initiate proceedings pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 on 14 June 2007.
Access to key documents was provided to the notifying party on 20 June 2007, in accordance with paragraph 45 of DG Competition's Best Practices on the conduct of EC merger control proceedings.
On 12 July 2007, the parties proposed a modification to the notified transaction in order to remedy the serious concerns identified by the Commission to the effect that Kronospan will only acquire control in Sprela and Falco, whereas FunderMax will be retained by Constantia. The buyer also committed not to buy FunderMax for a certain period of time. The parties submitted a revised proposal for commitments on 31 July 2007.
The market test conducted by the Commission in the period between May and July 2007 confirmed that the proposed modifications remove the Commission's serious doubts as to the compatibility of the (modified) transaction with the common market and the EEA agreement.
The Commission decided therefore not to issue a Statement of Objections in the present case.
The Parties did not refer to me any concerns in terms of due process.
In the light of the above, I consider that the rights to be heard of all participants to the present proceeding have been respected.

Brussels, 10 September 2007.

Action brought on 13 June 2009 — De Nicola v EIB
(Case F-59/09)
2009/C 205/91
Language of the case: Italian

Parties


Applicant: Carlo De Nicola (Strassen, Luxembourg) (represented by: L. Isola, lawyer)

Defendant: European Investment Bank

Subject-matter and description of the proceedings

First, annulment of the measure adopted by the Appeals Committee on 14 November 2008 or the amendment of that measure in so far as it attributes to the applicant, instead of to his lawyer, the objection made to the three members of the committee. Second, annulment of the promotions decided upon on 29 April 2008, in so far as the applicant was not considered for promotion, and all related measures. Lastly, a declaration that the applicant was the victim of mobbing and an order that the defendant desist from such activity.

Form of order sought







—


Annul the measure of the Appeals Committee and, in any event, amend it in so far as it attributes to Mr De Nicola (instead of to his lawyer) the objection made to the three members of the committee and in so far as it states that the grounds of the objection were ‘nothing more than a simple challenge to the decision of 14 December 2007’, rather than the result of the admissions and abandonment of his claims which those three members wrongly attributed to Mr De Nicola;










—


annul the promotions of 29 April 2008 on the basis that they were decided upon without the applicant being considered for promotion, and all related, consequent and prior measures, including the assessment for 2007 and, if appropriate, declare that the restrictions imposed by the instructions given by the HR Directorate are unlawful;










—


declare that the applicant was the victim of mobbing and, accordingly,










—


order the EIB to desist from the mobbing and to pay compensation for the consequent personal, material and non-material damage suffered by the applicant and to pay the costs of the proceedings together with interest and monetary revaluation of the sums awarded.
