1.
On 17 October 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 undertakings American International
Group Inc (‘AIG’ USA), and Global Infrastructure Partners — A, L.P. (‘GIP’ USA) [jointly controlled by
General Electric (‘GE’, USA), the Credit Suisse Group (‘CSG’, Switzerland) and Global Infrastructure Manage-
ment Participation LLC (‘GIMP’, USA)], acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regu-
lation joint control of the whole of Stratfield Limited (‘Stratfield’ UK) by way of purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for AIG: insurance and insurance-related activities;
