Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.4327 — Egis/Alpine/Hochtief-Austrian Highway A5)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2006/C 188/02)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 3 August 2006, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Egis Projects S.A. (‘Egis Projects’, France),
Alpine Mayderer Bau GmbH (‘Alpine’, Austria) and HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions GmbH (‘HOCHTIEF PPP’,
Germany), acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control of Bona-
ventura Straßenerhaltungs-GmbH (‘Bonaventura Straßenerhaltung’, Austria) by way of purchase of shares
in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Egis Projects: investment participations in infrastructure projects and concession contracts; negoti-

ates and manages all financial, technical and operational stages of infrastructure projects,

— for Alpine: construction company in the field of building constructions, road constructions, construc-

tional engineering and tunnelling and communications engineering sector,

— for HOCHTIEF PPP: services for large and complex Public Private Partnerships projects in the segment

of toll roads and public-sector construction,

— for Bonaventura Straßenerhaltung: maintenance of motorway infrastructure and operation of electronic

and security equipment.

3.
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration 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.

Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication.
Observations can be sent to the Commission by fax (No (32-2) 296 43 01 or 296 72 44) or by post,
