(Text with EEA relevance)

On 8 November 2001 the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
1.
to Article 66 of the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC Treaty) by which
the undertakings ThyssenKrupp Materials AG (ThyssenKrupp, Germany) and Bitros Holding SA (Bitros,
Greece) acquire, within the meaning of Article 66 of the ECSC Treaty joint control of a joint venture in
Greece by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

(cid:151) ThyssenKrupp: manufacture and distribution of steel products, engineering, logistics,

(cid:151) Bitros: distribution of carbon steel products, manufacture and distribution of steel tubes.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within

Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1) and the Commission notice concerning alignment of procedures for
processing mergers under the ECSC and EC Treaties (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate
