(2023/C 41/11)

1.   
On 26 January 2023, 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:

INEOS and Sinopec will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the Ethylene JV.
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 the following:






—


INEOS is a privately owned conglomerate that produces a range of chemicals including petrochemicals, specialty chemicals and oil products,
