Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.5302 — NTT Data/Cirquent)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2008/C 218/09)

1.
On 19 August 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 NTT Data Corporation
(‘NTT Data’, Japan) belonging to the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation Group (‘NTT’, Japan)
acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of the under-
taking Cirquent GmbH (‘Cirquent’, Germany) by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for NTT: telecommunications and IT services,

— for NTT Data: IT services,

— for Cirquent: IT services.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the
3.
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.
