NOTIFICATION BY THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND TO THE COUNCIL
of 28 May 2010
of a declaration pursuant to point (l) of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the coordination of social security systems
2011/C 135/10
With reference to the provisions of point (l) of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the coordination of social security systems (1), the French Government declares that that Regulation applies to:






—


the unemployment insurance scheme of the Union Nationale pour l'emploi dans l'industrie et le commerce (UNEDIC), as established in the convention signed by the national organisations representing employers and employees on 19 February 2009 and all the associated texts (rules, annexes and implementing agreements), which were approved by Ministerial Decree of 30 March 2009, entered into force on 1 April 2009 and expire on 31 March 2011 (hereinafter ‘the unemployment insurance scheme’).




The date of effective application of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 to the unemployment insurance scheme has been set as 1 May 2010, the date of application of that Regulation and the date of the repeal of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 of 14 June 1971 on the application of social security schemes to employed persons, to self-employed persons and to members of their families moving within the Community, and consequently the date on which the previous declaration concerning the unemployment insurance scheme, made pursuant to point (j) of Article 1 and Article 97 of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, ceased to apply.
This Declaration does not constitute a one-off declaration concerning the aforementioned agreement, but rather relates to the application of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 to the whole of the French unemployment insurance scheme, including the subsequent amendments thereto and the new agreements which will replace that of 19 February 2009.

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case COMP/M.5885 — Altarea/Predica/ABP/Aldeta)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2010/C 138/09






1.


On 20 May 2010 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) (‘the Merger Regulation’) by which the undertakings Altarea (‘Altarea’, France), Predica (‘Predica’, France) belonging to the group Crédit Agricole SA (‘GCA’) and Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP (‘ABP’, Netherlands) acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation, joint control of the company Aldeta (‘Aldeta’, France) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


Altarea: parent company of the Altarea Cogedim group, active principally in the commercial real estate market in France. Its main activity is owning and managing commercial centres on its own behalf,










—


Predica: subsidiary of GCA, a group active in banking and insurance-related services. Predica holds and manages real estate assets on its own behalf,










—


ABP: pension fund of employers and employees of the government and the State education sector in the Netherlands. It has holdings in the real estate sector in France,










—


Aldeta: company whose only activity is to own and manage a shopping centre called ‘Cap 3 000’ in Saint-Laurent du Var (Alpes Maritimes, France).














3.


On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the EC Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under the EC Merger Regulation (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.










4.


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 22964301), by email to COMP-MERGER-REGISTRY@ec.europa.eu or by post, under reference number COMP/M.5885 — Altarea/Predica/ABP/Aldeta, to the following address:

Declare that, by failing to adopt all the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to implement the penalties for infringement of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (1) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC, or in any event in failing to inform the Commission thereof, the Kingdom of Belgium has failed to fulfil its obligations under the provisions of Article 126 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006;










—


order the Kingdom of Belgium to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

As the Kingdom of Belgium has not adopted all the measures with regard to the implementation of penalties for infringement of the REACH Regulation, which should have entered into force by 1 December 2008 at the latest, or at least has failed to inform the Commission thereof, the Commission concludes that the Kingdom of Belgium has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 126 of that regulation.
