Questions referred







1.


Must Article 6 of Directive 2001/29/EC (1) be interpreted, including in the light of recital 48 in the preamble thereto, as meaning that the protection of technological protection measures attaching to copyright-protected works or other subject matter may also extend to a system, produced and marketed by the same undertaking, in which a device is installed in the hardware which is capable of recognising on a separate housing mechanism containing the protected works (videogames produced by the same undertaking as well as by third parties, proprietors of the protected works) a recognition code, in the absence of which the works in question cannot be visualised or used in conjunction with that system, the equipment in question thus incorporating a system which is not interoperable with complementary equipment or products other than those of the undertaking which produces the system itself?










2.


Should it be necessary to consider whether or not the use of a product or component whose purpose is to circumvent a technological protection measure predominates over other commercially important purposes or uses, may Article 6 of Directive 2001/29/EC be interpreted, including in the light of recital 48 in the preamble thereto, as meaning that the national court must adopt criteria in assessing that question which give prominence to the particular intended use attributed by the right holder to the product in which the protected content is inserted or, in the alternative or in addition, criteria of a quantative nature relating to the extent of the uses under comparison, or criteria of a qualitative nature, that is, relating to the nature and importance of the uses themselves?

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case COMP/M.6666 — Oaktree/Marathon/Fitness First)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2012/C 222/04






1.


On 19 July 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 OCM Luxembourg EPF III Sarl (Luxembourg), ultimately controlled by Oaktree Capital Group Holdings GP LLC (‘Oaktree’, United States) and Marathon Asset Management LP (‘Marathon’, United States) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the undertaking Fitness First (United Kingdom), by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for Oaktree: alternative and non-traditional investment funds,










—


for Marathon: investment funds specialising in distressed and situational investing,










—


for Fitness First: operator of health and fitness clubs in Europe, the Far East and Australia.














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.6666 — Oaktree/Marathon/Fitness First, to the following address:
