(Case COMP/M.3596 — THYSSENKRUPP/HDW)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2004/C 266/05)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 19 October 2004, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertaking ThyssenKrupp AG
(‘ThyssenKrupp’, Germany) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation
control of the whole of the undertaking Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft AG (‘HDW’), controlled by One
Equity Partners LLC (‘OEP’, USA),
itself belonging to the J.P. Morgan Chase Corporation, by way of
purchase of shares. By invoking Article 296(1)b of the EC Treaty, the German ministry for economic
affairs has ordered ThyssenKrupp not to notify the military part of this transaction to the European
Commission.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for ThyssenKrupp: active in numerous industries including steel, mechanical engineering, plant
construction, elevators, plastic products and car parts. Its Blohm& Voss and Nordseewerke Emden ship-
yards are active in design, supply and repair of civil and military vessels,

— for HDW: civil shipbuilding (passenger- and container ships, yachts), military shipbuilding (submarines
and naval surface vessels) and ship repair services through shipyards in Germany, Sweden (Kockums )
and Greece (Hellenic Shipyard),

— for OEP: financial investments in various industries.

3.
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the
scope of Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. 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 (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the
procedure set out in the Notice.

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

4.
operation to the Commission.

Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication.
Observations can be sent to the Commission by fax (No +32/2/2964301 or 2967244) or by post, under
