On 13 October 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 Gazprom Finance B.V.
controlled by Gazprom (‘Gazprom’, Russia) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council
Regulation control of the whole of the undertaking Siberian Oil Company (‘Sibneft’, Russia) by way of
purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Gazprom: exploration, production, transportation, refining and marketing of natural gas and petro-

chemical products;

— for Sibneft: exploration of oil and gas, production, refining and marketing of oil and oil products and

the sale of certain petrochemical products.

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

Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No
1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton
is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned
cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to
the historical relationship between the price recorded for
ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton.
That historical relationship has been established in Article
2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2
August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the
cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price
cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on
the most recent price determined.

for adjusting the criteria for determining the world
