In the present case, the Commission notes that on 28 March 2006 the French authorities delivered to it documents attesting that SNCM’s shareholder had carried out research into the least costly solution for it by examining in parallel and from the outset two possibilities, namely the liquidation of the undertaking and its sale at a negative price.

Physical start of a runway direction.

The beginning of that portion of the runway usable for landing.

Starting from the beginning of the first reference period the information on new orders (Nos 130, 131, 132) may be approximated by an alternative leading indicator, which may be calculated from business opinion survey data.

‘start of work’ means either the start of construction work or the first legally binding commitment to order equipment, excluding preliminary feasibility studies, whichever is the earlier;

It also includes any storage reservoirs for the operating medium and the return lines, but not the vehicle's engine (except for the purposes of item 4.1.3) or its drive to the energy source; 1.3.4.1. Energy source means that part of the energy supply which provides the energy in the required form e.g. hydraulic pump, air compressor; 1.3.4.2. Energy reservoir means that part of the energy supply in which the energy provided by the energy source is stored; 1.3.4.3. Storage reservoir means that part of the energy supply in which the operating medium is stored at or near to the atmospheric pressure. 1.4. Steering parameters 1.4.1. Steering control effort means the force applied to the steering control in order to steer the vehicle; 1.4.2. S ...[+++]teering time means the period of time from the beginning of the movement of the steering control to the moment at which the steered wheels have reached a specific steering angle; 1.4.3. Steering angle means the angle between the projection of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and the line of intersection of the wheelplane (being the central plane of the tyre, normal to the spin axis of the wheel) and the road surface; 1.4.4. Steering forces mean all the forces operating in the steering transmission; 1.4.5 Mean steering ratio means the ratio of the angular displacement of the steering control to the mean of the swept steering angle of the steered wheels for a full lock-to-lock turn; 1.4.6. Turning circle means the circle within which are located the projections onto the ground plane of all the points of the vehicle, excluding the external mirrors and the front direction indicators, when the vehicle is driven in a circle; 1.4.7. Nominal radius of steering control means in the case of a steering wheel the shortest dimension from its centre of rotation to the outer edge of the rim. In the case of any other form of control, it means the distance between its centre of rotation and the point at which the steering effort is applied. ...
