Against that background, the Commission found that competition between publishers essentially occurred at two levels of the book chain: rst, at the level of access to the ‘raw material’ (i.e. publishing rights), and second, at the level of access to the ‘market’ (i.e. resellers’ shelves).
Sellises olukorras leidis komisjon, et kirjastajad konkureerisid peamiselt kahel raamatute kirjastamise tasandil: esiteks toormaterjalile juurdepääsu tasandil (s.t kirjastusõigused) ja teiseks turulepääsu tasandil (s.t edasimüüjate müügikohad).

II — Merger control dominant positions of the new entity along the whole of the book chain and notably in the more industrialised part of the publishing business: marketing, distribution and pocket format publishing. e new entity would have controlled access both to wellknown authors, whose sales are the lifeblood of publishers, and to sales outlets, which cannot absorb, let alone promote, more than a limited proportion of the works published each year.
Algselt kavandatud tehing oleks asetanud ettevõtte turgu valitsevasse seisundisse või seda seisundit tugevdanud tervel raamatute kirjastamise turul ja märkimisväärselt rohkem kirjastustegevuse tööstuslikemas valdkondades: turustamise, levitamise ja taskuväljaannete kirjastamise valdkonnas. Uus ettevõte oleks kontrollinud juurdepääsu nii tuntud autoritele, kelle raamatute müük on kirjastajatele eluliselt tähtis, kui ka müügikohtadele, mis saavad ainult piiratud koguse igal aastal avaldatud töödest vastu võtta, nende reklaamimisest rääkimata.
On 3 August, the Commission decided to approve the French company Wendel Investissements as the purchaser of all the assets of Editis divested in accordance with the remedies in the clearance decision.
3. augustil otsustas komisjon heakskiitmisotsuse parandusmeetmete kohaselt loovutatud Editis’ varade ostjana heaks kiita Prantsuse äriühingu Wendel Investissements.
It comprises only socalled ‘artist and repertoire’ (A & R) activities, i.e. the discovery and development of performing artists (singers), and the marketing and sale of records.
Ettevõte tegeleb ainult artistide ja repertuaari (A & R), s.t esinejate (lauljate) leidmise ja arendamise ning salvestuste turustamise ja müügiga.
By contrast, SonyBMG will not be active in the manufacturing and the physical distribution (logistics) of records.
SonyBMG ei tegele salvestuste tootmise ega füüsilise levitamisega (logistikaga).
Likewise, Sony and Bertelsmann’s music publishing businesses are not integrated into the joint venture.
Ühisettevõttesse ei kuulu Sony ega Bertelsmanni muusikakirjastused.
Since the creation of the SonyBMG joint venture was notified on 9 January, the Commission assessed the case under the substantial test of Council Regulation (EEC) 4064/89 (132).
Kuna ühisettevõtte SonyBMG asutamisest teatati 9. jaanuaril, uuris komisjon juhtumit sisuliselt nõukogu määruse (EMÜ) nr 4064/89 alusel (132).
Report on competition policy 2004 — Volume 1 for approximately 80 % of the market, both in Europe and worldwide.
Viis muusikatööstuse hiiglast, nimelt Universal, Sony, EMI, Warner ja Bertelsmann (BMG), on esindatud kogu maailmas ja nende ühine turuosa on 80% nii Euroopa turul kui ka maailmaturul.
In the EEA, the rest of the market is composed of a large number of ‘independents’ with mostly national activities and low market shares.
EMP-s on ülejäänud turg jagatud sõltumatute ettevõtjate vahel, kes tegutsevad peamiselt siseriiklikel turgudel ja kelle turuosad on väikesed.
Following the merger, Universal and SonyBMG will both have market shares of approximately 25 %, ahead of EMI and Warner.
Pärast ühinemist jääks Universalile ja SonyBMG-le kummalegi umbes 25% suurune turuosa ning neile järgneksid EMI ja Warner.
According to the CFI, the Commission must prove the likelihood of a common understanding among the companies and the markets must be sufficiently transparent to permit monitoring of respect of the common understanding by the companies involved.
Vastavalt Esimese Astme Kohtu otsusele peab komisjon tõendama, et ettevõtted on turu suhtes ühisel seisukohal, ning turud peavad olema piisavalt läbipaistvad, et oleks võimalik kontrollida, kas asjaomased ettevõtjad austavad ühist seisukohta.
However, these ndings were not sufficient to establish by themselves price coordination. e Commission therefore also analysed the development of the majors’ discounts and found that certain discounts were not fully transparent and were di cult to monitor.
Tõendid ei olnud siiski hindade kooskõlastamise tuvastamiseks piisavad. Seetõttu analüüsis komisjon ka viisiku allahindluspõhimõtteid ja leidis, et allahindlused ei olnud täiesti läbinähtavad ja et neid oli raske kontrollida.
In addition, market transparency was reduced by the largely di erentiated music content, in spite of a certain homogeneity in the format, pricing and marketing of records.
Lisaks vähendas turu läbipaistvust väga erinev muusikaline sisu, vaatamata ühtsele vormile, hinnakujundusele ja salvestuste turustamisele.
On balance, the Commission therefore concluded that there was not sufficiently strong evidence to establish an existing collective dominant position of the ve majors in the markets for recorded music.
Seetõttu jõudis komisjon järeldusele, et puuduvad piisavad tõendid, tuvastamaks, et viis suuremat ettevõtet valitsevad kollektiivselt muusikasalvestiste turgu.
As to the possible creation of a collective dominant position in the markets for recorded music, there was insufficient evidence to prove that the reduction from ve to four majors in itself would alter the market structure substantially enough.
Samuti ei leidnud komisjon piisavaid tõendeid, et kavandatav koondumine tugevdaks või looks kollektiivse turgu valitseva seisundi on-line-muusika litsentsilepingute hulgimüügiturul.
Similarly, the Commission did not nd sufficient evidence that the proposed transaction would strengthen or create a position of collective dominance in the wholesale market for licences for online music. e Commission also looked at the vertical relationships between the joint venture and its parent companies but concluded that the proposed transaction would not lead to a dominant position, either in the retail market for online music distribution where Sony is active or in the recorded music markets in those countries where Bertelsmann is a broadcaster.
Komisjon uuris ka ühisettevõtte ja selle emaettevõtja vahelisi vertikaalseid suhteid, kuid jõudis järeldusele, et kavandatava tehinguga ei kaasneks turgu valitsevat seisundit ei on-line-muusika jaemüügiturul, kus tegutseb Sony, ega ka muusikasalvestiste turul nendes riikides, kus tegutseb Bertelsmann.
With respect to possible spillover e ects pursuant to Article 2(4) of the merger regulation, the Commission found that a coordination of Sony and BMG’s competitive behaviour in the music publishing markets was unlikely.
Võimaliku kõrvalmõju suhtes vastavalt ühinemismääruse artikli 2 lõikele 4 leidis komisjon, et Sony ja BMG konkurentsikäitumise kooskõlastamine muusika kirjastamise turgudel ei ole tõenäoline.
On the basis of these ndings, the Commission approved the merger on 19 July.
Nende tulemuste põhjal andis komisjon 19. juulil ühinemisele heakskiidu.

AREVA, the French nuclear group, and Urenco, a company set up by the governments of the UK, the Netherlands and Germany, are the main European providers of uranium enrichment services which are needed to produce fuel for nuclear power plants.
Prantsuse tuumakontsern AREVA ning Ühendkuningriigi, Madalmaade ja Saksamaa valitsuste asutatud ettevõte Urenco on Euroopas peamised tuumaelektrijaama kütuse tootmiseks vajalike uraanirikastusteenuste osutajad.
Centrifuge technology o ers significant advantages over the older gas di usion technology currently used by AREVA.
Tsentrifuugtehnoloogia on oluliselt parem vanast gaasidifusiooni tehnoloogiast, mida AREVA praegu kasutab.
195. e operation was jointly referred to the Commission by France, Sweden and Germany in April. e Commission’s investigation identified competition concerns in the downstream market for uranium. e Commission was concerned that the proposed concentration could lead to the creation of a joint dominant position in the European Union, in particular given that ETC could be used by AREVA and Urenco to coordinate, through the exercise of their respective veto rights, their capacity developments.
Komisjon tuvastas uurimise tulemusena, et omandamisega kaasneksid konkurentsiprobleemid rikastatud uraani järgneval turul. Komisjon kartis, et kavandatava koondumisega võib kaasneda ühise turgu valitseva seisundi tekkimine Euroopa Liidus, eriti seetõttu, et AREVA ja Urenco võivad kasutada ETC-d ja oma vastavat vetoõigust tootmismahtude kooskõlastamiseks.
By these commitments, submitted at an early stage in Phase II, AREVA and Urenco rst undertook to remove their respective veto rights in relation to future capacity expansions.
Teise etapi alguses kohustusid AREVA ja Urenco esiteks loobuma oma õigusest keelata tulevikus tootmismahtude suurendamine.
Secondly, the ow of commercially sensitive information between ETC and its parents will be prevented by a series of measures which will be closely monitored. irdly, the parties have committed themselves to supplying the European Supply Agency (ESA) with additional information which will enable ESA to more closely monitor the provision and pricing of enriched uranium and to respond, if necessary.
Teiseks välditakse tundliku äriteabe vahetamist ETC ja emaettevõtjate vahel mitme meetmega, mille täitmist hoolikalt kontrollitakse. Kolmandaks kohustusid osalised andma Euroopa tarneagentuurile lisateavet, mis võimaldab tarneagentuuril täpsemalt kontrollida rikastatud uraani tarnimist ja hindu ning vajadusel sekkuda.
Cores are used as the base around which various products, such as paper, lm and yarn are wound.
Rullisüdamike ümber keritakse mitmesuguseid tooteid, näiteks paberit, lmi ja lõnga.
Among cores, highend paper mill cores are high
Odavamad rullisüdamikud on standardtooted, mida kasutatakse kõikides tööstusharudes.
200. e Commission’s in-depth investigation identified concerns in the markets for highend paper mill cores in the whole of Scandinavia and for low-value cores in Norway and Sweden, where the joint venture would have high market shares and where the significant competitive pressure exerted by Sonoco on the market leader Ahlstrom would be lost.
Komisjon viis läbi põhjaliku uurimise, mille tulemusel tuvastati konkurentsiprobleemide olemasolu kallite paberitööstuses kasutatavate rullisüdamike turul kõikides Skandinaavia maades ning odavamate rullisüdamike turul Norras ja Rootsis, kus ühisettevõte oleks hõivanud suure osa turust ja kust oleks kadunud Sonocopoolne konkurentsisurve turuliidrile Ahlstromile.
To remedy these concerns, the parties proposed to divest Ahlstrom’s sole Norwegian cores manufacturing facility in Sveberg. ey also o ered not to implement the merger before a buyer is found.
Probleemide lahendamiseks tegid osalised ettepaneku loobuda Norras Svebergis asuvast ainsast Ahlstromi rullisüdamike tehasest. Samuti tehti ettepanek, et ühinemist ei toimu enne ostja leidmist.
Indeed, in late October, the Commission approved the acquisition of Sveberg by Abzac, a French core manufacturer which has significant activities in continental Europe, but which was absent from the Scandinavian markets.
Oktoobri lõpus kiitis komisjon heaks Svebergi omandamise Prantsuse rullisüdamike tootja Abzaci poolt, kes tegutseb küll Mandri-Euroopas, kuid mitte Skandinaavia turgudel.
It was approved by the Commission subject to divestiture commitments.
Komisjon kiitis ühinemise heaks varade loovutamise kohustuse tingimusel.
In view of the parties’ dominant position in the markets for air springs for commercial vehicles and for heavy steel cord conveyor belts, the approval was only possible a er the Commission had received commitments which could eliminate the identified competition problems.
Arvestades osaliste valitsevat seisundit tarbesõidukite õhkvedrustuse turul ja terastrossist lintkonveierite turul, sai komisjon tehingu heaks kiita alles pärast seda, kui osalised olid kohustunud kõrvaldama tuvastatud konkurentsiprobleemid.
Phoenix jointly controls Vibracoustic GmbH & Co KG, Germany, through which it distributes air springs for trucks and cars. 204. e acquisition would have led to significant overlaps in various markets for technical rubber products, in particular in the markets for air springs and for steel cord conveyor belts.
Phoenixil on ühisosalus Saksa äriühingus Vibracoustic GmbH & Co KG, mille kaudu ta turustab veo- ja sõiduautode õhkvedrusid. 204. Omandamisega oleks kaasnenud oluline kattumus erinevatel tehniliste kummitoodete turgudel, eriti õhkvedrude turul ja terastrossist lintkonveierite turul.
Heavy steel cord conveyor belts are used for the transport of heavy goods over long distances, in particular in the eld of lignite mining.
Terastrossist lintkonveiereid kasutatakse raskete kaupade teisaldamisel pikkade vahemaade taha, eriti pruunsöekaevandustes.
Having identified potential competition concerns in the markets for air springs for commercial vehicles, cars and rail vehicles as well as for heavy steel cord conveyor belts and for lter belts, the Commission started an in-depth investigation on 29 June.
Pärast võimalike konkurentsiprobleemide tuvastamist tarbesõidukite, sõiduautode ja rööbassõidukite õhkvedrude turul, samuti terastrossist lintkonveierite ning lterkonveierite turul alustas komisjon 29. juunil põhjalikku uurimist.
Indeed, the acquisition combined the two leading players in these two markets and would have led to a combined market share in both markets of well above 60 %, with only a few smaller remaining competitors.
1. köide mõlemal turul 60%-ni, jättes alles ainult mõned väiksemad konkurendid.
In order to eliminate the Commission’s competition concerns, Continental committed itself to divesting Phoenix’s 50 % co-controlling stake in the joint venture Vibracoustic to the only other shareholder, Freudenberg (Germany).
Konkurentsiprobleemide kõrvaldamiseks kohustus Continental loovutama Phoenixi 50% kaasosaluse ühisettevõttes Vibracoustic ainsale teisele aktsionärile Freudenbergile (Saksamaa).
In addition, Continental committed itself to causing Phoenix to completely divest its production of air springs for commercial vehicles (OEM/OES), located in a plant in Hungary. ese two commitments remove entirely the overlap of the parties’ activities in the eld of air springs for commercial vehicles (OEM/OES).
Lisaks kohustus Continental täielikult loovutama Phoenixi Ungaris asuva tarbesõidukite õhkvedrude tootmise (OEM/OES). Need kaks lubadust hoiavad täielikult ära osaliste tegevuse kattumise tarbesõidukite õhkvedrude valdkonnas (OEM/OES).
On 9 December, the Commission decided to prohibit the proposed acquisition of joint control over Gás de Portugal (GDP), the incumbent gas company in Portugal, by Energias de Portugal (EDP), the incumbent electricity company in Portugal, and ENI, an Italian energy company.
9. detsembril otsustas komisjon keelata Portugali turgu valitseval elektrienergiaettevõttel Energias de Portugal (EDP) ja Itaalia energiaettevõttel ENI omandada ühiskontrolli turgu valitseva Portugali gaasiettevõtte Gás de Portugal (GDP) üle.
A er an in-depth investigation, the Commission concluded that the deal would strengthen EDP’s dominant position in the electricity wholesale and retail markets in Portugal and GDP’s dominant position in Portuguese gas markets. e concentration would thus significantly reduce or pre-empt the e ects of liberalisation of the electricity and gas markets in Portugal, and increase prices for domestic and industrial customers.
Pärast põhjalikku uurimist jõudis komisjon järeldusele, et tehing tugevdaks EDP valitsevat seisundit elektri hulgi- ja jaemüügi turul Portugalis ja GDP valitsevat seisundit Portugali gaasiturul. Seega vähendaks koondumine oluliselt Portugali elektri- ja gaasituru liberaliseerimise mõju ning tõstaks hindu kodu- ja tööstustarbijate jaoks.
EDP generates, distributes and supplies electricity in Portugal. rough its Spanish a liates (Hidrocantabrico and Naturcorp), EDP also has substantial electricity and gas activities in Spain.
EDP toodab, jaotab ja tarnib elektrienergiat Portugalis. Hispaania tütarettevõtjate (Hidrocantabrico ja Naturcorp) kaudu tegutseb EDP ka Hispaania elektri- ja gaasiturul.
ENI is an Italian company active internationally at all levels of the energy supply and distribution chain.
ENI on Itaalia ettevõte, kes tegutseb rahvusvahelisel turul elektrivarustuse ja -jaotuse kõikidel tasanditel.
On 9 July, EDP and ENI notified a concentration concerning the acquisition of joint control over GDP, previously controlled by the Portuguese State and ENI. e former merger regulation was applicable in this case, as the underlying binding agreement predated the entry into force of the new merger regulation. e notified concentration was part of a wider operation including the transfer of the gas transmission network, owned by GDP, to REN, the Portuguese electricity grid operator within a given time frame. e transfer of the network constituted a di erent concentration, which fell under the competence of the Portuguese authorities.
Ühinemiste kontroll mis hõlmas GDP gaasivarustusvõrgu üleandmist Portugali elektrivõrguettevõttele REN ettenähtud aja jooksul. Võrgu üleandmine oli eri koondumine, mis jäi Portugali asutuste pädevusse.
Since mid-2004, all electricity markets have been fully open to competition.
Alates 2004. aasta keskpaigast on kõik elektriturud olnud tegevuseks täiesti avatud.
Geographic markets
Geograalised turud
However, the Commission found that MIBEL has been postponed several times over the past years: many important regulatory barriers have still to be removed before MIBEL can actually start; competitive conditions between Spain and Portugal are likely to remain significantly di erent even a er the launch of MIBEL; irrespective of the establishment of MIBEL, the projected level of interconnections between Spain and Portugal will remain limited and it was not possible to conclude that e ective integration of the two markets would take place in a time frame relevant for the assessment of the merger.
Komisjon leidis siiski, et MIBEL-i kasutusele võtmist on eelnevatel aastatel mitmel korral edasi lükatud, enne süsteemi tegelikku käivitamist tuleb kõrvaldada paljud seadusandlikud tõkked; konkurentsitingimused Hispaanias ja Portugalis jäävad tõenäoliselt ka pärast MIBEL-i kasutusele võtmist väga erinevaks; prognoosi kohaselt jäävad MIBEL-i käivitumisele vaatamata Hispaania ja Portugali vahelised sidemed piiratuks ega ole kindel, et kahe turu tõhus integreerimine toimub ühinemise hindamiseks vajaliku aja jooksul.

Strengthening of EDP’s dominant position in the Portuguese electricity markets
(Tejo Energia) on EDP mõju all; import ei ole piisav EDP turgu valitseva seisundi kõigutamiseks.
220. e merger would have strengthened EDP’s dominant position as a result of both horizontal and vertical e ects.
Ühinemine oleks tugevdanud EDP turgu valitsevat seisundit nii horisontaalsete kui ka vertikaalsete mõjude tõttu.
As for the horizontal e ects (all electricity markets), without the merger GDP would have been very likely to build a CCGT in Portugal and become one of the main competitors in the electricity markets, considering in particular that having access to competitive gas supplies confers a significant advantage in electricity as CCGTs now constitute the most common way of generating new power and that GDP could rely on its brand and gas customer base, to which it could o er a joint supply of gas and electricity (dual fuel o er).
Seoses horisontaalsete mõjudega kõikidel elektriturgudel oleks GDP ilma ühinemiseta väga tõenäoliselt ehitanud Portugali gaasiküttega elektrijaama ja saanud üheks peamiseks konkurendiks elektriturgudel, eriti seetõttu, et juurdepääs konkureerivatele gaasivarudele annab talle olulise eelise, sest praegu on gaasiküttega elektrijaamad kõige tavalisem elektri tootmise viis ja GDP oleks saanud kasutada oma mainet ja kliendibaasi, kellele ta oleks pakkunud gaasi ja elektri ühise tarnimise võimalust (kahe eri kütuseliigi pakkumine).
As for the non-horizontal e ects (wholesale electricity market), the proposed concentration would have given the merged entity privileged and preferential access to proprietary information about its competitors’ costs, conferring on it a significant advantage; access to Portuguese gas resources and infrastructure; and the ability and the incentive to control gas prices and raise its rivals’ costs.
Seoses mittehorisontaalse mõjuga (elektri hulgimüügi turg) oleks kavandatav koondumine andnud ühisettevõttele privilegeeritud ja soodsa juurdepääsu konkurentide hinnateabele ja seega olulise eelise konkurentide ees; juurdepääsu Portugali gaasivarudele ja infrastruktuurile; võimaluse ja motiivi kontrollida gaasi hindu ja suurendada konkurentide kulusid.
GDP’s dominant position in these markets would have been strengthened by the proposed operation, allowing the merged entity to impede further the competition being introduced as a result of the liberalisation process. is is essentially for the reasons outlined below.
Kavandatav tehing oleks oluliselt tugevdanud GDP valitsevat seisundit neil turgudel ja võimaldanud ühisettevõttel jätkuvalt takistada liberaliseerimisprotsessi tulemusel kasvavat konkurentsi. Põhjused on järgmised.
LDC Portgás. e importance of entering the gas markets is also evidenced by EDP’s recent acquisition of the second-largest gas player in Spain (Naturcorp). is significant potential competition would be lost a er the merger.
Ühinemiste kontroll tegid nad ettepaneku loobuda kohalikust jaotusettevõttest (Setgás), anda gaasi infrastruktuur ja import üle võrguettevõtjale REN ning anda elektritootmine rendile mahus, mis vastab ühele kolmandikule EDP gaasiküttega elektrijaama tootmismahust.
For instance, the Commission noted that Setgás accounts for only 8 % of the gas retail market while the LDC controlled by EDP, Portgás, accounts for as much as about 30 %; although the transfer of the gas infrastructure to REN (ownership unbundling) would have been a positive move, no sufficient available capacity for third parties’ imports was guaranteed; the proposed lease of power production in EDP’s gas-fired power plant represented only 4 % of generation capacity in Portugal and would have created a high degree of dependence on the part of the lessee upon EDP.
Näiteks märkis komisjon, et Setgási turuosa gaasi jaemüügi turul on ainult 8%, samas kui EDP kontrolli all oleva kohaliku jaotusettevõtte Portgási turuosa on umbes 30%; kuigi gaasi infrastruktuuri üleandmine REN-ile (omandisuhete eraldamine) oleks olnud positiivne käik, ei tagaks see kolmandatele isikutele piisavalt impordimahtu; pakutud elektritootmise rendile andmine EDP gaasiküttega elektrijaamades moodustab ainult 4% Portugali elektritootmise mahust ja oleks muutnud rendilevõtja EDP-st väga sõltuvaks.
Some time a er the deadline for submitting remedies, the parties proposed revised commitments which, however, failed to address the competition concerns resulting from the operation in a straightforward manner.
Mõni aeg pärast parandusmeetmete esitamise tähtpäeva esitasid osalised muudetud parandusmeetmete ettepaneku, mis siiski ei suutnud pakkuda selget lahendust tegevusest tulenevatele konkurentsiprobleemidele.
