(Case M.7523 — CMA CGM/OPDR)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2015/C 179/08)






1.


On 22 May 2015, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 and following a referral pursuant to Article 4(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertaking CMA CGM SA (‘CMA CGM’, France), controlled by Merit Corporation (Lebanon), Yildirim holding (Turkey) and Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (France) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of the undertaking Oldenburg-Portugiesische Dampfschiffs-Rhederei (‘OPDR’, Germany), controlled by Bernhard Schulte GmbH & Co. KG (Germany) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for CMA CGM: containerised liner shipping (also under the brand name MacAndrews), port terminal management, including reefer transport, handling facilities in port, as well as freight transport and logistics on land,
—   for OPDR: short-sea traffic, mainly consisting in door-to-door services connecting North Europe, the Canary Islands, Iberian Peninsula and North Africa.

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.
