Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.4607 — INM/Providence/CAP II/APN)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 62/08)

1.
On 6 March 2007, 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 Independent News &
Media PLC (‘INM’, Ireland), Providence Equity Partners VI International L.P. (‘Providence’, US) and Carlyle
Asia Partners II LP (‘CAP II’, US) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation
joint control of the undertaking APN News & Media Limited (‘APN’, Australia) by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for INM: publishing of national and regional newspapers;

— for Providence: private investment fund;

— for Carlyle: private equity fund;

— for APN: publishing of daily and non-daily regional/national newspapers and magazines, radio broad-

casting, outdoor advertising and provision of online services.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the
3.
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

operation to the Commission.
