Communication relating to multiple complaint 2002/4383

Proposal to close the case

(2005/C 248/03)

From its correspondence with the Spanish authorities, the Commission has learned that part of the explora-
tory operations involved in this case had already been carried out in 2003 and that the second stage is still
awaiting authorisation The Spanish authorities have confirmed that, before the granting of authorisation,
the operations had been and will be subject to an impact evaluation study. An environmental management
plan and an environmental incidents plan will also be prepared in order to minimise their effect on the
environment. Not enough information is available to the Commission to enable it to establish beyond
doubt that there is no cause-and-effect relationship between the proposed exploration and cetacean life.
Moreover, the evaluation operations and the management plans provided for by the Spanish authorities
should help identify and minimise any negative effects the projects could have on the species of marine
mammals in the area. For these reasons, the Commission will take a decision to close the case at one of its
forthcoming meetings. However, any additional factual information pointing to an infringement will be
taken into account by the Commission.

Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.3988 — BC Funds/Fitness First)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2005/C 248/04)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 29 September 2005, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration
pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which certain private equity funds
(BC Funds) who are managed by CIE Management II Limited (‘CIEM’, Channel Islands), controlled by BC
Partners Holdings Limited, acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control
of the whole of Fitness First Holdings Limited (‘Fitness First’, UK) by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for CIEM: general partner and manager of the BC Funds, which are themselves private equity funds and

certain co-investors;

— for Fitness First: operator of health and fitness clubs in several countries.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the
3.
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,
