Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.2746 — Volkswagen/Svenska Volkswagen)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2002/C 106/06)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 25 April 2002 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 Volkswagen AG (‘VWAG’, Germany) acquires within the meaning of Article
3(1)(b) of that Regulation control of the whole of the undertaking Svenska Volkswagen AB (‘SVW’,
Sweden) by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— VWAG: developing, manufacturing and marketing of passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and

related spare parts and accessories,

— SVW: exclusive wholesale distributor for the Volkswagen, Audi, Seat and Skoda motor vehicles as well

as Porsche motor vehicles in Sweden.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within
3.
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
the procedure set out in the notice.

The Commission invites interested third parties to submit

Opinion of the Advisory Committee on Concentrations given at its 95th meeting on 8 June 2001
concerning a preliminary draft decision relating to Case COMP/M.2201 — MAN/Auwärter

(2002/C 106/04)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the notified operation constitutes a concen-
tration within the meaning of the Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation, and that the notified
operation has a Community dimension as defined by the Article 1(2) of the Merger Regulation.

2. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the relevant product markets are

(a) city buses;

(b) intercity buses; and

(c) touring coaches.

3. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that significant factors point to the existence of

national markets, but that the exact geographic market definition can be left open.

4. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the concentration does not lead to the
creation or strengthening of a single dominant position in Germany or in other parts of the European
Economic Area.

5. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the concentration does not lead to the

creation of a dominant duopoly on the German market for city buses.

6. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the notified concentration should be

declared compatible with the common market and the functioning of the EEA Agreement.

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

8. The Advisory Committee recommends the publication of its opinion in the Official

Journal of

the

European Communities.
