Opinion of the Advisory Committee on concentrations given at its 128th meeting on 23 September
2004 concerning a preliminary Draft Decision in case COMP/M.3099 — Areva/Urenco/ETC

(2006/C 52/04)

1) The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the notified operation constitutes a concen-

tration within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation.

2) The Advisory Committee agrees that the relevant product market definitions given in the draft decision

namely:

a) supply of equipment to enrich uranium

b) enriched uranium

are correct.

3) The Advisory Committee agrees with the geographic market definitions given in the draft decision

concerning the following markets:

a) supply of equipment to enrich uranium as worldwide

b) enriched uranium as European or wider, but left open.

4) The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that the proposed concentration could lead to
the creation of a joint dominant position for Areva and Urenco on the hypothetical EU enrichment
market within the meaning of Art. 2(3) of the Merger Regulation.

5) The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission that there is a risk that the creation of the joint
venture could have as its effect the coordination of the parties' competitive behaviour in uranium
enrichment on either the EU or wider market, in the sense of Article 2(4) of the Merger Regulation.

6) The majority of the Advisory Committee believes that the commitments submitted on 3 September
2004 by the parties remove the serious doubts raised in the case and make the concentration compa-
tible with the common market.

7) The Advisory Committee agrees with the publication of its opinion in the Official Journal of the European

Union.

8) A minority of Member States in agreeing to these Commitments clarified their position by reference to
the ‘serious doubts’ status of the decision, and also by reference to the specificities of the nuclear
industry, which is highly regulated.

9) The Advisory Committee asks the Commission to take into account all the other points raised during

the discussion.
