Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.7597 — Sabadell/TSB)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2015/C 139/03)






1.


On 20 April 2015, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Banco de Sabadell, SA (‘Sabadell’, Spain) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation, sole control of TSB Banking Group plc (‘TSB’, the United Kingdom), by way of a public bid.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for Sabadell: provision of banking and insurance services mainly in Spain,
—   for TSB: provision of retail banking services to individuals and of corporate banking services to small and medium-sized enterprises and credit card payment services in the United Kingdom.










3.


On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the 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 Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (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.
