            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
         
of 6 February 2014
         
repealing Decision 2003/766/EC on emergency measures to prevent the spread within the Community of Diabrotica virgifera Le Conte
(notified under document C(2014) 467)
(2014/62/EU)


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular the fourth sentence of Article 16(3) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Commission Decision 2003/766/EC (2) has failed to prevent the spread of Diabrotica virgifera virgifera Le Conte as appears from the yearly surveys carried out by the Member States pursuant to that Decision. Those surveys further show that Diabrotica virgifera virgifera Le Conte has now established in a large part of the Union territory. In addition, it is not feasible to block its further spread and effective and sustainable means of control minimising the impact of that organism on maize yield exist, in particular the implementation of a crop rotation scheme.












(2)


Decision 2003/766/EC should therefore be repealed.












(3)


The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
Decision 2003/766/EC is repealed.


Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.




Done at Brussels, 6 February 2014.

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case COMP/M.7124 — CPPIB/INTU/Parque Principado)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2014/C 35/05






1.


On 24 January 2014, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (‘CPPIB’, Canada) and Intu Properties Plc (‘Intu’, UK) will acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1) (b) of the Merger Regulation, joint control of Parque Principado Sarl (‘Parque Principado’, Luxemburg) by way of purchase of securities.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for CPPIB: professional investment management organisation that invests the assets of the Canada Pension Plan in public equities, private equities, real estate, infrastructure and fixed income investments,










—


for Intu: real estate investment trust largely focused on shopping centre ownership, management and development across the UK,










—


for Parque Principado: commercial real estate in Spain through the ownership of the ‘Parque Principado Shopping Centre’ and a second property also located within the Parque Principado complex, notably the Eroski Unit in Oviedo, Spain.














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.7124 — CPPIB/INTU/Parque Principado, to the following address:
