1.


On 11 December 2014, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Rhône Capital L.L.C. (‘Rhône Capital’, United States of America) and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (‘Goldman Sachs’, United States of America) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control over Neovia Logistics, L.L.C. (‘Neovia’, United States of America) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


Neovia is a logistics and supply chain service provider,










—


Rhône Capital is a private equity firm,










—


Goldman Sachs is a global investment banking, securities, and investment management firm that provides a range of banking, securities, and investment services worldwide. Goldman Sachs’ global activities are generally divided into four segments: (i) investment banking, (ii) institutional client services, (iii) investment and lending, and (iv) investment management.

Action brought on 19 December 2014 — European Commission v Kingdom of Belgium
(Case C-591/14)
(2015/C 073/22)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: J.-F. Brakeland and B. Stromsky, Acting as agents, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Kingdom of Belgium

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


declare that by failing, within the period prescribed, to take all the necessary measures to recover from the beneficiaries the aid declared to be illegal and incompatible with the internal market by Article 1(3) and (4) of Commission Decision 2011/678/EU of 27 July 2011, concerning the State aid for financing screening of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) in bovine animals implemented by Belgium (1), and by failing to inform the Commission, within the prescribed period, of the measures taken to comply with that decision, the Kingdom of Belgium has failed to comply with its obligations under the fourth paragraph of Article 288 TFEU and Articles 2, 3 and 4 of Commission Decision 2011/678/EU.










—


order the Kingdom of Belgium to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

By Commission Decision 2011/678/EU concerning the State aid for financing screening of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) in bovine animals implemented by the Kingdom of Belgium, the Commission declared aid granted by Belgium to be illegal and incompatible with the internal market.
The period prescribed by the decision for the recovery of the aid declared to be illegal expired on 28 November 2011, without the complete recovery of those aids having taken place.
At the date on which the present action was lodged, the defendant had still not adopted the necessary measures to recover the aid granted to the beneficiary companies, nor communicated to the Commission all the information requested.
