    On 20 February 2006, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertakings ENI Portugal Investment (‘ENI’) belonging to the group ENI S.p.A. (Italy), Amorim Energia, B.V. (‘Amorim Energia’) controlled by Amorim Holding II SGPS, S.A. (Portugal) and Caixa Geral de Depósitos Group (‘CGD’, Portugal) acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation, joint control of the undertaking Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. (‘GALP’) by way of purchase of shares.

    2.

    The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
