Prior notification of a concentration

Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2016/C 420/06)






1.


On 8 November 2016, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 and following a referral pursuant to Article 4(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Egeria Industrials AG (‘Egeria’, Switzerland) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of Clondalkin Group Holdings BV (‘Clondalkin’, The Netherlands) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for Egeria: private equity investment, longhold portfolio investments and real estate investments,
—   for Clondalkin: manufacture of flexible packaging products including barrier films, biodegradable films, bundle wrapping, capping foils and lidding films, cereal liners, confectionery packaging, flower sleeves packaging, frozen food film, home & personal care films and laminates, lids, shrink sleeves, skin packaging, stand- up pouches and tobacco inner liners, laminate food packaging and other similar products.










3.

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.

European Union law must be interpreted as meaning that the system of non-contractual liability of a Member State for damage caused by a breach of that law does not apply in the case of damage allegedly caused to an individual as a result of an alleged breach of a fundamental freedom laid down in Article 49, 56 or 63 TFEU by national legislation that is applicable without distinction to the State’s own nationals and those of other Member States, where, in a situation which is confined in all respects within a single Member State, there is no link between the subject or circumstances of the dispute in the main proceedings and those articles.
