(Case M.7815 — Bouygues Group/ADP/Meridiam/Ravinala Airports)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2016/C 212/09)






1.


On 8 June 2016, the European Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the Bouygues Group (France), Aéroports de Paris (‘ADP’, France) and Meridiam SAS (‘Meridiam’, France) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the company Ravinala Airports (Madagascar) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   Bouygues: diversified industrial group, active in construction, telecommunications and media,
—   ADP: planning, operation and development of a number of airports in the Paris region, in particular Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports,
—   Meridiam: investment in infrastructure projects,
—   Ravinala Airports: financing, design, development, operation, maintenance and servicing of two airports in Madagascar (Ivato (Antananarivo) and Nosy Be).










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.
