manganomanganic oxide does not present a risk to
animal health, human health or the environment.

Article 1

Manganomanganic oxide belonging to the group ‘trace
elements’, listed in the Annex to this Regulation, is authorised
for use as an additive in feedingstuffs under the conditions laid

Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.3174 — Scottish & Newcastle/Parfil)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2003/C 118/07)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 12 May 2003, 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 British undertaking Scottish & Newcastle plc (‘S & N’) acquires within the meaning of Article
3(1)(b) of that Regulation control of whole of the Portuguese undertaking Paril — Sociedade Gestora de
Partipações Sociais, SA (‘Parfil’) by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— S & N: brewing, wholesale, distribution and retail sale of beer and other beverages,

— Parfil: holding company with a 51 % participation in the Protuguese brewer Sociedade Central de
Cervezas SA (jointly controlled by S & N) and 100 % participation in Sociedade da Àgua do Luso
SA primarily active in the bottled water business.

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 Council
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.
