Article 2
This Decision is addressed to: Matra Marconi Space NV c/o Price Waterhouse Vooren Koninginnegracht 2514AA The Hague Netherlands DaimlerChrysler D - 70546 Stuttgart Germany Done at Brussels, 21 March 2000. For the Commission Mario Monti Member of the Commission (1) OJ L 395, 30.12.1989, p. 1; corrigendum: OJ L 257, 21.9.1990, p. 13. (2) OJ L 180, 9.7.1997, p. 1. (3) OJ C 285, 28.11.2003. (4) Turnover calculated in accordance with Article 5(1) of the Merger Regulation and the Commission Notice on the calculation of turnover (OJ C 66, 2.3.1998, p. 25). To the extent that figures include turnover for the period before 1 January 1999, they are calculated on the basis of average ecu exchange rates and translated into euro on a one-for-one basis. (5) See, e.g. Case IV/M.437 - Matra Marconi Space/British Aerospace Space Systems (OJ C 245, 1.9.1994, p. 9) or Case IV/M. 1185 - Alcatel/Thomson-CSF-SCS (OJ C 272, 1.9.1998, p. 5). (6) For the purpose of this decision, "Europe" means the EEA and Switzerland (and therefore includes all the Member States of the European Space Agency).

(13) The on-board management system includes software and hardware for processing information concerning the satellite attitude and orbit control system. It is an important part of the platform, and is usually considered to be part of the core technologies necessary for the prime-contractor to keep in order to remain competitive. (14) The unified propulsion systems is the propulsion subsystem of a satellite. It moves the satellite into orbit and is used to correct its attitude and orbit during its lifetime. The propulsion subsystem is in turn composed of a number of equipment products, including motors, thrusters and tanks. (15) Chemical thrusters are a part of the propulsion subsystem. (16) See Case IV/M.1564 - Astrolink. (17) See, e.g., Case IV/M.496 - Marconi-Finmeccanica (OJ C 253, 10.9.1994, p. 10) or IV/M.1185-Alcatel/Thomson-CSF-SCS (OJ C 272, 1.9.1998, p. 5).
