1.


On 19 November 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 Schibsted ASA (‘Schibsted’, Norway), Singapore Press Holdings Ltd (‘SPH’, Singapore), and Telenor ASA (‘Telenor’, Norway) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the online classifieds businesses in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam of Naspers Limited (‘Naspers’, South Africa), by way of purchase of assets. The acquisition of Naspers businesses in Malaysia and Vietnam takes place through 701 Search Pte Ltd (‘701’, Singapore), a joint venture between Schibsted, SPH and Telenor.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for Telenor: mobile and fixed telecommunications services;
—   for Schibsted: print online media services and online classified services;
—   for Singapore Press Holdings: publication of newspapers, including the provision of online news content, online classifieds, radio broadcasting, event organisation, out of home advertising and property management;
—   for 701: online classified services;
—   for Naspers: internet services, including e-commerce services, such as online retail, online marketplaces, online comparison shopping, payments and other online services; pay television services and print media.

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 this Notice.










4.


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

Question referred

On a proper construction of the principles and rules contained in Article 4(3) TEU and Council Directive 2006/112/EC (1), as already interpreted in the judgments of the Court of Justice of 17 July 2008 in C-132/06, of 11 December 2008 in C-174/07, and of 29 March 2012 in C-500/10, must those principles and rules also be interpreted in such a way that a national rule (and, therefore, in respect of the case in the main proceedings, an interpretation of Articles 162 and 182(b) of the Bankruptcy Law) is incompatible [with EU law] where, under that rule, a proposal for an arrangement with creditors with the liquidation of the debtor’s assets, permits only partial payment of the State’s claim in respect of VAT, where there is no tax settlement and where, in respect of that claim, a larger payment in the event of bankruptcy is not foreseeable on the basis of an assessment by an independent expert and following the formal review of the court?
