  • [01] Eurobaromètre : les Européens souhaitent une amélioration de la mobilité

    Bien que la voiture privée reste le principal moyen de transport des habitants de l'UE, ceux-ci sont également bien conscients de son incidence sur l'environnement et le trafic. D'après un sondage Eurobaromètre réalisé récemment et publié aujourd'hui, la plupart des Européens sont favorables à des mesures qui incitent à utiliser les transports en commun et qui vont dans le sens d'une mobilité plus durable. Cette enquête d'opinion a également permis de mettre en lumière l'attitude des Européens à l'égard de la sûreté dans le transport aérien et des droits des passagers aériens.

    [02] European cities: 'Good places to live and work, getting better', Eurobarometer survey shows

    People like living in cities and expect them to improve as places in which to live and work. Those are some of the main conclusions of a Eurobarometer survey on the Quality of Life in European Cities. More than three-quarters of interviewees were satisfied with the quality of life in their cities, and a majority were positive about their city's future. Though citizens were on the whole satisfied with the quality of services such as education, health and culture, they had concerns over issues including availability of jobs, housing costs, and pollution.

    [03] Les conclusions de l'audit urbain jettent les bases d'un ajustement des moteurs de la croissance européenne

    Les emplois, les entreprises et les établissements d'enseignement supérieur sont concentrés dans les villes d'Europe, qui jouent un rôle déterminant dans la compétitivité de l'Union dans une économie mondialisée. Mais les problèmes d'exclusion sociale et de ségrégation géographique sont aussi caractéristiques du milieu urbain. Ces observations figurent parmi les principales conclusions d'une étude indépendante menée pour la Commission européenne sur la base des statistiques urbaines collectées dans le cadre de l'«audit urbain européen».

    [04] Commission clears acquisition of ISAB energy services by ERG and IPM

    The European Commission has granted clearance under the EU Merger Regulation to the acquisition of sole control of certain assets and contracts currently belonging to ERG Nuove Centrali S.p.A., an affiliate of ERG, of Italy (the Business Line) by ERG Power & Gas S.p.A. (ERG) of Italy and IPM Eagle LLP (IPM) of the UK. ERG is active in the development of power plants, electricity generation, and the sale of electricity and steam. IPM is active in electricity generation and the sale of electricity. The Business line supplies maintenance services to industrial plants. The operation was examined under the simplified merger review procedure.

    [05] Commission clears acquisition of Icopal by Investcorp

    The European Commission has granted clearance under the EU Merger Regulation to the acquisition of sole control of Icopal A/S (Icopal) of Denmark by Investcorp Investment Holding Ltd (Investcorp) of the UK. Investcorp is a private equity fund. Icopal manufactures roofing materials and products for the building industry. The operation was examined under the simplified merger review procedure.

    [06] Commission clears acquisition of Torrita by Adecco

    The European Commission has granted clearance under the EU Merger Regulation to the acquisition of sole control of Torrita Vermögensverwaltung GmbH (Torrita) of Germany by Adecco SA of Switzerland, controlled by Jacobs Holding AG (JAG) of Switzerland. Adecco provides human resource and staffing services on a global scale. Torrita provides temporary employment services in various industries in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The operation was examined under the simplified merger review procedure.

    [07] La Commission autorise le projet d'entreprise commune entre SES Astra et Eutelsat

    La Commission européenne a autorisé, en application du règlement CE sur les concentrations, la création d'une entreprise commune entre SES Astra (Luxembourg) et Eutelsat (France) en vue de la fourniture d'une infrastructure satellitaire pour la diffusion de télévision mobile ainsi que pour des services de communication de voix et de données vers les équipements mobiles. La Commission a conclu que l'opération n'entraverait pas de manière significative une concurrence effective dans l'Espace économique européen ou dans une partie substantielle de celui-ci.
