INTRODUCTION AND PROCEDURE (1) On 24 June 2010, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 ("the Merger Regulation") by which the Vassilakis Group of companies, Greece ("Vassilakis"), Marfin Investment Group, Greece ("Marfin") and the Laskaridis Group of companies, Greece ("Laskaridis") (collectively "the Parties") acquire joint control by way of purchase of shares over a newly merged company ("the merged entity") including the businesses of the following previously independent Greek companies: a) Aegean Airlines S.A.

(2) After examination of the notified transaction described in recital (1) ("the transaction"), the Commission concluded that the notified operation fell within the scope of the Merger Regulation and raised serious doubts as to its compatibility with the internal market and the EEA Agreement. The Commission therefore initiated proceedings in accordance with Article 6(1)(c) of the Merger Regulation on 30 July 2010 ("the decision opening proceedings"). (3) The Parties submitted their written comments on the decision opening proceedings on 10 August 20106.

The Parties replied to the Letter of Facts on 13 December 2010. The Advisory Committee was convened on 13 January 2011. (7) In order to address competition concerns identified in the Statement of Objections, the Parties submitted commitments on 12 November 2010 pursuant to Article 8(2) of the Merger Regulation.

  • STAR ALLIANCE to ESTABLISH CENTRE of EXCELLENCE in SINGAPORE New Setup Reflects Global Character of the Alliance
    STAR ALLIANCE TO ESTABLISH CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE IN SINGAPORE New setup reflects global character of the Alliance FRANKFURT – March 22, 2021 – Star Alliance will establish a management office in the city state of Singapore later this year. This was a decision taken by its Chief Executive Board, comprising the Chief Executive Officers of its 26 member airlines, who considered a new centre of excellence to be an important dimension of positioning the Alliance to deliver on its post-Coronavirus strategy, and for it to remain innovative, resilient and nimble. All businesses are reimagining a post-pandemic world fundamentally changed by COVID-19, and the associated disruption to global networks, economies, and the livelihoods of many. A consequence of the world’s reaction to COVID-19 has been the destabilizing effect it has had on aviation. This decision to future-proof the Alliance was made against this backdrop. Effectively, Star Alliance will maintain two centres of excellence internationally, in keeping with the global character of the Alliance. The Singapore office will complement the long-standing office in Frankfurt, Germany and will focus on progressing its strategy in digital customer experience. Two members of the Alliance, Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines, have established innovation hubs in the City, another benefit as the Alliance continues its ground-breaking digital customer experience innovations. Singapore was selected based on considered criteria, such as access to innovation and global competitiveness. Singapore has also been ranked highly for the ease of doing business by the World Bank on a consistent basis and has been ranked the most competitive country in the world on several occasions.
