Appellants: Trento Sviluppo srl, Centrale Adriatica Soc. coop. arl

Respondent: Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato

Re:

Request for a preliminary ruling — Consiglio di Stato — Interpretation of Article 6(1) of Directive 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2005 concerning unfair business-to-consumer commercial practices in the internal market and amending Council Directive 84/450/EEC, Directives 97/7/EC, 98/27/EC and 2002/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ 2005 L 149, p. 22) — Concept of ‘misleading action’ — Cumulative nature of the conditions listed under the provision in question.

Operative part of the judgment

A commercial practice must be classified as ‘misleading’ for the purposes of Article 6(1) of Directive 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2005 concerning unfair business-to-consumer commercial practices in the internal market and amending Council Directive 84/450/EEC, Directives 97/7/EC, 98/27/EC and 2002/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Unfair Commercial Practices Directive’) where that practice contains false information, or is likely to deceive the average consumer, and is likely to cause the consumer to take a transactional decision that he would not have taken otherwise. Article 2(k) of the directive must be interpreted as meaning that any decision directly related to the decision whether or not to purchase a product is covered by the concept of ‘transactional decision’.

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case COMP/M.7050 — Allianz SE/NRF/Kamppi Shopping Center)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2013/C 372/15)






1.


On 11 December 2013, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Allianz SE (Germany) and Nordic Retail Fund FCP — FIS (‘NRF’, Luxemburg) acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation, joint control of NRF (Finland) AB (‘the Company’, Sweden) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


Allianz SE: the ultimate holding company of Allianz Group and a multinational financial services provider active worldwide in the insurance and asset management business,










—


NRF: a real estate fund established in Luxembourg with a focus on investing in shopping centres in Finland and Sweden,










—


for the Company: a shareholder of various Finnish companies which are owners of or holders of hereditary building rights to Kamppi Shopping Centre in Helsinki, Finland.














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.7050 — Allianz SE/NRF/Kamppi Shopping Center, to the following address:

Defendants: Ministre de l’Écologie, du Développement durable, des Transports et du Logement, Ministre de l’Économie, des Finances et de l’Industrie

Intervener: Syndicat des énergies renouvelables

Re:

Request for a preliminary ruling — Conseil d’État (France) — Interpretation of Article 87 EC, now Article 107 TFEU — Concept of intervention by the State or through State resources — Obligation to purchase wind-generated electricity at a price higher than the market price — Additional costs offset in full — Change in the method of financing that offsetting — Charges payable by final consumers of electricity.

Operative part of the judgment

Article 107(1) TFEU must be interpreted as meaning that a mechanism for offsetting in full the additional costs imposed on undertakings because of an obligation to purchase wind-generated electricity at a price higher than the market price that is financed by all final consumers of electricity in the national territory, such as that resulting from Law No 2000-108 of 10 February 2000 on the modernisation and development of the public electricity service, as amended by Law No 2006-1537 of 7 December 2006 on the energy sector, constitutes an intervention through State resources.
