On 6 November 2003 the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No

Electrabel SA, acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation the progressive control of
part of the electricity and gas supply business of Sibelga by way of purchase of assets.
