Operative part of the judgment

Article 72 of Directive (EU) 2018/1972 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 establishing the European Electronic Communications Code
must be interpreted as meaning that, where a national regulatory authority examines whether an obligation of access to civil engineering assets is to be imposed – irrespective of whether those assets are part of the relevant market in accordance with the market analysis – on an undertaking designated as having significant market power on a specific market, that authority must examine whether the non-imposition of that obligation would hinder the emergence of a sustainable competitive market and would not be in the end user’s interest. In addition, that authority must also ensure that the obligation is based on the nature of the problem identified in the market analysis and that it is necessary and proportionate, with regard to all the objectives set out, in no order of priority, in Article 3 of that directive.

(Case M.12096 – BPCE / NOVO BANCO)

(C/2025/6340)


1.   
On 12 November 2025, 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:






—


BPCE S.A. (‘BPCE’, France),










—


Novo Banco SA (‘Novo Banco’, Portugal), controlled by Lone Star Global Acquisitions, Ltd. (United States).




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


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






—


BPCE is a French universal cooperative bank that operates in the retail banking and insurance sectors in France, as well as in asset and wealth management, wholesale banking, leasing, and equipment finance worldwide,










—


Novo Banco is a Portuguese universal bank that provides a comprehensive range of banking and financial services to individuals, businesses, and institutional clients. It operates almost exclusively in Portugal.






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 concentration 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:

Operative part of the judgment

The Court:






1.


Declares that, by having failed to ensure that the national measures transposing Directive (EU) 2018/958 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 June 2018 on a proportionality test before adoption of new regulation of professions cover all the types of organisations competent to make provision for and/propose professional regulations, that is, the measures of professional associations and organisations and initiatives of parliaments at national level, including parliamentary amendments, the Hellenic Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 2(1), read in conjunction with Article 4(1), of the directive;










2.


Declares that, by having failed to ensure the ‘periodic’ review of the proportionality of any new or amended provision restricting access to regulated professions or the pursuit thereof following its adoption which would take into due consideration changes in the situation since that provision was adopted, the Hellenic Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 4(6) of the directive;










3.


Orders the Hellenic Republic to bear its own costs and to pay those incurred by the European Commission.
