Prior notification of a concentration
(Case COMP/M.5788 — Sharp/Enel Green Power/JV)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2010/C 61/07






1.


On 5 March 2010, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Enel Green Power S.p.A. (‘Enel Green Power’, Italy) controlled by Enel S.p.A. (collectively with its subsidiaries ‘Enel group’, Italy) and Sharp Corporation (‘Sharp’, Japan) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the EC Merger Regulation joint control of IPP JV a newly created company constituting a joint venture, by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for Enel Group: generation and distribution of energy,










—


for Sharp: manufacturing and distribution of consumer and IT products,










—


for IPP JV: generation and supply of electricity.














3.


On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the EC Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under the EC Merger Regulation (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.
