Prior notification of a concentration
(Case COMP/M.7049 — CD&R/Harsco Infrastructure)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
2013/C 292/04






1.


On 30 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 Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund IX, LP, controlled by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (‘CD&R’, USA), acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of the Infrastructure Division of Harsco Corporation (‘Harsco Infrastructure’, USA) by way of purchase of shares and assets.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


CD&R is a US based private equity investment group which originates, structures and frequently acts as lead equity investor in management buyouts, strategic minority investments and other strategic investments,










—


Harsco Infrastructure is currently one of the four business divisions of Harsco Corporation. It provides scaffolding, shoring, concrete forming and other access-related services for construction projects as well as industrial project engineering, equipement rental and installation services worldwide.

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.

Question referred

In the light of Annex III to Directive 2004/33/EC, (1) does the fact that a man has sexual relations with another man constitute in itself sexual behaviour placing him at a high risk of acquiring severe infectious diseases that can be transmitted by blood and justifying a permanent deferral from blood donation for persons having engaged in that sexual behaviour, or is it merely capable of constituting, in the light of the circumstances of the individual case, sexual behaviour placing him at a risk of acquiring infectious diseases that can be transmitted by blood and justifying a temporary deferral from blood donation for a period determined after the cessation of the risk behaviour?


(1)  Commission Directive 2004/33/EC of 22 March 2004 implementing Directive 2002/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards certain technical requirements for blood and blood components (OJ 2004 L 91, p. 25).
