Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.5069 — Tata Motors/Jaguar/Land Rover)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2008/C 84/07)

1.
On 26 March 2008, 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 Tata Motors Limited (‘Tata
Motors’, India) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the
Jaguar and Land Rover business (‘JLR’) from the Ford Motor Company (‘Ford’) by way of purchase of shares
and assets.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Tata Motors: manufacturing of passenger cars, commercial vehicles and buses, primarily in India, and

some limited sales of light commercial vehicles and passenger cars in the EEA,

— for JLR: Jaguar, which was acquired by Ford in 1989, is a manufacturer of mainly luxury passenger cars.
Land Rover, which was acquired by Ford from BMW in 2000, is a manufacturer of mainly sports utility
vehicles (SUVs).

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
