1.


On 29 March 2011, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which undertaking Altor Fund III (‘Altor’, Jersey) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of E.ON ES Sverige AB (‘E.ON ES’, Sweden), including its subsidiaries E.ON ES Trafik & Belysning AB (Sweden), E.ON ES Norge A/S (Norway) and ES Kraftmontasje A/S (Norway) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for Altor: private equity fund,










—


for E.ON ES: contracting, operation and maintenance services for energy networks mainly in the electricity sector.

Reference for a preliminary ruling from the Bundesfinanzhof (Germany) lodged on 6 April 2011 — Dr Manfred Beker and Christa Beker v Finanzamt Heilbronn
(Case C-168/11)
2011/C 211/18
Language of the case: German

Referring court

Bundesfinanzhof

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicants: Dr Manfred Beker and Christa Beker

Defendant: Finanzamt Heilbronn

Question referred

Does Article 56 EC preclude a rule in a Member State by which — in accordance with treaties concluded in order to avoid double taxation — in the case of taxpayers with unlimited tax liability whose foreign revenue is liable to tax corresponding to national (German) income tax in the State in which the revenue originates, the foreign tax is offset against national (German) income tax levied on revenue from that State in such a way that the national (German) income tax resulting from assessment of the revenue to be taxed — including foreign revenue — is apportioned in the proportion that that foreign revenue bears to total revenue — and hence without taking into account special expenditure or extraordinary costs as costs relating to personal life style and personal and family circumstances?
