Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.11712 – WATERLAND / LEBARA)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(C/2024/6125)


1.   
On 23 September 2024, 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:






—


Waterland Private Equity Investments B.V. (‘Waterland’, the Netherlands),










—


Lebara Group B.V. (‘Lebara’, the Netherlands).




Waterland will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of the whole of Lebara.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


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






—


Waterland: independent private equity investment group which controls Nuts Groep B.V. and Enreach Holding B.V., both offering mobile virtual network operator services to consumers and business customers respectively as part of their broader offerings.










—


Lebara: a mobile virtual network operator active in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark, France and Germany.






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.

Questions referred







1.


Is Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 (1) to be interpreted to the effect that the term ‘labelling’ relating to a food also covers written advertising for the food, with the result that the use of a health claim in written advertising means that the information requirements laid down in that provision must be satisfied in the advertising?










2.


Is Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 to be interpreted to the effect that, where health claims are used in food advertising, the information requirements existing under that provision must also be satisfied in the advertising, even if the labelling for the food contains the required information?

Questions referred







1.


Is Article 14(c) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 (1) to be interpreted as meaning that that exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty may be combined with the other exemptions under Article 14(a) and/or (b) of Regulation No 88/97 in the same authorisation for an end use within the meaning of Article 254 of the Union Customs Code?










2.


May Article 14(c) of Regulation No 88/97 be interpreted as meaning that, in the authorisation, fewer than 300 units of a given essential bicycle part per customer may be exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty on a monthly basis?










3.


Does the quantity of fewer than 300 units on a monthly basis referred to in Article 14(c) of Regulation No 88/97 constitute an exemption threshold, with the consequence that the exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty as a whole ceases to apply if a party declares or forwards more than 299 units on a monthly basis, or does it constitute an allowance, in which case 299 units remain exempted in any event, regardless of whether that quantity is exceeded?






(1)  Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 of 20 January 1997 on the authorisation of the exemption of imports of certain bicycle parts originating in the People’s Republic of China from the extension by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 (OJ 1997 L 17, p. 17), amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 512/2013 of 4 June 2013 (OJ 2013 L 152, p. 1).
