Questions referred







1.


Is Article 6(4) of Directive 88/361/EEC (1) of 24 June 1988 for the implementation of Article 67 of the Treaty, according to which existing national legislation regulating purchases of secondary residences may be upheld, still applicable to the purchase of secondary residences situated in a Member State of the EU by a national of the Principality of Liechtenstein, which forms part of the EEA?










2.


Does national legislation which, on the basis of Article 6(4) of Council Directive 88/361/EEC of 24 June 1988, prohibits a national of the Principality of Liechtenstein from purchasing a secondary residence situated in a Member State of the EU conflict with the provisions of the EEA Agreement concerning the free movement of capital, so that a national authority must disregard such national legislation?

1.


On 22 September 2010, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertakings Apotheek DocMorris NV (Netherlands), belonging to the Haniel group, and K-mail Order GmbH & Co KG (Germany) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the undertaking Wellsana BV (Netherlands) by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


Apotheek DocMorris NV: retail trade in pharmaceutical products through a pharmacy,










—


K-mail Order GmbH & Co KG: retail trade in fashion, jewellery, household goods and health products.
