(Text with EEA relevance)
(2016/C 450/10)






1.


On 25 November 2016, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertakings Rockaway Capital SE and its group (‘Rockaway’), EC Investments a.s. (‘ECI’) and PPF Group NV and its group (‘PPF’) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of Sully Systems a.s. (‘JVCo’), a newly created joint venture.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


Rockaway group is an investment group focusing on investments into existing companies and start-ups in new expanding segments of the market for internet services, most importantly on e-commerce services, such as online retail, online search engines, online payments and other online services,

PPF is a large multinational finance and investment group focusing on financial services, consumer finance, telecommunications, biotechnologies, retail services, real estate and agriculture,
