1.


On 8 March 2011, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Ageas Insurance International N.V. (‘Ageas Insurance International’, the Netherlands), controlled by Ageas (‘Ageas’, Belgium/the Netherlands) and H.Ö. Sabancı Holding A.S. (‘Sabancı’, Turkey) acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation, joint control of Aksigorta A.S. (‘Aksigorta’, Turkey) by way of a purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for Ageas Insurance International: insurance sector (life and non-life) in Europe and in Asia (excluding Turkey),
