Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.8381 — Motherson Sumi Systems/PKC Group)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2017/C 66/13)






1.


On 21 February 2017, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Motherson Sumi Systems Limited (‘MSSL’, India) acquires, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation, control of the whole of PKC Group OYJ (‘PKC’, Finland) by way of a public bid announced on 19 January 2017.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for MSSL: manufacturing of automotive wire harnesses, passenger car mirrors, and plastic components and modules such as cockpits, bumpers and interior trims. MSSL also has a growing presence in a broad range of other polymer, elastomer and metal based parts and systems.
—   for PKC: design, manufacturing and integration of tailored electrical distribution systems and related architecture components, vehicle electronics, wires and cables. In addition, PKC designs and manufactures electrical cabinets, power packs and electrical distribution systems for rolling stock manufacturers.










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.










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.

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Zentrale zur Bekämpfung unlauteren Wettbewerbs Frankfurt am Main eV

Defendant: comtech GmbH

Operative part of the judgment

The concept of ‘basic rate’ referred to in Article 21 of Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 on consumer rights, amending Council Directive 93/13/EEC and Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directive 85/577/EEC and Directive 97/7/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, must be interpreted as meaning that call charges relating to a contract concluded with a trader to a telephone helpline operated by the trader may not exceed the cost of a call to a standard geographic landline or mobile telephone line. Provided that that limit is respected, the fact that the relevant trader makes or does not make a profit through that telephone helpline is irrelevant.
