Prior notification of a concentration
(Case COMP/M.7039 — PGGM/GDF SUEZ/EBN/NOGAT)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2013/C 277/12






1.


On 17 September 2013, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which PGGM Vermogensbeheer (‘PGGM’, The Netherlands), GDF SUEZ (‘GDF SUEZ’, France) and Energie Beheer Nederland (‘EBN’, The Netherlands) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of Northern Offshore Gas Transport (‘NOGAT’, The Netherlands) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for PGGM: provision of services in the field of pension fund management, comprehensive asset management, management support and policy advice to various pension funds in The Netherlands,










—


for GDF SUEZ: active throughout the entire energy value chain of natural gas and electricity both inside and outside the European Union,










—


for EBN: active in the exploration, production, storage and trading of natural gas and oil in The Netherlands,










—


for NOGAT: active in the operation of the Northern Offshore Upstream Gas Pipeline System (including the related pipeline terminal and gas treatment plant), which transports and treats natural gas and condensates produced from offshore gas fields in the North Sea.














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.
