Operative part of the judgment

Article 2(2)(a) of Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27 November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation
must be interpreted as meaning that an internal rule of a municipal authority prohibiting, in a general and indiscriminate manner, the members of that authority’s staff from visibly wearing in the workplace any sign revealing, in particular, philosophical or religious beliefs may be justified by the desire of the said authority to establish, having regard to the context in which it operates, an entirely neutral administrative environment provided that that rule is appropriate, necessary and proportionate in the light of that context and taking into account the various rights and interests at stake.

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.11330 – ENGIE / EFS / IDESAMGAR)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(C/2023/1265)


1.   
On 20 November 2023, 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:






—


ENGIE Energy Services International, S.A. (‘ENGIE’, France),










—


EFS Global Energy B.V. (‘EFS’, Netherlands) a subsidiary of General Electric Company (‘GE’, USA),










—


Idesamgar SL (‘Idesamgar’, Spain), controlled by Cierzo Spain Wind, S.L.U. (‘Mirova’, Spain) and GE (USA).




ENGIE and EFS will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of Idesamgar.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are the following:






—


ENGIE is a global group active in low-carbon energy, gas and services,










—


EFS is part of GE which is a global, diversified manufacturing, technology and services company,










—


Idesamgar is active in the area of wind farms in Spain.






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 treatment for certain concentrations under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 on the control of concentrations between undertakings (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:
