Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.4244 — Ravago/Muehlstein)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2006/C 160/05)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 29 June 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 Ravago S.A (‘Ravago’,
Luxembourg) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the
whole of the undertaking Muehlstein Holding Corporation (‘Muehlstein’, USA) by way of purchase of
shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Ravago: distribution, recycling and compounding of polymers, ancillary manufacture of some plas-

tics and construction material and distribution of construction materials mainly in Europe;

— for Muehlstein: distribution and compounding of polymers in all major regions worldwide with a focus

on North and South America.

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

operation to the Commission.

Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication.
