Question referred

Are Articles 2(1) and 4(1) of the Sixth Directive (1) to be interpreted to the effect that, in circumstances such as those of this case (in which a person buys plots of land acting as a natural person, without being charged any input VAT, then acting as a sole trader builds on those plots a shopping centre, enters as assets of his business on the basis of national accounting rules only some of the plots on which he built the shopping centre and then sells the centre together with all the plots of land to the developer), such a person must, because he has not entered certain plots of land as assets of his business or included those plots in the VAT system, be considered not to be obliged to calculate and pay output VAT?

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.7261 — Goldman Sachs/Blackstone/Ipreo)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2014/C 213/06






1.


On 27 June 2014, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertakings Goldman Sachs Group, Inc (‘Goldman Sachs’ USA) and the Blackstone Group L.P. (‘Blackstone’ USA) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the undertaking Ipreo Holdings LLC (‘Ipreo’ USA) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


Goldman Sachs is a global investment banking, securities and investment management firm,










—


Blackstone is a global alternative asset manager and provider of financial advisory services,










—


Ipreo provides, worldwide, financial information products including deal execution software, information databases, investor prospecting and customer relationship management tools (‘CRM’), as well as market intelligence and analytics, to financial institutions and corporations.














3.


On preliminary examination, the 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 the 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.
