On 22 November 2001 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
1.
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 Commercial Union Vita SpA (CU Vita, Italy) belonging to the
CGNU group (UK) acquires, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation, control of the
whole of the undertaking Risparmio Vita Assicurazioni SpA (RVA, Italy) by way of purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

(cid:151) CU Vita: life insurance in Italy,

(cid:151) CGNU: general and life insurance worldwide,
