Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.10019 — AP1/AP3/AP4/Telia Carrier Entities)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2020/C 395/05)

1.   
On 12 November 2020, 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:






—


Första AP-fonden (‘AP1’, Sweden)










—


Tredje AP-fonden (‘AP3’, Sweden)










—


Fjärde AP-fonden (‘AP4’, Sweden)










—


Telia Carrier entities (Sweden)




AP1, AP3 and AP4 acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of 34 Telia Carriers entities in 34 EU and non-EU jurisdictions.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares by an investment company, Polhem Infra KB, incorporated and jointly controlled by AP1, AP3 and AP4, which will thus indirectly control the Telia Carrier entities.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for AP1, AP3 and AP4: pension funds which act as a buffer in the Swedish national pension system. They are independent governmental authorities taking independent decisions on their investments.










—


for Telia Carriers Entities: ultimately owned by Telia Company AB, they operate a global fiber network (internet backbone), which is used for the provision of international carrier services;






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.


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:
M.10019 — AP1/AP3/AP4/Telia Carrier Entities
Observations can be sent to the Commission by email, by fax, or by post. Please use the contact details below:

New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2020/C 395/03)




National side of the new commemorative 2-euro coin intended for circulation and issued by France

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.

Issuing country: France

Subject of commemoration: Medical Research

Description of the design: The design shows the figuration of the human in union, represented by a face inscribed in a sphere. It faces the infinitely small, represented by fragments of DNA inscribed in a circle. By its oblique axis, this allegory represents the research and its intelligence dominating the infinitely small, studying it and triumphing over the diseases. The indication of the issuing country ‘RF’ is located at the top right while the mintmark and the year of issuance ‘2020’ are located at the bottom left.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Number of coins to be issued: 300 000

Date of issue: October 2020


(1)  See OJ C 373, 28.12.2001, p. 1 for the national faces of all the coins issued in 2002.

(2)  See the conclusions of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council of 10 February 2009 and the Commission Recommendation of 19 December 2008 on common guidelines for the national sides and the issuance of euro coins intended for circulation (OJ L 9, 14.1.2009, p. 52).
