Applicant: Ekkehard Aleweld

Defendant: Condor Flugdienst GmbH

Questions referred







1.


Is there also a right under Article 7 of Regulation No 261/20004 (1) to compensation where the departure of the booked flight is delayed by more than three hours, the passenger rebooks on another airline and the delay on arrival compared with the original flight is thereby appreciably reduced, whilst both the original flight and the replacement flight arrive at the original destination far more than three hours late?










2.


If Question 1 is answered in the affirmative: is it decisive in this regard that the period of five hours, specified in Article 6(1)(iii), for application of Article 8(1) of the regulation has or has not expired?










3.


Is it material whether the rebooking was made independently by the passenger or with the defendant’s help?






(1)  Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights, and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 295/91 (OJ 2004 L 46, p. 1).

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case COMP/M.6909 — Qatar Investment Authority/Kingdom Holding Company/FRHI Holdings)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2013/C 134/08






1.


On 2 May 2013, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the FRHI Holdings Limited (‘FRHI’, Cayman) will become jointly controlled, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation, by Qatar Investment Authority (‘QIA’, Qatar) and Kingdom Holding Company (‘KHC’, Saudi Arabia) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for QIA: the sovereign investment fund of the State of Qatar,










—


for KHC: a diversified investment holding company, active inter alia in hotel real estate and management firms. It holds interests in leading hotel brands such as Four Seasons and Mövenpick,










—


for FRHI: a global hotel management company operating 97 hotels and resorts worldwide under the Fairmont, Raffles, and Swissôtel brands.














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.
