    1.

    On 21 May 2007, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertaking Salzgitter AG (‘Salzgitter ’Germany) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of the undertakings Klöckner-Werke AG (‘KW ’Germany) and RSE Grundbesitz und Beteiligungs AG (‘RSE ’Germany) by way of purchase of shares.

    2.

    The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

    for Salzgitter: production, distribution and related services of various steel products, including flat steel products and steel tubes;

    for KW: production and distribution of industrial machines such as filling and packaging machines;

    for RSE: real estate holding company.
