On 6 July 2006, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to

which the undertaking Iveco International Trade Finance SA (‘IITF’, Italy) belonging to the group IVECO,
which is itself controlled by the group FIAT, acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council
Regulation control of the whole of AFIN Leasing A.G. (‘AFIN’, Austria) by way of purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for IITF: trading of IVECO commercial vehicles in East European Countries;
