On 23 August 2005, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant

Islands) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of the
undertaking Framatome Connectors International (‘FCI’, France), belonging to the Areva Group, by way of
purchase of shares.
