On 2 May 2002 the Commission received a notification of a joint venture agreement pursuant to

joint venture company, C4Gas, the
The Parties have agreed to establish a cooperative non-structural
purpose of which is to improve purchasing processes, to reduce costs and to introduce greater efficiencies
in the procurement and supply chain activities,
including offering the Parties the possibility to coop-
eratively procure certain products and services relating to gas transportation.

The products that the Parties intend to jointly purchase are: chemical products (gas odorant — THT and
TBM/DMS — and mono-ethylene glycol), industrial gas meters, transmission construction services, trans-
mission installation construction services, steel pipes, steel fittings, plastic pipes, plastic fittings, rotating
equipment, rotating equipment maintenance, flow valves, control valves, control and regulation systems.

2.
C4Gas is not a B2B open market place, as the Parties (and potentially one or two other companies)
will be the only ‘buyers’ to use the venture for their cooperative sourcing requirements. Non-procurement
services will be offered to third parties.

Upon preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified cooperation agreement could

fall within the scope of Regulation No 17.
