On 16 October 2001, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),
by which the undertaking Haniel Bau-Industrie Porenbeton Holding GmbH, belonging to the Haniel group
((cid:145)Haniel(cid:146)), acquires, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of that Regulation sole control of the undertaking
Ytong Holding AG ((cid:145)Ytong(cid:146)) by way of purchase of shares.
