On 30 June 2005, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to

Holding GmbH (‘G+J’, Germany) belonging to the group Bertelsmann AG (Germany) and Vecerniji List d.d.
(‘Vecerniji’, Croatia) belonging to the Styria Medien Group (‘Styria Medien’, Austria) acquire within the
meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control of the undertaking JV by way of contri-
bution of capital in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.
