Opinion of the Advisory Commitee on concentration given at its ninety-sixth meeting on 19 June
2001 concerning a preliminary draft decision relating to Case COMP/JV.55 — Hutchison/
RCPM/ECT

(2003/C 210/05)

1. The notified operation constitutes a concentration with a Community dimension within the meaning of

Articles 1 and 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation.

2. The Committee agrees with the Commission that the relevant market is the market for the provision of
stevedoring services for transhipment traffic carried by deep-sea container vessels in Northern Europe.

3. The Advisory Committee shares the Commission's view that the concentration as initially notified

would have created or strengthened a dominant position.

4. The commitments submitted by the parties are sufficient to remove the competition concerns. The

Advisory Committee wishes to be kept informed of the implementation of the commitments.

5. The Committee therefore agrees that the operation is compatible with the common market and the
functioning of the EEA-Agreement subject to full compliance with the conditions and obligations set
out in the Draft Decision.

6. The Committee recommends the publication of its opinion.

7. The Commission takes into account the remarks and comments made by the Advisory Committee.
