1.
On 8 September 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 TOTAL S.A. (‘TOTAL’,
France) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of
the undertaking Compañía Española de Petróleos S.A.(‘Cepsa’, Spain) by way of purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are :

— for TOTAL: activities linked to the production of petrol and gas, refining, distribution of petroleum,

petrochemical products and chemical specialties;

— for Cepsa: production of petrol and gas, refining, distribution of petroleum and petrochemical

products.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the

Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the
