Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M. 3852 — Hyundai Motor Company/Hyundai Car UK Ltd)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2005/C 141/06)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 3 June 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 undertaking Hyundai Motor Company
(‘HMC’, South Korea) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of
the whole of the UK based undertakings Hyundai Car (UK) Limited (‘HCUK’), Hyundai Car Sales Limited
(‘HCS’) and MSS Automotive Services Limited (‘MSS’) (together ‘the Target’), by way of purchase of assets.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for HMC: manufacturer of motor vehicles world wide,

— for the Target: wholesale distribution of passenger cars and related spare parts in the UK.

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.
