Traduction de «Fréquence critique de fusion » (Français → Anglais) :

Operating aid of this kind is justifiable, temporarily, only in the case of small airports that do not yet have the critical mass needed to reach break-even point. In addition, the aid must provide airlines with the necessary incentive to create new routes or new schedules operated from the regional airports in question.

SMEs in particular should be encouraged to join or set up networks, to invest in cooperation activities and joint ventures, or even to undergo mergers, in order to attain a critical mass.

In addition to the complete annual visit, the inspection body or authority must make targeted visits based on a general evaluation of the potential risks of non-compliance with this Regulation; the inspection body or authority shall pay particular attention to the critical control points pointed out for the operator, with a view to establishing whether the surveillance and checking operations are carried out as they should be.

The merger will result in a significant combined RD potential. However, there wiill be enough other companies having the necessary "critical mass" in this field.

As the sole arbiter of proposed mergers and concentrations between companies which have an aggregate worldwide turnover in excess of ECU 5 billion and individual turnover of ECU 250 million in Europe, of at least two of the companies concerned, the European Commission invites governments and companies, before 31 March 1996, to a wide ranging debate centred, essentially, on the three following themes: - a reduction in the thresholds which give exclusive control to the Commission being ECU 2 billion for worldwide sales (in place of ECU 5 billion) and ECU 100 million (instead of ECU 250 million).; - should such a reduction not be achieved, exclusive control for the Commission for those mergers which fall between "the old and the new threshold ...[+++]s" and which have to be notified to several national competition authorities; this approach would save both time and money; - a series of options giving answer to the criticisms formulated, not only by the business world, but equally by certain Member States, as regards cooperative joint venture operations which do not fall under the rules of the Merger Regulation but under the "general" rules regarding competition policy (in particular Article 85 of the Treaty).
