Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.7948 — Hauptgenossenschaft Nord/Roth Agrarhandel)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2016/C 52/13)






1.


On 3 February 2016, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertaking Hauptgenossenschaft Nord AG (‘Hauptgenossenschaft Nord’, Germany), controlled by Dansk Landbrugs Grovvareselskab a.m.b.a. (‘dlg’, Denmark) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of the undertaking Roth Agrarhandel GmbH (‘Roth Agrarhandel’, Germany) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for dlg: farmers’ cooperative operating in the agricultural sector offering products and services to farmers,
—   for Hauptgenossenschaft Nord: wholesale and trade of agricultural commodities, including grains, seeds, animal feed and fertilisers,
—   for Roth Agrarhandel: retail of agricultural commodities, including grains, seeds, animal feed and fertilisers.










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 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 this Notice.
