                                                                 Infrastructure business; Industrial Finance, Logistics &  Development;  Energy;

    Regulation and of paragraph 5(a) of the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of  certain  concentrations  under  Council
    Regulation (EC) No 139/2004[3].

    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
