(Case COMP/M.7043 — GDF Suez/Balfour Beatty (UK Facilities Management))
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2013/C 321/06






1.


On 31 October 2013, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which GDF Suez Energy Services International SA (GSES International, Belgium), belonging to the GDF Suez Group (France) acquires, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation, sole control of Balfour Beatty Workplace Limited (United Kingdom), Covion Holdings Limited (United Kingdom) and Colledge Trundle & Hall Limited (United Kingdom), by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


GSES International offers, through its primary brand Cofely, a combination of service expertise, in particular the provision of facilities management including energy services, designing and implementing solutions which offer businesses, public authorities and communities the means to achieve cost savings, through efficient management of buildings and installations,










—


GDF Suez is active across the entire energy chain, in electricity and natural gas,










—


Balfour Beatty Workplace Limited, Covion Holdings Limited and Colledge Trundle and Hall Limited (and their respective subsidiaries) primarily provide facilities management services in the UK.














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.

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Jan Sneller

Defendant: DAS Nederlandse Rechtsbijstand Verzekeringsmaatschappij NV

Re:

Request for a preliminary — Hoge Raad der Nederlanden — Netherlands — Interpretation of Article 4(1) of Council Directive 87/344/EEC of 22 June 1987 on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to legal expenses insurance (OJ 1987 L 185, p. 77) — Insured person’s freedom to choose a lawyer

Operative part of the judgment







1.


Article 4(1)(a) of Council Directive 87/344/EEC of 22 June 1987 on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to legal expenses insurance must be interpreted as precluding a legal expenses insurer which stipulates in its insurance contracts that legal assistance will in principle be provided by its employees from also providing that the costs of legal assistance provided by a lawyer or legal representative chosen freely by the insured person will be covered only if the insurer takes the view that the handling of the case must be subcontracted to an external lawyer;










2.


The answer to question 1 will not differ depending on whether or not legal assistance is compulsory under national law in the inquiry or proceedings concerned.
