(2014/C 262/02)
Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuance of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national side features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.
Issuing country : Belgium
Subject of commemoration : 150 years of the Belgian Red Cross
Description of the design : The inner part of the coin features a cross with the number ‘150’ in its centre. The vertical and horizontal bars of the cross bear the words ‘Rode Kruis’ and ‘Croix-Rouge’ respectively. The cross is surrounded by the mark of the Brussels mint (a helmeted profile of the archangel Michael), the signature mark of the Master of the Mint, the year 2014, and the country code ‘BE’.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
Number of coins to be issued : 260 000 coins
Date of issue : September 2014
(1) See OJ C 373, 28.12.2001, p. 1 for the national sides of all the coins issued in 2002.

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.7316 — Det Norske Oljeselskap / Marathon Oil Norge)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/C 262/09)
|
1. |
On 5 August 2014, the European Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertaking Det Norske Oljeselskap ASA (‘Det Norske’, Norway), ultimately controlled by Aker ASA (‘Aker’, Norway), acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of Marathon Oil Norge AS (‘Marathon’ Norway), by way of purchase of shares. |
|
2. |
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are: — for Det Norske: the exploration and production (‘E&P’) of oil and gas on the Norwegian continental shelf. Det Norske is ultimately controlled by Aker, which is active, through its subsidiaries Aker Solutions ASA, Kvaerner ASA and Align AS, in the production and sale of specialised equipment for E&P companies on a global level as well as in the provision of operation and maintenance services for E&P companies with a focus on the North Sea, — for Marathon: the exploration and production of oil and gas on the Norwegian continental shelf. |
|
3. |
On preliminary examination, the European Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. |
|
4. |
The European Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed operation to the European Commission. Observations must reach the European Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication. Observations can be sent to the European Commission by fax (+32 22964301), by e-mail to COMP-MERGER-REGISTRY@ec.europa.eu or by post, under reference number M.7316 — Det Norske Oljeselskap / Marathon Oil Norge, to the following address:
