Vedtaget af Kommissionen den 2. marts.
Adopted on 2 March.
Kommissionen konkluderer i meddelelsen, at det af hovedsageligt økonomiske grunde ikke på nuværende tidspunkt er ønskeligt for Fællesskabet at indføre beskatning af flybrændstof udelukkende til flyvninger inden for Fællesskabet, der foretages af Fællesskabets flyselskaber.
In its communication the Commission concludes that, principally for 'eco­nomic' reasons, it would not be practicable or de­sirable for the Community as a whole to introduce taxation of aircraft fuel targeting exclusively in-tra-Community flights operated by Community air carriers at the present time.
Denne konklusion henstår uændret i lyset af andre resultater af under søgelsen, der viser, at miljøvirkningerne af et så dant ensidigt tiltag ville være betydeligt mindre.
This conclusion re­mains unchanged in the light of the other results set out in the communication, which show that the environmental effects of such unilateral action would be significantly less.
På den anden side bekræfter undersøgelsen ligeledes, at fordelene for miljøet ville være betydeligt større, hvis der indførtes beskatning af den flybenzin, der anvendes til alle flyvninger fra Fællesskabets lufthavne.
On the other hand, the communication equally confirms that there would be significantly higher environmental benefits from the introduction of kerosene taxation target­ing all operations from Community airports.
I så fald kunne medlemsstaterne desuden nedsætte andre skatter og afgifter.
In addition, the significant revenues accruing from such a measure would allow Member States to re­duce other taxes and charges.

Kommissionens beslutning af 21. marts.
Commission decision adopted on 21 March.
Formål: Kommissionen har tilladt, at British Sky Broadcasting Group plc (BSkyB) erhverver kapitalandele i KirchPay tv GmbH & Co. KGaA (KirchPayTV). Denne transaktion gør det muligt for den britiske virksomhed BSkyB, hvis hovedaktivitet er analoge og digitale betalings-tv-tjene- Afgørelse 2000/278/EF om godkendelse af traktaterne vedtaget af Rådet den 16. marts.

Kommissionen har derfor godkendt denne trans aktion.
The Commission has therefore authorised the ac­quisition.
Kommissionen frygtede også, at der ville blive skabt en dominerende stil ling på det nye marked for digitale interaktive tv-tjenester.
The Commission has authorised the acquisition by Unilever France of Amora­Maille, subject to a number of under­takings given by the parties.
Kommissionens beslutning af 7. marts. Formål: Kommissionen har afvist klagen fra Sociedade Independente da Comunicação (SIC) imod Radiotelevisão Portuguesa (RTP).
Commission decision adopted on 7 March.
Klagen fra SIC blev indgivet i 1993.
SIC's complaint was made in 1993.
Med hjemmel i artikel 82 var den baseret på to klagepunkter:
Based on Article 82, it comprised two grievances.
Takket være disse tilsagn har Kommissionen kun net konstatere, at der ikke mere hersker tvivl om transaktionens forenelighed med fællesmarkedet og har besluttet ikke at modsætte sig den.
The parties therefore proposed the sale of several businesses and a number of brands currently held by Unilever. The Commission accordingly de­cided to authorise the operation subject to full compliance with these commitments by the agreed deadline.
Kommissionens beslutning af 21. marts.
Adopted on 14 March.
Formål: godkendelse af, at Asahi Glass Company (AGC), Mitsubishi Corporation (Mitsubishi) og Mitni SpA, datterselskab af Mitsubishi, i fælles skab overtager F2 Chemicals Limited (F2), datterselskab af British Nuclear Fuels pic.
The Commission has authorised the planned merger of the alumin­ium producers Alean and Alusuisse, subject to the parties' complying with undertakings they have given.
RTP brød sine forpligtelser i henhold til udbudsbetingelserne, der til gengæld for, at det kom til at råde over to sendekanaler, pålagde det ikke at have nogen kommerciel interesse på denne anden kanal.
RTP allegedly failed to fulfil its contractual obliga­tions, which stipulate that, in return for the use of two channels, the company must have no commer­cial interest in the second channel.
SIC finder, at begge kanaler har en kom merciel udsendelsesplanlægning.
SIC considers that both channels contain commercial program­ming.
Kommissionen har besluttet at afvise klagen af følgende grunde.
The Commission has decided to reject the complaint for the following reasons.
Opkøb af et antal programmer, der overstiger be hovet, udgør ikke i sig selv et misbrug.
The acquisition of more programmes than required does not in itself constitute an abuse; it gives channels necessary flex­ibility.
Det gør det muligt for kanalerne at have den nødvendige fleksibilitet. Det ville være nødvendigt at bevise, at det var gjort forsætligt med henblik på at for mene SIC adgang til attraktive programmer.
SIC would have to prove an intention to de­prive it of attractive programmes.
I be tragtning af SIC's kommercielle succes virker det ikke, som om det har lidt under en mangel på ad gang til attraktive programmer.
Given the com­mercial success of SIC, it does not appear that it has suffered from a lack of attractive programmes.
Det er ikke påvist i forhold til formuleringen af udbudsbetingelserne, at RTP har brudt sine forpligtelser.
It has not been established, on the basis of the wording of its contract, that RTP has failed to meet its obliga­tions.
Hvis RTP ved indgivelsen af klagen havde en dominerende stilling, så er dette ikke mere tilfældet i dag, hvor SIC sidder på 50 % af seerne og 55 % af reklameindtægterne. klameindtægterne.
Although, at the time the complaint was made, RTP was in a dominant position, this is no longer the case today as SIC enjoys 50 % of the viewing fig­ures and 55 % of advertising revenue.

Commission decisions under the merger Control regulation
Mitsubishi er et alsidigt erhvervsdrivende selskab med en meget omfattende række aktiviteter. Miteni fremstiller fortrinsvis fluorholdige halvfabrikata.
Following an in­depth investigation, the Commis­sion concluded that the operation, as initially no­tified, would create dominant positions in a number of markets, in particular for alumina tri­hydrate ( ΑΤΗ), lithographic sheet, where a du­opolistic dominant position would have emerged, and semi­rigid aluminium containers (a packag­ing material).
F2 producerer i alt væsentligt perfluorerede carbonhydrider (som er en del af en kategori af produkter, der i almindelighed kaldes uvirksomme væsker).
Moreover, the merger, which will create one of the largest aluminium producers in the European Union, will mean that the merged firm and one of its competitors, VAW, will share
Dette selskab fremstiller desuden fluorholdige blandinger ved at anvende en patenteret teknik til direkte selektiv fluorering, som stadig er under udvikling.

Kommissionens beslutning af 8. marts.
Adopted on 20 March.
Formål: godkendelse af Unilever Frances overtagelse af Amora-Maille under forbehold af parter nes overholdelse af de givne tilsagn.
The Commission has authorised the acquisition of joint control of HEW by Vattenfall and the Land of Hamburg.
For at fjerne enhver risiko for skabelse af en do minerende stilling på de førnævnte markeder har parterne afgivet følgende tilsagn til Kommissionen: De vil overdrage Alusuisse's aluminiumshydratfabrik i Tyskland, Alusuisses Star-valseværk i Det Forenede Kongerige samt maskiner (såvel som lagdelingsteknologi, kundekontrakter og ud styr forbundet med kontrakterne) til brug for produktion af halvstive aluminiumsbeholdere, hvilket svarer til den aktivitetsoverlapning, som transaktionen fører til.
To remove any risk of creating a dominant posi­tion in the above markets, the parties have pro­posed the following commitments: the sale of the ΑΤΗ plant operated by Alusuisse in Germany, the sale of the Star mill operated by Alusuisse in the United Kingdom and the sale of machinery (as well as lamination technology, customer contracts and contract­related equipment) that produces semi­rigid aluminium containers; these represent the overlaps to which the merger will give rise.
Disse tilsagn er blevet fundet tilstrækkelige til at undgå skabelsen af en dominerende stilling på de pågældende markeder, og Kommissionen har der for godkendt transaktionen.
Through this operation, Vattenfall AB (Sweden) and the Land of Hamburg will acquire joint control of the German electricity generator Ham­burgische Electrizitäts­Werke AG (HEW).
Virksomhederne er begge aktive inden for sektoren for saucer og krydderier samt spiseolier.
These commitments have been judged sufficient to avoid the creation of a dominant position in the relevant markets and the Commission has there­fore authorised the merger.
Efter at have undersøgt sagen nåede Kommissionen til den konklusion, at transaktionen, der ville gøre Unilever-koncernen til nummer et i omsætningsmæssig henseende i sektoren for saucer og krydderier i Frankrig, rejste alvorlig tvivl om markedet for mayonnaise, andre kolde saucer og salatsaucer i dette land.
Since the operation will lead to only insignificant overlaps in the electricity sector and since com­petitors such as RWE and VEBA are in signifi­cantly stronger positions on the German electric­ity market, there are no competition concerns.
Kommissionen nåede til samme konklusion, for så vidt angår markederne for sennep i Belgien, Det Forenede Kongerige og Sverige.
The Commission has therefore decided to author­ise it.
Formål: nedlæggelse af forbud mod Volvos over tagelse af hovedkonkurrenten Scania.
The Commission has prohibited Volvo's acquisition of its main competitor, Scania.
Begge virksomheder er svenske producenter af lastbiler, busser og rutebiler.
Both companies are Swedish manufacturers of trucks, buses and coaches.
Kommissionens beslutning af 14. marts.
Adopted on 21 March.
Formål: tilladelse til den planlagte fusion mellem aluminiumsproducenterne Alean og Alusuisse under forbehold af parternes overholdelse af de givne tilsagn.
Under the planned merger, Novartis and Astra­Zeneca will spin off and merge their activities in the area of crop protection into a newly incorpo­rated company, Syngenta AG.
Denne beslutning følger en tilbundsgående un dersøgelse af markederne for tunge lastbiler, by busser, rutebiler og turistbusser.
The decision follows a detailed study of the mar­kets in heavy goods vehicles, city buses, inter­city buses and touring coaches.
Kommissionens undersøgelse af markedet har bekræftet, at Volvo og Scania har været i kraftig konkurrence.
The Commission's market investigation confirmed that Volvo and Scania are in very close competition.
De har anlagt samme strategier, og deres produkter nyder samme image, der bygger på fremragende kvalitet og pålidelig eftersalgsservice.
They have pursued similar strategies and have a similar brand image based on excellent product quality and reliable after­sales service.
Undersøgelsen har ligeledes vist, at der fandtes betydelige hindringer for adgang til eller ekspansion på disse markeder.
The investigation also showed that the barriers to entry or expansion in these markets are high.
Enhver konkurrent med et ønske om at udfordre den nye enhed ville være nødsaget til at foretage
Any competitor wish­ing to challenge the merged entity would have to make large investments over a significant period of time to build up the necessary critical mass of vehicles in the relevant market.
Efter at have foretaget en tilbundsgående under søgelse har Kommissionen konkluderet, at trans
The Commission found that the merger raised se­rious competition concerns in a number of mar­kets, in particular that of fungicides for the protec­tion of' cereal crops and sugar beets and that of herbicides for the protection of maize.
Kommissionen har konstateret, at transaktionen rejser alvorlige konkurrencemæssige problemer på en række markeder og navnlig på markedet for svampebekæmpelsesmidler til beskyttelse af korn og sukkerroer og markedet for ukrudtsbekæmpelsesmidler til beskyttelse af majs.
The concentration will therefore not give rise to any concerns with regard to its impact on compe­tition, and the Commission has accordingly au­thorised it.
Kommissionens beslutning af 20. marts.
Adopted on 24 March.
Formål: tilladelse til Vattenfalls og delstaten Hamburgs fælles overtagelse af kontrollen med Hew.
The Commission has decided to refer investigation of the acquisi­tion of Pioneer by Hanson back to the United Kingdom competition authorities.
Ved denne transaktion erhverver Vattenfall AB (Sverige) og delstaten Hamburg i fællesskab kontrol med den tyske elektricitetsproducent, Ham burgische Electricitäts-Werke AG (Hew).
The Commission found that the operation, as ini­tially notified, would have created or strength­ened dominant positions on the markets for me­chanical wheels for satellites in western Europe and military telecommunications satellites.
Formål: tilladelse til at oprette et joint venture-selskab kaldet Astrium mellem den tyske virksomhed DaimlerChrysler Aerospace AG (Dasa) og den nederlandske virksomhed Matra Marconi Space NV (MMS) under forbehold af parternes overholdelse af de givne tilsagn.
The Commission has agreed to referral back to the United Kingdom authorities, mainly because of their wider knowledge of those local markets.
Eftersom transaktionen kun vil give anledning til ubetydelige aktivitetsoverlapninger, navnlig in den for elektricitetssektoren, og eftersom konkurrenter såsom RWE og Veba sidder på en meget større andel af det tyske elektricitetsmarked, rejser transaktionen ikke nogen konkurrencemæssige problemer.
To eliminate these concerns, the parties have un­dertaken to sell off MMS's mechanical wheels business and to grant licences for the manufacture and sale of equipment products (chemical propul­sion systems, chemical thrusters and on-board management systems) supplied by DASA to Alcatel.
Kommissionen har derfor besluttet at tillade den.
Space Industries, MMS's main competi­tor in the market for military telecommunications satellites in France.
Det vil navnlig komme til at indtage en førende stilling i Europa for levering af videnskabs- og observationssatellitter, ruminfrastrukturer og visse udstyrskategorier.
Adopted on 27 March. The Commission has authorised BT to acquire Esat, an Irish tele­communications operator, subject to a number of undertakings given by the parties.
Kommissionens beslutning af 21. marts.
Adopted on 23 March.
Formål: indledning af proceduren i medfør af ar tikel 6, stk. 1, litra c), i forordningen om kontrol med fusioner og virksomhedsovertagelser.
Through this takeover, the French company Saint-Gobain, which is active in the production, sale and distribution of glass, high-performance materials and building materials, acquires exclu­sive control of Meyer, a British builders' mer­chant group.
Kom missionen har besluttet at indlede en tilbundsgående undersøgelse af fusionen mellem Novartis og AstraZeneca inden for plantebeskyttelsessektoren.
In response to the competition concerns identified by the Commission, BT gave certain undertak­ings aimed at loosening or breaking some distri­bution agreements with global service providers in Ireland.
I forbindelse med den planlagte fusion vil Novartis og AstraZeneca flytte og omlægge deres aktiviteter inden for plantebeskyttelsessektoren til et nyt lovligt stiftet selskab, Syngenta AG.
The distribution activities of the two companies are focused largely on different products and cli­ents and their activities overlap only with regard to pipes and municipal castings in the United Kingdom.
For at løse disse problemer har parterne afgivet tilsagn om at overdrage MMS's »mekaniske hjul«-aktivitet og give licenser til fremstilling og salg af udstyr (nemlig kemiske fremdrivningssystemer, kemiske fremdrivningsmidler og styringssystemer ombord), som DASA leverer til Alcatel Space Industries, der er MMS' hovedkonkurrent på det franske marked for militære kom munikationssatellitter.
The Commission takes the view that these under­takings will open up the Irish distribution market to competition, preventing the emergence or strengthening of a dominant distributor.
Fusionen rejser således ingen problemer for så vidt angår dens indvirkning på konkurrencen, og Kommissionen har derfor tilladt den.
The Commission's investigation showed that the operation raised competition concerns in the Swedish market for immediate-release narcotic analgesics.
Kommissionens beslutning af 29. marts.
Adopted on 29 March.
Formål: tilladelse til oprettelse af et joint venture-selskab mellem den nederlandske virksomhed Shell Petroleum NV og den tyske virksomhed BASF Aktiengesellschaft under forbehold af parternes overholdelse af de givne tilsagn.
The Commission has authorised the joint venture between the Dutch company Shell Petroleum NV and the Ger­man company BASF Aktiengesellschaft, subject to a number of undertakings given by the parties.
Joint venture-selskabet vil samle alle Shells og BASF's kapitalinteresser på verdensplan inden for polypropylen- og polyætylenområdet.
The joint venture will combine all of Shell's and BASF's worldwide polypropylene and polyethyl­ene interests.
Kommissionens beslutning af 24. marts.
Decisions to raise no objection
Kommissionen fandt, at fusionen i den oprindeligt anmeldte form ville have kunnet skabe eller styrke en dominerende stilling på flere polypropylenmarkeder, der er vertikalt forbundet (tildeling af teknologilicencer i forbindelse med PP, PP-harpiks og PP-forbindelser).
The Commission found that the operation, as origi­nally notified, could have led to the creation or strengthening of a dominant position in a number of vertically related markets for polypropylenes (li­censing of PP technology packages, PP resins and PP compounds).
Transaktionen bestod af en sammenlægning af de to største aktører på disse markeder og ville på de fleste markeder kunne have ført til markedsandele, der var to til tre gange større end deres hovedkonkurrenters.
The operation involves the merger of the two most important players in these markets and would, in most cases, have resulted in combined market shares two to three times higher than those of their main competitors.
Kommissionen har godkendt henvisningen til de britiske myndigheder, navnlig som følge af deres mere indgående kendskab til disse lokale markeder. der.
In order to eliminate the concerns identified by the Commission, the parties will sell off plants with a production capacity of at least 600 000 tonnes for PP resins and at least 130 000 tonnes for PP com­pounds.
For at løse de problemer, som Kommissionen havde givet udtryk for, vil parterne overdrage fabrikker med en produktionskapacitet på mindst 600 kT polypropylenharpiks og mindst 130 kT polypropylenforbindelser.
& Upjohn Adopted on I March. The Commission has de­cided to raise no objection to the injection of pub­lic money amounting to EUR 10.4 million into Parco Navi SpA for the development of a marine science and leisure park in Emilia-Romagna, on the Adriatic coast.
