Notice to importers — Imports of tuna products from Thailand into the European Union

Notice to importers
Imports of tuna products from Thailand into the European Union
2013/C 220/05
The European Commission informs European Union operators that there are reasonable doubts concerning the proper application of the preferential tariff treatment and the applicability of proofs of origin presented in the European Union for canned tuna and frozen tuna loins of HS subheading 160414 imported from Thailand.
It would appear — following a number of investigations — that significant quantities of canned tuna and frozen tuna loins of HS subheading 160414 are declared for release for free circulation in the European Union as having Thai origin, despite not being eligible for such preferential treatment.
European Union operators declaring or presenting proofs of origin for the products mentioned above are therefore advised to take all necessary precautions. This is because the release of the goods in question for free circulation may give rise to a customs debt, lead to fraud and, consequently, negatively affect European Union financial interests. The possible subsequent entry in the accounts of a customs debt resulting from the abovementioned circumstances will be covered by the provisions of the fifth subparagraph of Article 220(2)(b) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1).

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case COMP/M.6903 — RWA/GENOL)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2013/C 220/16






1.


On 25 July 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 undertaking RWA Raiffeisen Ware Austria AG (‘RWA’, Austria), jointly controlled by BayWa Aktiengesellschaft (‘BayWa’, Germany) and RWA Raiffeisen Ware Austria Handel und Vermögensverwaltung eGen, Vienna (‘RWA Genossenschaft’, Austria) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of GENOL Gesellschaft m.b.H & Co KG (‘GENOL’, Austria) by way of contract of management.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


RWA: distribution of agricultural products (e.g. crop, oilseeds, wood), farm inputs (seeds, crop protection products, fertilizers, feeding stuff) and consumer products (esp. building materials and home and gardening equipment),










—


BayWa: wholesale and retail sale of agricultural products and commodities as well as consumer goods and energy (such as solid and liquid fuels, heating oil and renewables),










—


RWA Genossenschaft: agricultural cooperative which is not controlled by third parties and which acts as a mere holding without operational activities on the market,










—


GENOL: distribution of heating oil, motor fuels and related products (such as lubricants) and other fuels (in particular, coal, wood pellets and firewood).














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.
