– (DA) Mr President, what would happen if a small Danish limited company with 100 employees were to draw up annual accounts about which a chartered accountant made a declaration emphasising that most of the reservations were due to the fact that they recurred from year to year; and if it were confirmed that the weaknesses were to a large extent due to the failure of the company’s accounting system to provide adequate assurance that its balance sheet was complete and included all the elements of the company’s activities; and if, in addition, the declaration stated that there were problems with the monitoring and security systems, and ...[+++] that the data in the system were not complete; and it continued by saying that it was a matter of concern that the company did not give a high enough priority to remedying these defects, and that it had not given sufficient consideration to the area or allocated enough resources to finding a solution to the problems within a reasonable time frame? What would happen if it was ultimately concluded that no declaration could be made as to whether the construction work, purchases or services forming the basis of the payments to the local recipients, actually took place? If all this happened, the board of directors would, firstly, refuse to give discharge to the management.

MBN will operate in the prime contracting for a new generation of local area systems, which are used by military land forces to transmit voice, data and images between headquarters and vehicles.

No market data are yet available for MBN's products, but, in view of Thomson's position in standard local area systems, of the existence of some strong competitors both from the EU and the US as well and of the strong countervailing power of the clients (Ministries of Defence - MoDs), the Commission has concluded that the concentration would not cause any serious concern for competition.
