Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.10021 — Netcompany/Copenhagen Airports/SMARTER AIRPORTS JV)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2020/C 437/09)

1.   
On 11 December 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:






—


Netcompany A/S (‘Netcompany’, Denmark),










—


Københavns Lufthavne A/S (‘Copenhagen Airports’, Denmark), jointly controlled by Arbejdsmarkedets Tillægspension and the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board,










—


SMARTER AIRPORTS A/S (‘SMARTER AIRPORTS’, Denmark).




Netcompany and Copenhagen Airports acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of SMARTER AIRPORTS.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for Netcompany: provision of IT services,










—


for Copenhagen Airports: owning and operating the airports at Kastrup and Roskilde, Denmark,










—


for SMARTER AIRPORTS: provision of a new airport management system to third party airports.






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.

Action brought on 18 December 2020 — Grünig v Commission
(Case T-746/20)
(2021/C 53/71)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: Grünig KG (Bad Kissingen, Germany) (represented by: Y. Melin and B. Vigneron, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul, pursuant to Article 263 TFEU, Article 1(4) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1336 of 25 September 2020 imposing definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of certain polyvinyl alcohols originating in the People’s Republic of China in that the European Commission infringed Article 9(5) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union by imposing an anti-dumping duty in a discriminatory manner by granting an exemption on the basis of the customs procedure of end-use;










—


order the European Commission and any parties intervening in support of the Commission to pay all the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on a single plea in law alleging infringement of Article 9(5) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union (OJ 2016 L 176, p. 21) in that the contested regulation, namely Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1336 of 25 September 2020 imposing definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of certain polyvinyl alcohols originating in the People’s Republic of China (OJ 2020 L 315, p. 1) does not impose an anti-dumping duty on all imports found to be dumped and causing harm.
The applicant considers that the Commission imposed an anti-dumping duty on imports of a product in a discriminatory manner, in breach of Article 9(5) of Regulation 2016/1036 referred to above, in that it provides for an exemption from the anti-dumping duty on the basis of the customs procedure of end-use. Consequently, the provision of Regulation (EU) 2020/1336 is unlawful and should be annulled.
