Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.7422 — Riverstone/Barclays/Origo)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2015/C 86/08)






1.


On 6 March 2015, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Riverstone Holdings LLC (‘Riverstone’, UK) and Barclays Bank plc (‘Barclays’, UK) will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and Article 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control by way of purchase of shares in a newly-created company constituting a joint venture Origo Exploration AS (‘Origo’, Norway).










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   Riverstone: private equity firm focused on investments in the energy and power sectors,
—   Barclays: global financial services provider engaged in personal banking, credit cards, corporate and investment banking and wealth and investment management services,
—   Origo: newly-established company, which will be engaged in oil and gas exploration and production activities on the Norwegian and United Kingdom continental shelves.










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 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.
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 email to COMP-MERGER-REGISTRY@ec.europa.eu or by post, under reference number M.7422 — Riverstone/Barclays/Origo, to the following address:

New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2015/C 86/03)



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).

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.


Issuing country

Subject of commemoration
: the 15th anniversary of the accession to the throne of H.R.H. the Grand Duke


Description of the design
: The coin depicts their Royal Highnesses Grand Duke Henri and the Grand Duchess. The year of accession ‘2000’, the issuing country ‘Luxembourg’ and the year mark ‘2015’ appear above them. Below them appears the inscription ‘15e anniversaire de l’accession au trône de S.A.R. le Grand-Duc’ (15th anniversary of the accession to the throne of H.R.H. the Grand Duke).
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Action brought on 13 March 2015 — Kingdom of Spain v Council of the European Union
(Case C-128/15)
(2015/C 155/19)
Language of the case: Spanish

Parties


Applicant: Kingdom of Spain (represented by: L. Banciella Rodríguez-Miñón y A. Rubio González, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Council of the European Union

Form of order sought

The Kingdom of Spain claims that the Court should:






—


annul the contested measure, and










—


order the Council to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments







1.



Infringement by the Council of its margin of discretion in fixing fishing opportunities for 2015 and 2016 in Article 3 of Regulation No 1367/2014
 (1)
and Part 2 of the Annex thereto for the species roundnose grenadier (RNG — Coryphaenoides rupestris) in zones Vb, VI and VII, and roughhead grenadier (RHG — Macrourus berglax) in zones VIII, IX, X, XII and XIV, which undermines the relative stability of historical catches of the species roughhead grenadier by the Kingdom of Spain.










2.



Compliance with the principle of proportionality. Regulation No 1367/2014 is manifestly disproportionate with regard to the fixing of the combined TAC for the two species of grenadier in zones V, VI and VII on the one hand, and for zones VIII, IX, X, XII and XIV on the other.










3.



Infringement of the principle of equal treatment. The principle of non-discrimination has been infringed in the fixing of a combined TAC for the two species of grenadier, since in comparison with the cases referred to, the principle of relative stability was not complied with and the TAC was imposed unilaterally by the European institutions without taking account of Spain’s legitimate demands.






(1)  Council Regulation (EU) No 1367/2014 of 15 December 2014 fixing for 2015 and 2016 the fishing opportunities for Union fishing vessels for certain deep-sea fish stocks (OJ 2014 L 366, p. 1).
