Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.3630 — Veolia/BVAG)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2004/C 289/02)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 15 November 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 Veolia Water
Deutschland GmbH (‘Veolia’, Germany) controlled by Veolia Environment S.A. (France) acquires within the
meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of the undertaking Braunsch-
weiger Versorgungs-AG (‘BVAG’, Germany) by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Veolia: supply of water; disposal of waste water; development and running of water-works and

related facilities,

— for BVAG: generation and trade of electricity and distribution of electricity, gas, water and district

heating.

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
