Prior notification of a concentration
(Case COMP/M.6182 — MAN/MAN Camions et Bus/MAN Truck & Bus Belgium)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2011/C 101/11






1.


On 21 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 the undertaking MAN Truck & Bus AG (‘MAN Truck & Bus’, Germany), controlled by MAN SE (‘MAN’, Germany) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of the whole of MAN Camions et Bus S.A.S. (‘MAN Camions et Bus’, France) and MAN Truck and Bus N.V./S.A. (‘MAN Truck and Bus Belgium’, Belgium) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


MAN: development, manufacture and sale of trucks, buses and coaches, chassis and floor assemblies for buses, industrial and marine engines, diesel engines, turbo-machines and industrial services,










—


MAN Camions et Bus: sale and after sale services of trucks, buses and coaches and the sale of chassis for coaches and (as a genuine agent) the sale of truck (diesel) engines and spare parts thereof,










—


MAN Truck & Bus Belgium: sale and after sale services of trucks, buses and coaches and (as a genuine agent) the sale of truck (diesel) engines and spare parts thereof.














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.










4.


The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed operation to the Commission.
Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication. Observations can be sent to the Commission by fax (+32 22964301), by email to COMP-MERGER-REGISTRY@ec.europa.eu or by post, under reference number COMP/M.6182 — MAN/MAN Camions et Bus/MAN Truck & Bus Belgium, to the following address:
