Großflächengesellschaft mbH (‘Rewe’, Germany), belonging to Rewe group acquires within the meaning of
Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of Fegro/Selgros Gesellschaft für Großhandel
mbH & Co. (‘Fegro/Selgros’, Germany) by way of purchase of shares. Fegro/Selgros business is currently
jointly controlled by Rewe and Otto GmbH & Co KG.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Rewe: retail and wholesale of daily consumer goods, tourism, mainly in Germany,

Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the
