Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.3789 — Johnson Controls/Robert Bosch/Delphi SLI)

(2005/C 134/03)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 26/05/2005, 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 Johnson Controls Inc.
(‘JCI’, USA) and Robert Bosch GmbH (‘Bosch’ Germany) acquire, through the intermediary of VB Autobat-
terien GmbH (‘VB’, Germany), within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control
of the European Starting, Lighting and Ignition automotive battery business of the Delphi Corporation
(‘Delphi SLI’) by way of purchase of assets.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for JCI: global supplier of automotive (seating, interior and batteries) and building control systems,

— for Robert Bosch: supplier of automotive technology, power tools, security, automation and packaging

technology,

— for VB: automotive battery joint venture of JCI and Robert Bosch,

— for Delphi SLI: Starting, Lighting and Ignition lead acid automotive batteries.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the

3.
scope of Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. However, the final decision on this point is reserved.

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,

Opinion of the Advisory Committee on concentrations given at its 120th meeting held on 3
november 2003 concerning a preliminary draft Decision relating to Case COMP/M.2621 — SEB/
Moulinex (II)

(2005/C 134/07)

I. The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission on the following points:

1. the merger operation constitutes a concentration within the meaning of Article (1)(b) of Regulation

(EEC) No 4064/89 on the control of concentrations having a Community dimension;

2. the merger has a Community dimension within the meaning of Article 1(3) of Regulation (EEC) No

4064/89 on the control of concentrations having a Community dimension;

3. the relevant product markets affected by the concentration may be defined as follows:

(a) deep fryers;

(b) mini ovens;

(c) toasters;

(d) sandwich and waffle makers;

(e) appliances for informal meals;

(f) electric barbecues and indoor grills;

(g) rice cookers and steam cookers;

(h) electric filter coffee makers;

(i) kettles;

(j) espresso coffee machines;

(k) blenders and food preparation appliances;

(l) irons and ironing stations;

(m) personal care appliances;

4. the relevant geographic markets are national, with the exception of the United Kingdom and

Ireland, which form a single market;

5. subject to the continued implementation of the commitments which were proposed under the
Commission Decision of 8 January 2002, the merger does not create or strengthen a dominant
position on the relevant geographic markets and is compatible with the common market and with
the EEA Agreement.

II. The Advisory Committee recommends the publication of its opinion in the Official Journal of the Euro-

pean Union.

III. The Advisory Committee asks the Commission to take into account the other points raised during the

discussion.

Final report of the Hearing Officer in Case COMP/M.2621 — SEB/Moulinex

(pursuant to Article 15 of Commission decision 2001/462/3C, ECSC of 23 may 2001 on the terms
of reference of Hearing Officers in certain competition proceedings — OJ L 162, 19.6.2001, p. 21)

(2005/C 134/06)

On 13 November 2001 the Commission received notification, under Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC)
No 4064/89 of 21 December 1989 on the control of concentrations between undertakings (‘the Merger
Regulation’), of a transaction whereby a part of the assets of the French company Moulinex was to be
acquired by another French company, SEB. On 8 January 2002 the Commission decided not to oppose to
the transaction notified and to declare it compatible with the common market and the EEA Agreement,
subject to compliance with certain commitments which formed an integral part of the decision. This deci-
sion, adopted under Article 6(1)(b) and Article 6(2) of the Merger Regulation, authorised the transaction
with respect to its effects outside France. The French authorities had requested that part of the case be
referred to them, and by a decision likewise adopted on 8 January 2002, under Article 9 of the Merger
Regulation, the Commission referred the French aspects of the case to the French authorities.

On 3 April 2003 the Court of First Instance annulled the Commission's authorising decision with respect
to five countries where no remedies had been required (Spain, Finland, Italy, the United Kingdom and
Ireland). The Commission then reopened the first phase of investigation.

In accordance with Article 10(5) of the Merger Regulation, the date on which the notification and the time
limits which depend on it now took effect was 3 April 2003.

On 23 May 2003 the Commission concluded that the commitments offered by SEB did not overcome the
serious doubts as to the compatibility of the transaction with the common market, and decided to initiate
formal proceedings under Article 6(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation.

Those proceedings were suspended on 19 June 2003 by a decision under Article 11 of the Merger Regu-
lation. SEB supplied a full reply, and the proceedings resumed on 1 August 2003. The time limit for a deci-
sion under Article 8 of the Merger Regulation is consequently 25 November 2003. The conclusion from
the detailed market surveys now carried out is that no commitments other than those entered into in the
earlier proceedings were needed in order to prevent the creation or strengthening of a dominant position.
For this reason no statement of objections has been sent to the parties.

I consider that the undertakings' right to be heard has been respected in this case.
