the undertaking Transportes Ferroviarios Especiales, SA (‘Transfesa’, Spain) by way of purchase of shares.

— for DB: passenger transport (rail), freight transport (rail and road), freight forwarding, logistics and ancil-

lary services,

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

Whereas:

Article 41(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No

concluded in 2008 on the basis of the following elements:

— EUR 15,62 for fixed storage costs,
