Dear Madam(s) and/or Sir(s),

Subject:    Case No COMP/M.7105 – NTT DATA CORPORATION/ EVERIS PARTICIPACIONES
         Commission decision pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004[1]

 1. On 27 November 2013, the European Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council  Regulation
    (EC) No 139/2004[2] by which the undertaking NTT Data Corporation (''NTT Data'', Japan), belonging to  the  Nippon  Telegraph  and  Telephone
    Corporation Group (''NTT'', Japan) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the undertaking  Everis
    Participaciones, S.L. (''Everis'', Spain), by way of purchase of shares.

 2. The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

      - for NTT and NTT Data: telecommunications and IT services,

      - for Everis: IT services.

 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 and
    to declare it compatible with the internal market and with the EEA Agreement. This decision is adopted in application of Article  6(1)(b)  of
    the Merger Regulation.

                                        For the Commission
                                        (Signed)                                                     Alexander ITALIANER
