Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.3656 — Achmea/Athlon/PartsPlan JV)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2005/C 23/05)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 19 January 2005, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertakings Achmea Schadeservice
B.V., belonging to the Achmea Holding N.V. group (‘Achmea’, Netherlands) and Athlon Beheer Nederland
B.V., belonging to the Athlon Holding N.V. group, (‘Athlon’, Netherlands), acquire within the meaning of
Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control of the undertaking PartsPlan B.V. (‘PartsPlan’, Nether-
lands), by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Achmea: retail and private banking, insurance, project financing, asset management, venture capital,

— for Athlon: leasing of motor vehicles, car damage repair,

— for PartsPlan: procurement of new replacement parts for cars.

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) 296 43 01 or 296 72 44) or by post,
