Prior notification of a concentration

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2006/C 62/02)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 7 March 2006, 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 Jacobs Holding AG (‘JAG’,
Switzerland) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole
of the undertaking Adecco SA (‘Adecco’, Switzerland) by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for JAG: investment company;

— for Adecco: global provider of human resource and staffing services, including temporary employment

services.

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
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.
