  • [01] Commission approves joint venture between P&W and GE for new aircraft engine

    The European Commission has approved the creation of a joint venture between the US companies Pratt & Whitney (P&W) and General Electric Aircraft Engines (GE), two of the world's three manufacturers of big jet engines. The third competitor is the UK company Rolls-Royce. The joint venture, called the Engine Alliance, is formed to develop and sell a new engine intended for Airbus' future "superjumbo", known as the A3XX. The Commission has approved the joint venture for a period of 15 years subject to a condition and a number of obligations to ensure that P&W and GE will continue to compete outside the scope of the joint venture.

    [02] La Commission constate que le système néerlandais des virements à communication structurée n'est pas contraire aux règles de concurrence de l'UE

    La Commission européenne a décidé qu'un accord conclu entre des banques néerlandaises concernant une procédure commune de traitement des virements à communication structurée ne relevait pas des règles de concurrence de l'Union européenne (UE), étant donné qu'il n'affectait pas les échanges entre Etats membres. La Commission a indiqué, par ailleurs, qu'elle considérait l'accord conclu entre les banques concernant une commission de traitement des formules de virement à communication structurée comme restrictif de la concurrence. Elle aurait néanmoins considéré cette commission interbancaire d'un œil favorable dans l'hypothèse où les règles de concurrence de l'UE auraient été applicables.
