Prior notification of a concentration
(Case COMP/M.7145 — Veolia Environnement/Dalkia International)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2014/C 109/05






1.


On 2 April 2014, the European Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Veolia Environnement S.A. (‘Veolia’, France) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control over Dalkia International from Electricité de France (‘EDF’), by way of purchase of shares. Veolia and EDF currently hold joint control of Dalkia International.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for Veolia: provision of environmental management services (water, waste management, transportation and energy services),
—   for Dalkia International: provision of activities in the energy services sector outside France, especially the operation of heating and cooling networks, the provision of multi-technology management services for buildings and industrial utilities, and, to a lesser extent, the generation and wholesale of electricity.










3.


On preliminary examination, the European Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the 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 Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.










4.


The European Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed operation to the European Commission.










5.


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 e-mail to COMP-MERGER-REGISTRY@ec.europa.eu or by post, under reference number COMP/M.7145 — Veolia Environnement/Dalkia International, to the following address:

(Case C-178/14)
2014/C 223/02
Language of the case: German

Referring court

Finanzgericht Düsseldorf

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Vario Tek GmbH

Defendant: Hauptzollamt Düsseldorf

Questions referred







1.


Does the fact that a video camera has no zoom function preclude its classification under subheading 8525 80 9 of the Combined Nomenclature in the version of Commission Regulation (EU) No 861/2010 of 5 October 2010 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 of 27 September 2011, both amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff? (1)











2.


If Question 1 is answered in the negative, is a video camera recorder able to record sound and images taken by the camera within the meaning of CN subheading 8525 80 91 solely by virtue of the fact that a video or audio file can be copied, via a USB port on the camera, from another device to the interchangeable storage medium required to operate the camera, even though those files cannot be viewed or listened to with the camera alone?






(1)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (OJ 1987 L 256, p. 1) as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 861/2010 of 5 October 2010 and Commission Regulation No 1006/2011 of 27 September 2011 amending Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, OJ 2010 L 284, p. 1.

Order the Commission to bear the costs of the applicants in the proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicants rely on three pleas in law.

2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the Contested Decision infringes Article 107(3)(c) TFEU and the principle of good administration since:






—


the measure is not necessary and therefore has no proper common interest objective;










—


the measure includes costs with no common interest justification;










—


the measure is not an appropriate instrument for achieving the common interest objective;










—


the measure distorts competition and has an adverse effect on trade; and

the Commission failed to take the overall context into account for the assessment of the measure.














3.


Third plea in law, alleging alleging that the Commission, at various points in the contested measure, failed to adequately state its reasons.
