On 6 December 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 Koninklijke BAM Groep
N.V. (‘BAM’, Netherlands) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control
of the whole of the undertaking AM N.V. (‘AM’, Netherlands) by way of public bid.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for undertaking BAM: construction, property, civil engineering, mechanical and electrical contracting;

— for undertaking AM: development of residential property, land, retail centres and offices.

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
