Note 1: Generally the date of cessation of presumption of conformity will be the date of withdrawal (‘dow’), set by the European Standardisation Organisation, but attention of users of these standards is drawn to the fact that in certain exceptional cases this can be otherwise.

Note 2.1: The new (or amended) standard has the same scope as the superseded standard. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive.

Note 2.2: The new standard has a broader scope than the superseded standard. On the date stated the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive.

Note 2.3: The new standard has a narrower scope than the superseded standard. On the date stated the (partially) superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive for those products that fall within the scope of the new standard. Presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive for products that still fall within the scope of the (partially) superseded standard, but that do not fall within the scope of the new standard, is unaffected.

Note 3: In case of amendments, the referenced standard is EN CCCCC:YYYY, its previous amendments, if any, and the new, quoted amendment. The superseded standard (column 3) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive. C 278/14 EN Official Journal of the European Union 18.11.2009

Prior notification of a concentration (Case COMP/M.5660 — RBS/Deutsche Bank/Spin HoldCo) Candidate case for simplified procedure (Text with EEA relevance) (2009/C 278/12)

1. On 10 November 2009, 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 Royal Bank of Scotland Plc (UK) and Deutsche Bank (DE) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control of the undertaking Spin HoldCo (US) by way of debt-for-equity swap. 2. The business activities of the undertakings concerned are: — The Royal Bank of Scotland: holding company of one of the world's largest banking and financial services groups, — Deutsche Bank: active worldwide in the investment banking business and also offers banking services to private clients, — Spin HoldCo: parent company of Coinmach Service Corporation, the largest supplier of outsourced laundry equipment services for multi-family housing properties in the United States and Mexico. 3. 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. 4.
