  • [01] Commission clears joint-venture between Hitachi and LG Electronics The European Commission has given the go-ahead for the joint-venture between Hitachi, Ltd. of Japan and LG Electronics of South Korea in the sector of optical data-storage disk drives (CD and DVD drives). The deal does not raise any competition concerns since the joint-venture will face strong competition from other players such as Toshiba and Samsung.
  • [02] La Commission autorise une entreprise commune italienne entre JCDecaux, Rizzoli Corriere della Sera et Publitransport dans le domaine de la publicit� ext�rieure La Commission europ�enne a autoris� un projet d'entreprise commune entre la soci�t� fran�aise JCDecaux et les soci�t�s italiennes Rizzoli Corriere della Sera et Publitransport dans le domaine de la publicit� ext�rieure en Italie. L'op�ration ne suscite pas de probl�me de concurrence parce qu'il existe sur le march� en cause un grand nombre d'op�rateurs, dont certains de dimension internationale, et que les obstacles � l'entr�e sur ce march� sont peu importants.
  • [03] Public procurement : standard forms to improve contract notices The European Commission has adopted a Directive imposing, from 1st May 2002, the use of standard forms in contract notices published in the EU's Official Journal in accordance with the EU's Directives requiring open and competitive public procurement procedures. The mandatory use of these forms will improve the quality of published notices, thus favouring openness, efficiency and transparency, and facilitate electronic procurement. In particular, use of these forms will make it easier for potential suppliers to use automatic search tools to find procurement notices of most interest and relevance to them. Moreover, for purchasing entities, the standard forms will simplify and cut the cost of compliance with EU procurement rules. European public procurement markets are together worth more than euro1,000 billion every year across the EU.
  • [04] La Commission propose la simplification de la l�gislation communautaire sur les engrais En conformit� avec les principes du Livre Blanc sur la Gouvernance, la Commission europ�enne propose que les 18 directives relatives aux engrais pr�sent�es d'une fa�on complexe et dispers�e fassent l'objet d'une refonte en un seul et m�me texte sous la forme d'une proposition de r�glement. L'objectif de la l�gislation communautaire relative aux engrais est d'assurer la libre circulation de ces produits � l'int�rieur de l'Union europ�enne tout en sp�cifiant les caract�ristiques auxquelles ils doivent se conformer. Parmi celles-ci figurent leur composition, leur �tiquetage et leur emballage. Le choix d'un r�glement est justifi� par le fait que ce type d'acte est le plus appropri� pour garantir une approche harmonis�e de l'application de la l�gislation relative aux engrais. Un r�glement facilite la t�che des Etats membres pour sa mise en oeuvre et son contr�le et garantit aux citoyens et entreprises europ�ennes l'exercice de leur droits de mani�re efficace � travers toute l'UE.
  • [05] Mergers approved under the simplified procedure - APAX Europe V-A.L.P. (USA) / Mannesman Plastics Machinery AG (D) - Collins & Aikman Corporation (USA) / Textron Automotive Trim (USA) - Itochu Corporation (Japan) / Marubeni Corporation (Japan)
