Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2006/C 286/02)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 15 November 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 MEIF II
Energie Beteiligungen GmbH & Co. KG (‘MEIF II KG’, Germany), ultimately owned, controlled and
managed by the Macquarie Bank Limited (‘Macquarie’, Australia), acquires sole control within the meaning
of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation of the whole of Techem AG (‘TECHEM’, Germany), a German
public listed company, by way of a public takeover offer under the German Takeover Act, announced on
11 November 2006, intending to acquire all the shares of TECHEM.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for MEIF II KG: a German limited partnership, active in the acquisition, holding, administration and
sale of participations in other companies or their assets as well as all related actions and legal transac-
tions;

— for Macquarie: a diversified international provider of specialist

financial and investment banking

services;

— for TECHEM: active in the business of sub-metering of utilities consumption and the market for energy

contracting.

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
