New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2014/C 262/04)



Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.

Request for a preliminary ruling from the Juzgado de lo Mercantil No 9 de Barcelona (Spain) lodged on 12 August 2014 — Youssouf Drame Ba v Catalunya Caixa SA
(Case C-385/14)
2014/C 388/05
Language of the case: Spanish

Referring court

Juzgado de lo Mercantil No 9 de Barcelona

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Youssouf Drame Ba

Defendant: Catalunya Caixa SA

Questions referred

Given that the Spanish system provides in Article 43 of the LEC (1) that, where an individual action is brought concurrently by a consumer, the effect is that that action must be stayed and treated as a preliminary issue pending final judgment in collective proceedings, and that the consumer is bound by the decision in those proceedings without having had the opportunity to put forward the appropriate pleas or adduce evidence with full equality of arms:






1.


Can it be considered [that the Spanish legal system provides for] an effective means or mechanism pursuant to Article 7(1) of Directive 93/13? (2)











2.


To what extent does the effect of a stay of proceedings preclude a consumer from complaining that the unfair terms included in the contract concluded with him are void, and, therefore, infringe Article 7(1) of the directive?










3.


Does the fact that a consumer is unable to dissociate himself from collective proceedings constitute an infringement of Article 7(3) of Directive 93/13?










4.


Or, on the other hand, is the effect of a stay of proceedings provided for in Article 43 of the LEC compatible with Directive 93/13 on the grounds that the rights of consumers are fully safeguarded by a collective action, because the Spanish legal system provides for other equally effective procedural mechanisms for the protection of consumers’ rights and by the principle of legal certainty?

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.7316 — Det Norske Oljeselskap / Marathon Oil Norge)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/C 262/09)






1.


On 5 August 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 the undertaking Det Norske Oljeselskap ASA (‘Det Norske’, Norway), ultimately controlled by Aker ASA (‘Aker’, Norway), acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of Marathon Oil Norge AS (‘Marathon’ Norway), by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for Det Norske: the exploration and production (‘E&P’) of oil and gas on the Norwegian continental shelf. Det Norske is ultimately controlled by Aker, which is active, through its subsidiaries Aker Solutions ASA, Kvaerner ASA and Align AS, in the production and sale of specialised equipment for E&P companies on a global level as well as in the provision of operation and maintenance services for E&P companies with a focus on the North Sea,
—   for Marathon: the exploration and production of oil and gas on the Norwegian continental shelf.










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.










4.


The European Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed operation to the European Commission.
Observations must reach the European Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication. Observations can be sent to the European Commission by fax (+32 22964301), by e-mail to COMP-MERGER-REGISTRY@ec.europa.eu or by post, under reference number M.7316 — Det Norske Oljeselskap / Marathon Oil Norge, to the following address:
