On 18 May 2017, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Chrysaor Holdings Limited (‘CHL’, United Kingdom) controlled by EIG Global Energy Partners (‘EIG’, United States) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of a portfolio of Northern North Sea assets (‘Target Assets’) currently owned by the Shell Group (Netherlands) by way of a purchase of shares and assets.

—


declare that the mark ‘YATEKOMO’ is well known;










—


order EUIPO to make available to the Court all the documentation which was provided for that registration and which comprised the file for the annulment proceedings before EUIPO in respect of the mark ‘YATEKOMO’ in order that all of the documents produced in the proceedings may be analysed;










—


order EUIPO to pay the costs pursuant to Article 134 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court.





Pleas in law
