1.
On 30 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 undertakings Dexia Crédit Local (‘Dexia
CL’, France), controlled by Dexia S.A. (‘Dexia’, Belgium), and Kommunalkredit Austria AG (‘Kommunalk-
redit’, Austria), controlled by Österreichische Volksbanken AG (‘ÖVAG’, Austria), acquire within the
meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control of the undertakings Dexia Kommunalk-
redit Bank AG (‘Dexia-Kom’, Austria) and Kommunalkredit Finance a.s. (KF, Czech Republic) by way of
purchase of shares. Currently, Dexia-Kom is controlled by Dexia CL and KF is controlled by Kommunalk-
redit.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Dexia and ÖVAG: financial services;

Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the
