New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2016/C 281/10)



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.


Issuing country
: Malta


Subject of commemoration
: Ġgantija Temples


Description of the design
: The coin depicts the Ġgantija Temples situated on the Island of Gozo. Ġgantija is a megalithic temple complex dating to the Neolithic ages. It is one of the world's oldest free-standing structures, as well as one of the oldest religious structures. Built approximately in the 36th century BC, Ġgantija pre-dates Stonehenge and the Egyptian Pyramids. At the top right the inscription ‘ĠGANTIJA TEMPLES’ and underneath the years ‘3800-3200 BC’. At the bottom left the name of the country of issuance ‘MALTA’ and underneath the year of issuance ‘2016’, flanked by the mint master mark and the mint mark.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.


Number of coins to be issued
: 


Date of issue
: July-August 2016

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.8122 — SEGRO/PSPIB/SELP/Pusignan-DC1)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2016/C 281/12)






1.


On 25 July 2016, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertaking SEGRO plc (‘SEGRO’, United Kingdom) and Public Sector Pension Investment Board (‘PSPIB’, Canada) will, indirectly through SEGRO European Logistics Partnership SARL (‘SELP’, Luxembourg), acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of one income producing logistics asset Pusignan DC1 (France), by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for SEGRO: ownership, asset management and development of modern warehousing, light industrial and data centre properties located around major conurbations and at key transportation hubs across a number of EU countries.
—   for PSPIB: investment of the pension plans of the Canadian Federal Public Service, the Canadian Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Reserve Force. It manages a diversified global portfolio including stocks, bonds and other fixed-income securities as well as investments in private equity, real estate, infrastructure and natural resources.
—   for Pusignan DC1: a logistics asset located in Lyon in France.










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.
