Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2011/C 141/14






1.


On 3 May 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 undertakings Holcim Grondstoffen B.V. (‘Holcim’, the Netherlands), controlled by the Holcim Group (Switzerland), and Basalt Union GmbH (‘Basalt’, Germany) belonging to the Werhahn group, acquire(s) within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the undertaking H + B Grondstoffen C.V. (‘the JV’, the Netherlands) by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for Holcim: trading of aggregates in the Netherlands. The Holcim Group is active in the manufacturing and distribution of cement, production, processing and distribution of aggregates, ready-mixed concrete, pre-cast concrete products and asphalt,










—
