Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.3504 — UTC/IHI/JV)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2004/C 174/18)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1. On 28 June 2004, the Commission received a notification
to Article 4 of
of a proposed concentration pursuant
Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2), by which the United
States undertaking United Technologies Corporation (UTC)
and the Japanese company Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy
industries (IHI) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b)
of the Council Regulation joint control of a newly created
company, constituting a joint venture (JV).

2. The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for UTC:

industrial

conglomerate with

activities
including elevators
(Otis), HVAC (Carrier), Security
products and services (Chubb), commercial and military
jet
systems
(Hamilton Sundstrand),

(Pratt & Whitney) and flight

engines

— for IHI: industrial conglomerate with activities including
industrial machinery and aero-

logistics,

shipbuilding,
engines,

— for the JV: manufacture and sale of air compressors in

the Republic of China.

3. On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the
notified concentration could fall within the scope of Regu-
lation (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 concen-
trations in accordance with 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.

4. The Commission invites interested third parties to submit
their possible observations on the proposed operation to the
Commission.

Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10
days following the date of this publication. Observations
