Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.4886 — Petroplus/Shell French Refineries)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 294/10)

1.
On 28 November 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 undertaking Petroplus Marketing AG
(‘Petroplus’, Switzerland) controlled by Petroplus Holdings AG (‘Petroplus Holding’, Switzerland) acquires
within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of the Petit Couronne
and Reichstett Refineries of Shell Sociéte des Pétroles Shell SAS (‘Shell French Refineries’, France) by way of
purchase of assets.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Petroplus: acquisition vehicle,

— for Petroplus Holding: refining, storing, marketing and international trading of crude oil and other petro-

leum products,

— for Shell French Refineries: refinery of crude oil and wholesale marketing of fuels.

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

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 ((32-2) 296 43 01 or 296 72 44) or by post, under
