Prior notification of a concentration
(Case COMP/M.6532 — Samsung Group/Corning Group)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2012/C 75/06






1.


On 5 March 2012, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertakings Samsung Mobile Display Co., Ltd (‘SMD’, South Korea) belonging to the Samsung Group, and Corning Holding Japan GK (‘Corning’, Japan) belonging to the Corning Group, acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of a newly-created undertaking (‘the Joint Venture’) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for SMD: manufacturing and sale of flat panel display systems, in particular film transistor liquid crystal displays (‘TFT-LCD’) and organic light emitting diodes (‘OLED’) displays,










—


for Corning: a holding company investing in companies, which manufacture and sell TFT-LCD glass products for use in displays and which sell other Corning products in Japan,










—


for the Joint Venture: manufacturing and sale of glass substrates for OLED applications in Korea.














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.

Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: E. Cujo, I. Rogalski and R. Vidal Puig, agents)

Defendant: Council of the European Union

Form of order sought







—


Annul Council decision 2011/853/EU of 29 November 2011 on the signing, on behalf of the Union, of the European Convention on the legal protection of services based on, or consisting of, conditional access (1)











—


Order the Council of the European Union to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

By its first plea, the Commission claims that Article 114 TFEU is not an appropriate legal basis for the adoption of the contested decision. According to the applicant, the decision should have been based on Article 207(4) TFEU which authorises the Council to conclude international agreements in the field of the common commercial policy, as defined in Article 207(1) TFEU. The present convention does not aim to ‘improve the functioning of the internal market’, its principal objective being to ‘facilitate’ or ‘promote’ the provision of services based on conditional access between the European Union and other European countries. It would have a direct and immediate effect on the provision of services based on conditional access and on the trade in illicit devices and on the services relating to those devices. Consequently, the convention falls within the scope of the common commercial policy.
By its second plea, the applicant claims that the European Union’s exclusive external competence (Article 2(1) and 3(1) and (2) TFEU) has been infringed because the Council considered that the conclusion of the convention did not fall within the European Union’s exclusive competence whereas the convention falls within the common commercial policy or, in any case, that the conclusion of the convention is capable of affecting common rules or of altering their scope.

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the General Court should:

declare that the suspension of payment which the European Commission has imposed in respect of the sums which it owes the applicant for the PERFORM and OASIS projects constitutes a breach of its contractual obligations;










—


require the Commission to pay to the applicant the sum of EUR 637 117,17 in respect of the PERFORM project, together with the interest provided for by paragraph 5 of Clause II.5 of Annex II to the principal contract from service of the present action;










—


require the Commission to acknowledge that the applicant does not have to return the sum of EUR 56 390,00 which it paid to the applicant in respect of the OASIS project;

Pleas in law and main arguments

The present action concerns liability of the Commission under (a) contract No 215952 for the carrying out of the project ‘A soPhisticatEd multi-paRametric system FOR the continuous effective assessment and Monitoring of motor status in Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases (PERFORM)’ and (b) contract No 215754 for the carrying out of the project ‘Open architecture for Accessible Services Integration and Standardisation (OASIS)’, pursuant to Article 272 TFEU.
Specifically, the applicant submits that, although it duly performed its contractual obligations in full, the Commission suspended the payments to the applicant without being entitled to do so and in breach of the foregoing contracts and of the principle of good faith. For that reason, the applicant submits, first, that the Commission must be obliged to pay to it the sum of EUR 637 117,17 in respect of the PERFORM project, together with the interest provided for by paragraph 5 of Clause II.5 of Annex II to the principal contract, and second, that it must be acknowledged that the applicant does not have to return the sum of EUR 56 390,00 which it received in respect of the OASIS project.
