Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.2869 — Mitsubishi/Nissho Iwai/JV)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2002/C 251/08)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 11 October 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 undertakings Mitsubishi Corporation (Mitsubishi, Japan) and Nissho Iwai Corporation (Nissho
Iwai, Japan) acquires, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation, joint control of the under-
taking Metal One (JV, Japan) by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint
venture.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— Mitsubishi: new business initiatives, IT and electronics, energy, metals, machinery, chemicals, foods,

textiles and others. Through its metals group, active in the sale of steel products;

— Nissho Iwai: machinery, metals, energy, chemicals, consumer products and construction and urban

development. Through its metals group, active in the sale of steel products;

— JV: trading of fabricated and semi-fabricated steel products.

3.
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within
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.
