Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2008/C 3/05)

1.
On 20 December 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 Triton Managers II
Limited (‘Triton’, Jersey) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of
the undertaking Ruetgers Chemicals (‘Ruetgers’, Germany) currently controlled by Evonik Industries AG by
way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Triton: private equity,

— for Ruetgers: coal tar chemical company mainly active in the production and refining of basic aromatics.

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
