Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2011/C 64/09






1.


On 17 February 2011 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Orangina Schweppes, France, controlled by the Suntory Group, Japan, acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of the whole of the undertaking Européenne d'Embouteillage, France, by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for Suntory Group: manufacture and marketing of foodstuffs, diet drinks and non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages; also catering services and other activities related to health, nature and wellness in Japan, Asia, America and the Oceania region. The Suntory Group does limited business in Europe in the alcoholic beverages market,










—


for Orangina Group: manufacture and marketing of non-alcoholic beverages (except for colas) in various countries, particularly in Europe,










—


for Européenne d'Embouteillage: manufacture of non-alcoholic beverages in France.

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.
