(Case COMP/M.6373 — Sungwoo/Mitsubishi/Sungwoo CZ/Sungwoo SK)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2011/C 278/11






1.


On 13 September 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 Mitsubishi Corporation (‘Mitsubishi’, Japan) and Sungwoo Hitech Company Limited (‘Sungwoo’, Korea) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the undertakings Sungwoo Hitech s.r.o (‘Sungwoo CZ’, the Czech Republic) and Sungwoo Hitech Slovakia s.r.o (‘Sungwoo SK’, Slovakia) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for Mitsubishi: general trading activities in various industries, including energy, metals, machinery, chemicals, food and general merchandise,










—


for Sungwoo: development and production of metal components and assemblies for the automotive industry,










—


for Sungwoo CZ and Sungwoo SK: manufacturing and supply of flat-rolled steel components for the coachwork of light passenger vehicles.

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.
