  • [01] La Commission donne son feu vert à l'acquisition de la société Ascométal par le groupe Lucchini

    La Commission européenne a reçu notification d'un projet de concentration aux termes duquel l'entreprise Lucchini S.p.a. (Italie) acquiert le contrôle exclusif de l'entreprise Ascométal (France), appartenant au groupe Usinor, par achat d'actions. L'opération concerne essentiellement la production de produits longs en acier. La Commission considère que l'opération ne crée ni ne renforce de position dominante et qu'elle ne soulève pas de doutes quant à sa compatibilité avec le marché commun.

    [02] Commission approves acquisition of Pioneer Hi-Bred International Inc. by DuPont de Nemours & Co.

    The European Commission has approved the acquisition of the US seeds producer Pioneer Hi-Bred International Inc. (Pioneer) by the US manufacturer of biological and chemical and agrochemical products E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. (DuPont).

    [03] La Commission approuve l'acquisition de Sanofi Beauté par Artémis S.A.

    La Commission européenne a décidé d'approuver l'acquisition de Sanofi Beauté par Artémis (Pinault Printemps Redoute). Artémis est une société holding, principalement active dans le secteur de la vente au détail et de la distribution. La société française Sanofi Beauté est active dans la production et la vente de parfums de luxe, de cosmétiques et d'articles mode (principalement sous la marque Yves Saint Laurent). L'opération ne suscite pas d'inquiétudes au niveau de la concurrence, étant donné que les parts de marché produits de luxe ainsi que de distribution de produits de luxe des parties sont inférieures à 25%.

    [04] Design protection : Commission presents amended proposal for regulation

    An amended proposal for a Council Regulation on the European Community Design has been presented by the European Commission. The proposal would encourage innovation and help to prevent counterfeiting and piracy by providing for protection of industrial designs throughout the European Union's Single Market on the basis of a single, simple and inexpensive registration procedure with the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market, based in Alicante, Spain. The amended proposal includes all the relevant provisions on substantive design law featured in Directive 98/71/EC, which harmonises national rules on design protection, and so is fully compatible with the Directive. The proposal takes full account of extensive consultations with industry, intellectual property practitioners, consumer organisations, government experts and other interested parties.
