JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
of 14 December 2019
in Case E-1/19
Andreas Gyrre
v
The Norwegian Government, represented by the Ministry of Children and Equality
(Directive 2005/29/EC – Unfair business-to-consumer commercial practices – Annex I – Point 9 – Stating or otherwise creating the impression that a product can legally be sold when it cannot)
(2020/C 90/02)
In Case E-1/19, Andreas Gyrre v The Norwegian Government, represented by the Ministry of Children and Equality – REQUEST to the Court under Article 34 of the Agreement between the EFTA States on the Establishment of a Surveillance Authority and a Court of Justice by Borgarting Court of Appeal (Borgarting lagmannsrett) concerning the interpretation of Directive 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2005 concerning unfair business-to-consumer commercial practices in the internal market and amending Council Directive 84/450/EEC, Directives 97/7/EC, 98/27/EC and 2002/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and in particular point 9 of Annex I thereto, the Court, composed of Páll Hreinsson, President, Bernd Hammermann (Judge-Rapporteur), and Siri Teigum (ad hoc Judge), gave judgment on 14 December 2019, the operative part of which is as follows:
Point 9 of Annex I to Directive 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2005 concerning unfair business-to-consumer commercial practices in the internal market and amending Council Directive 84/450/EEC, Directives 97/7/EC, 98/27/EC and 2002/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council must be interpreted as encompassing situations in which a trader states or otherwise creates the impression, based on the overall impression conveyed to the average consumer at the time of the transactional decision, that a product can legally be sold when it cannot. It does not have a bearing on that assessment whether such a national legislative prohibition, as in the present case, applies in either the EEA State of sale or the EEA State of performance or in both. Nor is that assessment affected by the national legislative prohibition in question being subsequently found to be contrary to EEA law.

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.9507 — Salini Impregilo/Astaldi)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2020/C 90/04)
1.
On 9 March 2020, 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:
|
— |
Salini Impregilo S.p.A. (‘Salini Impregilo’, Italy); |
|
— |
Astaldi S.p.A. (‘Astaldi’, Italy). |
Salini Impregilo acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of Astaldi.
The concentration is accomplished in two phases: first, the acquisition of control will be accomplished through contractual rights arising from an offer submitted by Salini Impregilo to Astaldi’s controlling shareholder and, at the end of the court-supervised insolvency proceedings, by way of purchase of shares.
2.
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:|
— |
for Salini Impregilo: general contractor active in the market for construction services on a global scale, specifically in 10 EU Member States including Italy, Romania and Poland and in other 30 countries outside the EEA; |
|
— |
for Astaldi: general contractor active in the market for construction services on a global scale, specifically in four EU Member States including Italy, Romania and Poland and in 14 countries outside the EEA. |
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 procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under the Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (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 operation 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:
