Questions referred

Must Article 102 TFEU, whether or not read in conjunction with Article 16 of Directive 2014/26/EU (1) on collective management of copyright and related rights and the multi-territorial licensing of rights in musical works for online use in the internal market, be interpreted as meaning that there is abuse of a dominant position if a copyright management company which has a de facto monopoly in a Member State, applies a remuneration model to organisers of musical events for the right to communicate musical works to the public, based among other things on turnover,

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.9339 — Kennedy Wilson/AXA/JV)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2019/C 158/08)

1.   
On 25 April 2019, 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:






—


Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (‘Kennedy Wilson’, United States of America),

AXA SA (‘AXA’, France).




Kennedy Wilson and AXA acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of three newly created companies (together, the ‘JV’), which will acquire, hold, and manage private rented accommodation and office space in Ireland.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares in the JV.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for Kennedy Wilson: investment in, development, and management of real estate,
—   for AXA: life, health and other forms of insurance, as well as investment management.


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 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 the Notice.
