Kommissionen har godkendt flere ordninger i overensstemmelse med Fællesskabets rammebestemmelser for støtte til små og mel lemstore virksomheder (SMV), i de fleste til fælde ved hjælp af den fremskyndede procedure, som er indeholdt i disse rammebestemmelser.
Most of the aid measures examined by the Commission under the existing guidelines were approved, including substantial aid for Glaxo (United Kingdom) in connection with the setting-up of a vaccine research institute and aid for SGS Thompson Microelectronics (France) in the semiconductor field.
I Tysklands og Frankrigs tilfælde er der hovedsagelig godkendt støtte til rådgivning.
However, the Commission initiated proceedings in respect of that part of a repayable advance by the Spanish State to
For Danmarks vedkommende er der godkendt planer om støtte til forskerparker og til fordel for risikokapitalen i innovative SMV.
At the same time, market liberalization requires a more stringent policy towards State aid granted to financially troubled air lines.
Endelig har Kommissionen ligeledes tilladt støtte til oprettelse af en støttefond til fordel for kriseramte SMV i delstaten Thüringen.
The Commission responded to this requirement by adopting new guidelines for the application of the State aid rules in the aviation sector, and by making the approval of aid packages to such carriers as Aer Lingus, Air France, TAP and Olympic Airways subject to a number of strict conditions.

ringsimpulsen introduceret i programmet for realiseringen af det indre marked begyndt at have vidtrækkende effekt.
During the year the Commission registered 594 new cases, including 510 notifications of new aid or changes to existing aid measures, 68 cases of unnotified aid and 16 reexaminations of existing aid.
Således inden for lufttransport har tre på hinanden følgende liberaliseringspakker etableret det indre marked for lufttransport pr. 1. januar 1993.
In 440 cases, it was decided not to raise any objections; in 40 cases it was decided to initiate proceedings under Article 93(2) of the EC Treaty or Article 6(4) of Decision 3855/91/ECSC.
I dette liberaliserede miljø bliver den effektive håndhævelse af konkurrenceregler ne endnu mere væsentlig.
This led to the adoption of 15 positive final decisions, three negative final decisions and two conditional final decisions.
Det omfatter såvel håndhævelsen af forbuddet mod dominerende selskabers urimelige købs- eller salgspri
The Commission decided to propose appropriate measures pursuant to Article 93(1) of the EC Treaty in respect of 10 existing aid measures.
På samme tid kræver liberaliseringen af markedet en strengere statsstøttepolitk over for flyselskaber i økonomiske vanskeligheder.
The high number of cases dealt with in the case of Germany (206) and, to a lesser extent, Spain (88) is due mainly to the decentralized administration of aid in those Member States (table 2).

Kommissionen oplevede i 1994 en kraftig stigning i antallet af anmeldelser efter fusionsforordningen.
A large increase in the number of cases notified to the Commission under the Merger Regulation took place in 1994.
Antallet af anmeldte sager steg således fra 58 i 1993 til 95 i 1994, hvilket er en stigning på 64 %.
Notifications rose from 58 in 1993 to 95 in 1994 - an increase of 64%.
I 1994 oprandt femårsdagen for fusionsforordningens vedtagelse.
There were six decisions to start in-depth investigations in 1994 com pared with four in 1993.
Fusionsforordningen blev vedtaget af Rådet i 1989 med det for mål at henlægge kompetencen til at behandle vigtige fusioner til én instans - nemlig Kommissionen - og dermed sikre en effektiv kontrol med de fusioner, virksomhedsovertagelser og joint ventures, der kan få betydelige virkninger i mere end én med lemsstat.
Included in 1994 were the fifth anniversary of the adoption of the Merger Regulation and the completion of the fourth year of its operation. The Merger Regulation was adopted by the Council in 1989 with the objective of ensuring a single One-stop-shop', and efficient control of important mergers, acquisitions, and certain joint ventures that are likely to have effects in more than one Member State.
I denne forordning blev der indført to undersøgelsesfaser.
The Regulation provides for two stages of investigation.
En første undersøgelse af en måneds varighed finder sted med henblik på at vurdere, hvorvidt en anmeldt fusion giver anledning til alvorlig tvivl om dens forenelighed med fællesmarkedet.
A onemonth initial investigation takes place to assess whether a notified operation raises serious doubts as to its compatibility with the common market.
Gør den ikke det, godkendes den ved udløbet af denne enmånedsfrist.
If it does not raise such doubts, it is cleared at the end of this initial period.
Hvis fusionen derimod giver anledning til alvorlig tvivl, indledes anden fase, hvor der i løbet af højst fire måneder gennemføres en tilbundsgående undersøgelse.
If, on the other hand, serious doubts exist, an in-depth investigation takes place over a further maximum period of four months.
For begge faser er der fastsat retligt bindende frister for, hvornår Kommissionen skal have truffet sin beslutning.
Both stages are limited in time, with legal deadlines for the Commission's de cision.
Kom missionen tilskynder desuden fusionsparter ne til at kontakte den med förhandsinforma
The Commission encourages notifying parties to provide information ahead of notification so that it can, where possible, reduce the amount of information needed to be supplied.
I årets løb færdigbehandlede Kommissionen fem fusioner, som havde givet anledning til alvorlig tvivl med hensyn til deres forenelig hed med fællesmarkedet.
The proportion of cases which were cleared after one month remained broadly unchanged - 88% of cases compared with 86% in 1993 - despite the considerable increase in cases.
I 1994 blev der i seks tilfælde truffet beslutning om iværksættelse af en tilbundsgående undersøgelse, mod fire tilfælde i 1993.
The number of decisions declaring the operation not to be subject to the Merger Regulation was less than in previous years at 5%. This was probably due to

Til trods for den kraftige stigning i antallet af anmeldte fusioner er situationen stort set uændret med hensyn til, hvor stor en del af dem, der blev godkendt efter enmånedsfasen
The range of sectors covered by the deci­sions was diverse and the Commission con­sidered a number of both industrial and con­sumer product markets during the year.
FUSIONSFORORDNINGEN - 1994 men med, at virksomhederne nu, efter fire år med fusionsforordningen, ved mere om for ordningens Jurisdiktionsregler og om, hvor dan Kommissionen anvender dem.
MERGER REGULATION - 1994 the decisions adopted after the initial onemonth period, 57% were in industrial sectors, 18% in consumer goods and 25% in services.
større antal vanskelige sager blev behandlet, hvor det imidlertid alligevel var muligt at godkende transaktionerne inden for den før ste måned.
Heavy engineering and chemicals (including fibres) generated a significant number of cases, accounting for over a quarter of the total.
Samarbejde med medlemsstaterne
Banking and insurance was another active area.
Der var stor branchemæssig spredning i de sager, Kommissionen har haft til behandling i det forløbne år, hvor den har måttet analysere en række forskellige markeder for såvel industriprodukter som forbrugsvarer.
This is an exception to the 'one-stop-shop' principle under the Regulation but conforms with the principle of subsidiarity where a Member State can clearly show that a mer ger poses a threat to one or more markets within its territory.
57 % af de sager, der blev afgjort efter den indledende enmånedsfase, drejede sig om industrisektorer, 18 % drejede sig om forbrugssektoren, og 25 % drejede sig om service sektoren. Mere end en fjerdedel af alle sager drejede sig om sværindustri eller kemisk industri (herunder også fibre), medens bankog forsikringssektoren også var repræsenteret i flere sager.
This situation arose in the Holdercini/Cedest case in 1994 where the Commission agreed to a request from the French authorities to refer part of the transaction which involved ready-mixed concrete and would result in large market shares in several local geographic markets all within France. By contrast, the Commission did not refer the MSG Media Service case to the German authorities, deciding instead to carry out an in-depth investigation of the case itself on the basis that the effects of this transaction would inevitably extend beyond Germany.
I henhold til fusionsforordningen kan en medlemsstat anmode Kommissionen om at få henvist en anmeldt fusion, hvor så sagen behandles i henhold til de nationale fusions regler.
For the first time, the Commission declared two notifications incomplete until further information had been supplied by the notifying parties.
Der er her tale om en undtagelse fra princippet om Kommissionens enekompetence til at behandle fusioner omfattet af fusionsforordningen, men den stemmer overens med subsidiaritetsprincippet og til godeser de tilfælde, hvor en medlemsstat kan godtgøre, at en fusion udgør en trussel for et eller flere markeder i det pågældende land.
In three cases clearance deci sions were adopted without the need for an in-depth investigation only after the parties undertook to modify their operation to resolve competition problems identified by the Commission.
Den situation opstod i år i Holdercim/-Cedest, hvor Kommissionen efterkom en anmodning fra de franske myndigheder om at henvise en del af denne sag til dem. Der var tale om en fusion på markedet for færdigblandet cement, der ville resultere i meget store markedsandele på flere lokale geografiske markeder i Frankrig.
In two of these cases (Unilever/Ortiz Miko and Tractebel/Distrigaz) the parties abandoned the original operation and withdrew their notification.
Derimod henviste Kommissionen ikke MSG Media Service-sagen til de tyske myndigheder, men besluttede selv at foretage en tilbundsgående undersøgelse, da denne fusion ikke kunne undgå at få virkninger, der strakte sig ud over Tysklands grænser.
Furthermore, in two cases {Unilever/Ortiz Miko and Elf Atochem/Riitgers), the Com mission accepted undertakings from the parties in order to remove any competition problems.
For første gang erklærede Kommissionen to anmeldelser for ufuldstændige, indtil de anmeldende parter havde fremsendt yderligere oplysninger.
In addition, while the Merger Regulation gives the Commission sole jurisdiction over mergers which fall under the Merger Regulation, it allows Member States to act separately to protect other legitimate interests.
I tre sager blev fusionen uden en tilbundsgående undersøgelse først godkendt, efter at parterne havde ændret fusionsplanen for at løse de konkurrenceproblemer, som Kommissionen havde påpeget.
These legitimate interests include freedom of the press. This provision was applied in the Newspaper publishing case where Italian, Spanish and UK groups jointly bid to acquire control over the publishers of the Independent, a UK daily newspaper.
I to af disse sager (Unilever/Ortiz Miko og Tractebel/Distrigaz) opgav parterne den oprindelige plan og trak deres anmeldelse tilbage.
The Commission assessed the competition aspects of the operation and approved it.
I begge tilfælde blev der indgivet en ny anmeldelse af en ændret fusionsplan, som derefter blev godkendt af Kommissionen.
The UK authorities also examined it under the terms of the national newspaper merger legislation to protect the accurate presentation of news and the free expression of opinions.
I to tilfælde {Unilever/Ortiz Miko og ElfAto-chem/Rütgers) godkendte Kommissionen endvidere parternes tilsagn om at fjerne de konkurrencemæssigt problematiske punkter.
The number of cases where the suspension period was extended was much higher than in previous years, reflecting the fact that a number of difficult cases were treated where it was none the less possible to approve the operation during the first month.
Når en fusion er blevet anmeldt efter fusionsforordningen, skal dens gennemførelse stilles i bero i hvert fald i de første tre uger efter anmeldelsen, undertiden i længere tid, således at Kommissionen ikke behøver at beordre en fusion opløst igen, såfremt den beslutter at nedlægge forbud mod den.
Article 223 of the Treaty of Rome permits Member States to take measures to protect their essential security interests. This provision had been invoked in the past in the context of the Merger Regulation, and the Com mission has accepted on one occasion that an operation which concerned only military products need not be notified.
I 1994 blev den periode, hvor gennemførelsen skulle stilles i bero, forlænget i langt flere sager end tidligere, hvilket afspejler, at et

Aerospace and GEC. VSEL's activities included a residual amount of manufacturing of oil and gas equipment by a subsidiary company.
Ugine - havde en markedsandel på 15-25 %, og der fandtes desuden fem andre producenter med markedsandele på mellem 5 % og 20 %.
The acquisition of these activities was assessed by the Commission.
I betragtning af faldende priser og overkapacitet på dette marked blev det antaget, at fusionen hverken ville resultere i enedominans eller oligopolistisk dominans.
The military aspects of the bids were not notified under the Merger Regulation and were assessed by the United Kingdom authorities under the Fair Trading Act.
På de andre berørte markeder ville fusionen ikke give anledning til konkurrenceproblemer, og den blev derfor godkendt.
The Monopolies and Mergers Commission subsequently car ried out an in-depth investigation into both bids.
Traktatens artikel 223 giver medlemsstater ne mulighed for at træffe foranstaltninger til at tilgodese væsentlige sikkerhedshensyn.
Decisions following in-depth investigations bined market share of about 35% as did its principal competitor Sandvik.
Denne bestemmelse var tidligere blevet påberåbt i relation til fusionsforordningen, og Kommissionen havde i ét tilfælde accepteret, at en fusion, der udelukkende omhandlede militærudstyr, ikke behøvede at blive anmeldt.
There were two other smaller competitors in the West European market.
I år blev Kommissionen for første gang stillet over for en fusion med såvel militære som civile aspekter, da VSEL, der bygger krigsskibe og u-både i Det Forenede Kongerige, blev søgt overtaget af såvel British Aerospace som GEC.
The Commission investigated whether the operation would create a position of oligopolistic dominance either on its own or with Sandvik.
Blandt VSEL's aktiviteter indgik også en mindre produktion af olie- og gasudstyr i et datterselskab, og det var overtagelsen af disse aktiviteter, Kommissionen skulle tage stilling til.
Following the investigation, it was concluded that though these market shares could have led to a joint dominant position the presence of Japanese suppliers already in existence and the emergence of East European producers who were developing the capability to supply products of comparable quality to compete with those in Western Europe would prevent this.
De militære aspekter af disse overtagelsestilbud blev ikke anmeldt efter fusionsforordningen, men behandlet af de britiske myndigheder inden for rammerne af den britiske Fair Trading Act, hvorefter Monopolies and Mergers Commission foretog en tilbundsgående undersøgelse af begge tilbud.
Consequently, the operation was authorized without conditions.
Beslutninger truffet efter tilbundsgående undersøgelser
This privatization had been the subject of a State aid deci sion which required the privatization to be completed by the end of 1994.
I denne sag var der tale om en fusion inden for sømløse rør af rustfrit stål mellem Mannesmann, Ilva og Usinor, som ville lægge deres aktiviteter på dette område sammen i et joint venture. Dette joint venture (DMV) ville få en markedsandel på ca. 35 %, hvilket var det samme som den største konkurrent, Sandvik.
The product market was the production of stainless steel flat products and electric sheet and the geographic market was Western Europe.
Desuden fandtes der to andre, mindre konkurrenter på det vesteuropæiske marked. Kommissionen undersøgte, om denne fusion ville føre til, at det nye joint venture enten alene eller sammen med Sandvik ville komme til at besidde en dominerende stilling.
The next largest com petitor, Ugine, had a market share between 15 and 25% and there were five other com petitors with market shares between 5 and 20%.
Denne fusion blev derfor godkendt uden betingelser.
The other markets concerned did not raise any competition concerns and the operation was approved.
Denne sag drejede sig om afhændelse af selskabet AST som led i en privatisering af den statslige italienske holdingkoncern Ilva. Ifølge en kommissionsbeslutning truffet angående statsstøtte hertil skulle denne privatisering være tilendebragt inden udgangen af 1994.
MERGER REGULATION - 1994 sion's view, the extensive media activities of Kirch/Bertelsmann and those of Deutsche Telekom, as the owner of most of the cable network in Germany, made each of these parties the most likely individual entrants into this market.
Køberen af AST var et tysk/italiensk konsortium, der på tysk side bestod af Krupp og Thyssen og på italiensk side af Falck og Tadfin.
In addition, through the joint venture, Kirch and Bertelsmann could control competition on the pay-television market in Germany, while Deutsche Telekom would be in a position to reinforce its dominance on the cable net work market.
Det relevante produktmarked var markedet for rustfrie stålplader og elektroplader, og det geografiske marked var Vesteuropa.
The Commission thus prohibited the establishment of this joint venture under the Merger Regulation to ensure, in particular, that future markets in the multimedia sector would remain open to competition.
Krupp og Thyssen havde allerede fusioneret deres aktiviteter inden for rustfrit stål og ville efter overtagelsen af AST tilsammen få en markedsandel inden for rustfrie stålplader på 35-45 %. Den næststørste producent -
This is the first time that the Commission has assessed an operation in a market concerning an entirely new product, which therefore required the Commission to pay particular attention to any potential foreclosure effects of the operation in question.
Procter & Gamble (P & G)/Schickedanz (VPS). I denne sag, der drejede sig om P & G's planer om at overtage det tyske selskab VPS (der fremstiller forskellige typer papirartikler), måtte Kommissionen foretage detaljerede analyser af markedet for hygiejneartikler til kvinder i EU, på baggrund af hvilke den konkluderede, at hygiejnebind og hygiejnetamponer udgør to forskellige produktmarkeder, og at det geografiske marked er af nationalt tilsnit. Denne markedsafgrænsning førte til den konklusion, at kom binationen af P & G's Always-bind og VPS' Page 45
Increased transparency and efficiency in implementing the Merger Regulation interests in polyolefins, a family of thermoplastics including polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). After investigation, the Commission concluded that the joint venture raised serious competition concerns which centred, in particular, on the market for the development and licensing of PP technology.
FUSIONSFORORDNINGEN - 1994 havde peget på på markedet for produktion og salg af PP Som følge heraf blev denne fusion endelig godkendt af Kommissionen.
This was, in fact, the first time under the Merger Regulation that a separate market for technology was defined by the Commission.
De amerikanske konkurrencemyndigheder havde samtidig også fået sagen til behandling og ventes at træffe en afgørelse svarende til Kommissionens.
The Commission's prime concern stemmed from the fact that following the operation Shell would have ultimate control over the two main and currently competing PP technologies worldwide, namely, 'Unipol', owned by a subsidiary of Shell in partnership with Union Carbide Corporation, and 'Spheripol', owned by Montedison.
Camelia-bina ville have givet P & G en dominerende stilling på det tyske og det spanske marked for hygiejnebind.
To resolve this issue, the parties agreed to transfer Montedison's Spheripol technology business to a separate company in which Shell had no influence and which would therefore remain in competition with Unipol.
På et sent stadium i sagsbehandlingen tilbød P & G imidlertid at skille sig af med alle aktiviteterne under Cornelia-mærket ret hurtigt efter overtagelsen af VPS.
They also volunteered that Montedison would withdraw from a PP joint venture, which alleviated other concerns raised by the Com mission in relation to the market for the production and sale of PP itself.
På baggrund af disse tilsagn kunne Kommissionen i sidste instans godkende hele transaktionen.
The United States antitrust authorities have also had concurrent jurisdiction over this case and have proposed clearing it on a similar basis to the Commission.
I overensstemmelse med de tilsagn, der var blevet givet Kommissionen, blev Came//a-aktiviteterne kort tid efter Kommissionens godkendelse solgt til Kimberly-Clark.
These measures follow on from the Commission's 1993 report to the Council on the implementation of the Merger Regulation in which the Com mission undertook a number of commitments before any formal revision of this Regulation.
Efter en gennemgang af sagen fastslog Kommissionen, at dette joint venture gav anledning til alvorlige betænkeligheder, specielt på markedet for udvikling af og meddelelse af licens på PP-teknologi. Det var første gang siden fusionsforordningens ikrafttrædelse, at Kommissionen havde påvist et særskilt marked for teknologi.
The essential purpose of the MSG joint venture was to develop the future market for decoders and administrative and technical services for pay-television operators in Germany, in particular for Premiere - the only current pay-television channel in Germany - owned by Kirch and Ber telsmann with Canal Plus.
Efter Kommissionens opfattelse bevirkede Kirch/Bertelsmanns vidtspændende aktiviteter i mediesektoren og Deutsche Telekoms position som ejer af størstedelen af det tyske kabelnet, at netop disse parter ville være de mest sandsynlige nye konkurrenter på dette marked.
A major change for companies is the introduction of a short-form notification option available for notifiable joint ventures whose turnover and/or assets are below ECU 100 million. This option is included in a new
Øget gennemsigtighed og effektivitet i anvendelsen af fusionsforordningen betydeligt i takt med udviklingen i dens beslutningspraksis siden fusionsforordningens ikrafttrædelse, og den meddelelse, den udsendte i 1990, giver ikke længere noget korrekt billede.
the notion of a concentration, the notion of undertakings concerned and calculation of turnover) essentially confirms the practice developed by the Commission over the last four years both in the formal decisions adopted under the Merger Regulation and in the confidential guidance given in prenotification discussions.
