Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.9006 — Deutsche Asphalt/Bunte/JV)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2018/C 303/07)

1.   
On 21 August 2018, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1).
This notification concerns the following undertakings:






—


Deutsche Asphalt GmbH (‘Deutsche Asphalt’, Germany), controlled by Strabag SE (‘Strabag’, Austria),










—


Johann Bunte Bauunternehmung GmbH & Co. KG (‘Bunte’, Germany),










—


a newly established joint venture (Germany)




Strabag — through its wholly-owned subsidiary Deutsche Asphalt — and Bunte acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the joint venture.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   Deutsche Asphalt: production of different kinds of asphalt for asphalt base, binder and surface courses,
—   Strabag: construction services and materials,
—   Bunte: production and marketing of asphalt mixes and road construction,
—   the joint venture: production and marketing of asphalt mixes. Deutsche Asphalt and Bunte will each bring into the joint venture a number of existing asphalt plants.


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 to it their observations on the proposed operation.
Observations must reach the Commission no later than 10 days following the date of this publication. The following reference should always be specified:
