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

Subject:    Case M.7586 - FLEXTRONICS / CERTAIN ASSETS BELONGING TO ALCATEL-LUCENT ITALIA
         Commission decision pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004[1] and Article 57 of the Agreement on the
         European Economic Area[2]

 1. On 13 May 2015, the European Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of the Merger Regulation  by
    which the undertaking Flextronics Manufacturing S.r.l  (Italy)  belonging  to  Flextronics  International  Ltd.  ("Flextronics",  Singapore)
    acquires, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation, control of certain manufacturing  assets  located  in  Italy  from
    Alcatel-Lucent Italia S.P.A. ("Alcatel-Lucent Italia", Italy) belonging to Alcatel-Lucent (France), by way of purchase of assets.[3]

 2. The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

      – Flextronics is a global provider of electronics manufacturing services to original equipment manufacturers. Its services include  product
        design, manufacturing, logistics and after-sales services,

      – The manufacturing assets of Alcatel-Lucent Italia concerned by the proposed concentration are located in Trieste, Italy.  They  are  used
        to manufacture telecommunications systems equipment and provide related products and support 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.[4]

 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 and Article 57 of the EEA Agreement.

                                        For the Commission                                        (signed)
                                                          Alexander ITALIANER
