1.


On 2 July 2014, 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 Fortum Corporation (‘Fortum’, of Finland) and OAO Gazprom (‘Gazprom’, of Russia) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the undertakings AS Eesti Gaas (‘EG’, of Estonia) and AS Vörguteenus Valdus (‘Valdus’, of Estonia) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


Fortum is a Finnish-based energy group, primarily active in the Nordic countries and other areas of the Baltic, whose core business covers the generation, distribution and the sale of electricity and heat, the operation and maintenance of power plants, as well as energy-related services;










—


Gazprom is a Russian-based energy group active in the exploration, production, transportation, refining and marketing of natural gas and petrochemical products;

—


Valdus is a public limited company established in Estonia that fulfils the role of gas transmission system operator (‘TSO’) in Estonia.














3.
