    Holding" of Denmark) owned by SEAS-NVE A.m.b.a. acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the  Merger Regulation joint control of the
    undertaking E.ON Vind Sverige AB ("E.ON Vind Sverige" of Sweden) by way of purchase of shares.[2]
 2. The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

1 The E.ON group's activities cover all levels of the supply chain in the fields of electricity and gas and also extend to related sectors.

2 SEAS-NVE A.m.b.a. is a Danish consumer-owned energy company, whose core business is the  delivery  of  energy  and  communication  services  to
        customers in Denmark.

 3. After examination of the notification, the European Commission has concluded that the notified operation  falls  within  the  scope  of  the
    Merger Regulation and of paragraph 5(c) of the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment  of  certain  concentrations  under
    Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004.[3]

 4. For the reasons set out in the Notice on a simplified procedure, the European Commission has decided not to oppose  the  notified  operation

    of the Merger Regulation.

                                        For the Commission
