C 83/2

Amendment by France of public service obligations in respect of scheduled air services within Guyana

(2005/C 83/02)

(Text with EEA relevance)

France has decided to impose public service obligations from 1 June 2005 on scheduled air services between Grand Santi – Saint-Laurent – Cayenne and to modify from the same date the public service obligations imposed on scheduled air services between Maripasoula, Saint Georges de l'Oyapock and Saül pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992 on access for Community air carriers to intra-Community air routes.

The public service obligation is as follows:

2.1.

Minimum frequency

The services must be operated throughout the year with at least:

Between Cayenne and Maripasoula

Two return trips every day;

Between Cayenne and Saül

One return trip every day;

Between Cayenne and Saint Georges de l'Oyapock

One return trip on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays;

Between Cayenne and Grand Santi, via Saint Laurent du Maroni

One return trip every day.

2.2.

Capacity provided

For each of the four routes, a minimum capacity must be provided to meet demand. Minimum capacity provided must never be less than:

Between Cayenne and Maripasoula

—	33,000 passenger seats annually

—	440 tonnes of freight annually

Between Cayenne and Saül

—	8,000 passenger seats annually

—	100 tonnes of freight annually

Between Cayenne and Saint Georges de l'Oyapock

—	5,000 passenger seats annually

Between Cayenne and Saint Laurent du Maroni on the one hand, and Grand Santi on the other

—	8,000 passenger seats annually

—	300 tonnes of freight annually

The above capacity figures comprise the total number of passenger seats available in both directions for passengers while freight figures only apply to freight out of Cayenne or Saint Laurent du Maroni; the above freight capacity figures do not include accompanied luggage.

2.3.

Fares

A ‘basic’ fare and a ‘reduced’ fare must be offered on all flights with no capacity restriction. The ‘reduced tariff’ applies to passengers holding a full residence permit proving residence of at least 6 months and 1 day per year in the municipality (Maripasoula, Saül, Saint Georges de l'Oyapock or Grand Santi) to and/or from which they are requesting the reduction.

These fares must not exceed:

Route	‘Basic’ fare for a single ticket ex. taxes	‘Reduced’ fare for a single ticket ex. taxes

Cayenne — Grand Santi	€ 58,20	€ 35,75
Grand-Santi — Saint Laurent du Maroni	€ 42,60	€ 26,20

These fares exclude per capita taxes and duties levied by the State, local authorities and airport authorities, and identified as such on the air ticket.

2.4.

	Food freight		Ordinary freight	Accompanied luggage	Agri-food freight from the municipalities

Maximum fares may be reviewed each year in the light of changes, over 12 months, in the retail price index. The new maximum fare must be notified to the carriers operating the routes by mail 90 days before it takes effect.

2.5.	Quality of service The carrier must have refrigeration facilities for the storage of all frozen and refrigerated products.

2.6.

(Case COMP/M.3774 — Pirelli/DB Real Estate/Investitori Associati/La Rinascente-Upim)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2005/C 83/03)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 23 March 2005, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertakings Pirelli C. Real Estate S.p.A. (‘PRE’, Italy), DB Real Estate Global Opportunities IB, L.P. (‘DBRE’, Cayman Islands) and Investitori Associati SGR S.p.A. (‘IA SGR’, Italy) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control of the undertaking La Rinascente S.p.A. (‘La Rinascente’, Italy) by way of purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

—	for PRE: real estate services and investments,

—	for DBRE: close-ended real estate investment fund,

—	for IA SGR: fund management services,

—	for La Rinascente: retail distribution of clothing and accessories as well as household products and assorted goods.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under 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.

The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed operation to the Commission.

Observations can be sent to the Commission by fax (No (32-2) 296 43 01 or 296 72 44) or by post, under reference number COMP/M.3774 — Pirelli/DB Real Estate/Investitori Associati/La Rinascente-Upim, to the following address:
