Must Article 3 of Directive 2011/95/EU (2) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 2011 on standards for the qualification of third-country nationals or stateless persons as beneficiaries of international protection, for a uniform status for refugees or for persons eligible for subsidiary protection, and for the content of the protection granted (recast) be interpreted as meaning that the legislation of a Member State permitting the granting of subsidiary protection to an applicant seeking international protection may be considered a more favourable standard for determining the persons eligible for subsidiary protection, as defined in that provision, including in the case of a real threat of a type of serious harm that is not recognised by Article 15 of the Directive, which consists in the fact that the departure from the Member State of the applicant seeking international protection would be contrary to the international obligations of that Member State, provided that that infringement of the Member State’s international obligations relates to the situation in the country of origin of the applicant seeking international protection?

This notification concerns the following undertakings:






—


Private individual Pavao Vujnovac (Croatia),

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






—


Pavao Vujnovac holds controlling interests in companies active in the wholesale of fresh fruits and vegetables, non-perishable fruit and vegetables products and non-food products, import and supply of natural gas, production and supply of electricity, rail transport and real estate in Croatia and Slovenia as well as various non-EU countries in the Balkans.










—


Fortenova Group is active in agriculture, food production and supply of daily consumer goods in Croatia and Slovenia and various non-EU countries in the Balkans.






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.
