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

Subject:    Case No COMP/M.7086 - FONDO STRATEGICO ITALIANO/ ANSALDO ENERGIA
         Commission decision pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004[1]

 1. On 4 November 2013, the European Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of the Merger  Regulation
    by which the undertaking Fondo Strategico Italiano ("FSI", Italy) controlled by Cassa Depositi  e  Prestiti  S.p.A  ("CDP",  Italy)  acquires
    within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of the whole of the undertaking Ansaldo Energia ("AEN", Italy) by
    way of purchase of shares.

 2. The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

      -     for FSI: holding company whose corporate mission is to support economic growth and infrastructure development in Italy,

      -     for AEN: power generation systems and components[2].

 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(b) 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
                                        Director General
