Questions referred







1.


Is it inconsistent with the correct application of Articles 3(2) and 216 TFEU — according to which the Union has exclusive competence for the conclusion of an international agreement when that conclusion is provided for in a legislative act of the Union or is necessary to enable the Union to exercise its internal competence, or in so far as its conclusion may affect common rules or alter their scope, with the twofold consequence that, first, the power to conclude with non-member States agreements that affect common rules or alter their operation, or [affect] a sector completely governed by Community law and for which the Union has exclusive competence, is centralised within the European Union itself and, secondly, that such authority no longer resides individually or collectively with the Member States — and of Article 5 of Directive 2001/77/EC, for a national provision ([Article] 20(3) of Legislative Decree No 387 of 2003) to make the recognition of the guarantees of origin issued by third States subject to the conclusion of an appropriate international agreement between the Italian State and the third State in question?










2.


Are the national rules at issue inconsistent with the correct application of the abovementioned Community rules, when the Non-Member State is the Swiss Confederation, linked to the European Union by a free trade agreement concluded on 22 July 1972 and entered into force on 1 January 1973?










3.


Is it inconsistent with the correct application of the Community rules referred to in question (i) for the provision of national law, contained in Article 4(6) of the Ministerial Decree of 11 November 1999, to lay down that, when electricity is imported from non-Member States of the European Union, acceptance of the application is conditional upon the conclusion of an agreement between the National Grid Manager and an equivalent local authority determining the detailed rules for the necessary checks?










4.


In particular, is it inconsistent with the proper application of the Community rules at issue for the agreement under Article 4(6) of the Ministerial Decree of November 1999 to consist of a merely tacit agreement, never set out in official documents and the subject of a mere statement by the appellant, which is unable to provide details of its essential elements?

Questions referred







1.


Must the extraordinary circumstance within the meaning of Article 5(3) of the regulation (1) relate directly to the booked flight?










2.


If the first question is to be answered in the negative, how many earlier flights involving the aircraft to be used in the scheduled flight are relevant to the existence of an extraordinary circumstance? Is there a time limit to the consideration of extraordinary circumstances which occur during earlier flights? If so, how is that time limit to be calculated?










3.


If extraordinary circumstances which occur during earlier flights are also relevant to a later flight, must the reasonable measures to be taken by the operating air carrier, in accordance with Article 5(3) of the regulation, relate only to preventing the extraordinary circumstance or also to avoiding a long delay?

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case COMP/M.6820 — EQT Infrastructure II/E.ON Energy from Waste)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2013/C 36/12






1.


On 1 February 2013, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which EQT Infrastructure II (‘EQT’, The Netherlands), acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control over E.ON Energy from Waste AG (‘EEW’, Germany), currently directly wholly-owned by E.ON SE, by way of a purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for EQT: investment fund,










—


for EEW: private company that owns and/or operates energy from waste plants in Germany, Luxembourg and The Netherlands that, using thermal treatment, convert the energy potential of waste into electricity, district heating and process steam.














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.6820 — EQT Infrastructure II/E.ON Energy from Waste, to the following address:
