Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.3900 — CVC/Wavin)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2005/C 188/03)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 25 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 undertaking CVC Capital Partner
Group Sarl (CVC, Luxemburg) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation
control of the whole of the undertaking Beheermaatschappij Wavin B.V. (Wavin, Netherlands) by way of
purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for CVC: investment fund,

— for Wavin: manufacture and supply of pipe systems.

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,
