On 17 June 2014, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Russian Machines RM (‘Russian Machines’ of the Russian Federation), ultimately controlled by Basic Element (of the Russian Federation) and Fritzmeier Auslandsholding GmbH & Co. KG (‘Fritzmeier’ of Germany), ultimately controlled by the Fritzmeier Group (of Germany), acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control over a newly created joint venture (‘JV’, Russian Federation).

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for Russian Machines: active in the Russian Federation as manufacturer of a broad range of civilian machines and equipment,
