Final report of the Hearing Officer in case COMP/M.2650 — Haniel/Cementbouw/JV (CVK)

(pursuant to Article 15 of Commission Decision 2001/462/EC, ECSC of 23 May 2001 on the terms
of reference of Hearing Officers in certain competition proceedings (OJ L 162, 19.6.2001, p. 21))

(2003/C 261/02)

(Text with EEA relevance)

The draft decision in the present case gives rise to the following observations:

The concentration in question was notified to the Commission by Franz Haniel & Cie GmbH (‘Haniel’) and
Cementbouw Handel Industrie BV (‘Cementbouw’).

On 25 April 2002, the Commission sent out a statement of objections based on Article 8(3) and 8(4) of
Council Regulation (EEC) No 406/89 (the ‘Merger Regulation’) to these parties and, exceptionally, in the
light of the specific facts of the case, also to Coöperatieve Verkoop en Produktievereniging van Kalk-
zandsteen producenten (‘CVK’), the joint venture jointly controlled by the parties. In this way, CVK was
granted the opportunity to make full use of its rights of defence given that it expressed the view to the
Commission that it is not controlled by Haniel and Cementbouw.

Haniel, Cementbouw and CVK each replied to the statement of objections (Haniel on 11 May 2002 and
the others parties on 13 May 2002). At the request of the three parties, an oral hearing was held on 16
May 2002, in which one interested third party also participated.

Subsequent to commitments offered by Haniel and Cementbouw, the Commission proposes a draft
decision based on Article 8(2) of the Merger Regulation (clearance with conditions and obligations).
The draft decision is addressed to Haniel, Cementbouw and CVK.

In the light of the outcome as described above, I conclude that the rights of defence have been fully
respected. The draft decision deals only with objections in respect of which the parties have been afforded
the opportunity of making known their views.
