Investigation of an alliance agreement in the field of air transport

(2001/C 243/03)

1.
On 6 August 2001 British Airways (BA) and American Airlines (AA) informed the Commission of
their intention to deepen their bilateral alliance on transatlantic routes. The proposed alliance would
include profit-sharing, code-sharing, joint marketing and schedule coordination.

2.
BA and AA are seeking clearance for this alliance under EU competition law from the European
Commission and the UK Office of Fair Trading (OFT). The OFT will consider the parties’ application for an
exemption under Article 81(3) (OFT Enforcement Regulations Public Register, www.oft.gov.uk/html/about/
enfregpr.htm). The Commission will also conduct an investigation and may open a formal procedure under
Article 85 of the Treaty.

3.
The Commission invites interested third parties to submit any observations they may have on this
alliance. Observations must reach the Commission not later than 20 working days following the date
this publication. They can be sent by fax No (32-2) 295 01 28) or by post, quoting reference

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 17 August 2001 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
1.
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),
by which the undertaking RWA Raiffeisen Ware Austria AG (RWA), Austria, which is jointly controlled by
the German BayWa AG and by RWA Raiffeisen Ware Austria Handel- und Verm(cid:246)gensverwaltung reg.
GmbH (Austria), and the undertaking Verbund Stromvertriebsgesellschaft mbH (APC), Austria, acquire,
within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation, joint control of the undertaking RWA Wasserkraft
GmbH (RWAS), by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

(cid:151) RWA: trade in agricultural products and building materials,

(cid:151) Verbund: supply of electricity to large business clients, commercial clients and public entities,

(cid:151) RWAS: supply of electricity to clients with low consumption.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within
the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant
to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under
Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (3), it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under
