1.


On 18 October 2010, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which GDF Suez Energia Italia SpA (‘GSEI’, Italy) belonging to GDF Suez SA (‘GDFS’, France) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of (i) Acea Electrabel Produzione (‘AEP’, Italy), and of (ii) Acea Electrabel Trading (‘AET’, Italy) both currently belonging to Acea Electrabel (‘AE’, Italy), a joint venture between GSEI and Acea SpA (‘Acea’, Italy), by way of purchase of shares. A number of AEP production assets will be transferred to Acea prior to the closing of the transaction.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for GDFS: present across the entire energy chain, in electricity and in natural gas,










—
