amending Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 114/2013 for the purpose of correcting the 2010 average specific CO2 emissions specified for the manufacturer Piaggio
(Text with EEA relevance)


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2011 setting emission performance standards for new light commercial vehicles as part of the Union’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles (1), and in particular Article 11(7) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


The manufacturer of light commercial vehicles, Piaggio, has informed the Commission that the average specific CO2 emissions in 2010 specified for that manufacturer in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 114/2013 of 6 November 2012 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to rules for the application for a derogation from the specific CO2 emissions targets for new light commercial vehicles (2) are incorrect. The manufacturer has provided detailed evidence demonstrating that the average specific CO2 emissions in 2010 were significantly higher than the value indicated in that Regulation.












(2)


The Commission has assessed the evidence provided by Piaggio and considers that it is appropriate to correct the value.












(3)


Delegated Regulation (EU) No 114/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly,

Article 1
In the list in Annex III to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 114/2013, the entry in the second column, with the heading ‘Average emissions, (g/km)’, for the make ‘Piaggio’ is replaced by ‘177,00’.

Opinion of the Advisory Committee on mergers given at its meeting of 21 August 2013 regarding a draft decision relating to Case M.6360 Nynas/Shell/Harburg Refinery
Rapporteur: Belgium
2014/C 368/02






1.


The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the notified operation constitutes a concentration within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation.










2.


The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the notified transaction has a Union dimension pursuant to Article 1(2) of the Merger Regulation.










3.


The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission’s definitions of the relevant product and geographic markets as stated in the draft decision.










4.


The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission’s analysis that, without the proposed transaction, the Harburg refinery assets will most likely exit the market.










5.


The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission’s assessment that the notified concentration, as originally proposed by the notifying party, is not likely to give rise to non-coordinated horizontal effects that would significantly impede effective competition in the EEA markets for (i) naphthenic base and process oils, and (ii) TFO (Transformer oils).










6.


The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission’s assessment that the notified concentration, as originally proposed by the notifying party, is not likely to give rise to coordinated effects that would significantly impede effective competition in the EEA markets for (i) naphthenic base and process oils, and (ii) TFO (Transformer oils).










7.


The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission’s assessment that the notified concentration, as originally proposed by the notifying party, is not likely to give rise to non-horizontal effects that would significantly impede effective competition in the EEA markets for (i) naphthenic base and process oils, and (ii) TFO (Transformer oils).










8.


The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the notified transaction must therefore be declared compatible with the internal market and the functioning of the EEA Agreement in accordance with Articles 2(2) and 8(1) of the Merger Regulation and Article 57 of the EEA Agreement.










9.


The Advisory Committee asks the Commission to take into account all the other points raised during the discussion.
