Symvoulio tis Epikrateias

Parties to the main proceedings


Appellants: Ypourgos Esoterikon, Ypourgos Ethnikis Pedias kai Thriskevmaton

Defendant: Maria-Eleni Kalliri

Operative part of the judgment

The provisions of Council Directive 76/207/EEC of 9 February 1976 on the implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women as regards access to employment, vocational training and promotion, and working conditions, as amended by Directive 2002/73/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 September 2002, must be interpreted as precluding a law of a Member State, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which makes candidates’ admission to the competition for entry to the police school of that Member State subject, whatever their sex, to a requirement that they are of a physical height of at least 1,70 m, since that law works to the disadvantage of a far greater number of women compared with men and that law does not appear to be either appropriate or necessary to achieve the legitimate objective that it pursues, which it is for the national court to determine.

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.8634 — ATP/OTPP/Copenhagen Airports)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2017/C 350/09)






1.


On 10 October 2017, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1).
This notification concerns the following undertakings:






—


Arbejdsmarkedets Tillaegspension (ATP, Denmark),










—


Ontario Teacher’s Pension Plan Board (OTPP, Canada),










—


Copenhagen Airports A/S (CPH, Denmark).




ATP and OTPP acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of CPH.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for ATP: Danish public pension provider which administers a number of welfare and social security schemes,
—   for OTPP: investment management organisation that invests pension plan assets on behalf of active and retired teachers in the Canadian province of Ontario,
—   for CPH: owner and operator of the airports at Kastrup and Roskilde, Denmark, as well as owning the Clarion Copenhagen Airport Hotel.










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 the 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. The following reference should always be specified:
