Statement on Council Regulation (EC) No 851/2005 of 2 June 2005 amending Regulation (EC) No
539/2001 as regards the reciprocity mechanism (1)

(2005/C 172/01)

The Council and the Commission stress that the mechanism which is the subject of this Regulation, accom-
panied where necessary by provisional introduction of the visa requirement for a third country which
imposes a visa requirement for nationals from one or more Member States, in no way prevents the applica-
tion of other provisional measures to such a third country in one or more other fields (particularly poli-
tical, economic or commercial fields) in accordance with the relevant legal basis or bases in the Treaties if
such measures would be deemed an advisable part of the strategy to be implemented to induce the third
country to restore visa-free travel for nationals from the Member State or States concerned.

The Council and the Commission consider that, when one or other of the notifications provided for in
Articles 1 and 2 of this Regulation occurs, due consideration should be given in the appropriate fora to the
advisability of such other measures.

Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.3857 — SITA/Flughafen Düsseldorf/FDITG)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2005/C 172/08)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 1 July 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 SITA Information
Networking Computing BV (‘SITA’, The Netherlands) and Flughafen Düsseldorf GmbH (‘Flughafen Düssel-
dorf’, Germany), acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control of
Flughafen Düsseldorf Informationstechnologie GmbH (‘FDITG’, Germany), currently solely controlled by
Flughafen Düsseldorf, by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for undertaking SITA: provision of information and telecommunications services to global air transport

and related industries,

— for undertaking Flughafen Düsseldorf: operates Düsseldorf airport in Germany,

— for undertaking FDITG: provision and marketing of IT and telecommunications services for the campus

of the Düsseldorf airport and business park ‘Airport City’.

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,
