    Prior notification of a concentration

    (Case COMP/M.6326 — Stanley Black & Decker/Niscayah Group)

    Candidate case for simplified procedure

    (Text with EEA relevance)

    2011/C 223/11

    1.

    On 22 July 2011, 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 Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (United States) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of Niscayah Group AB (Sweden) by way of public bid announced on 27 June 2011.

    2.

    The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

    —

    Stanley Black & Decker: hard tools and engineered solutions for industrial, construction, do-it yourself (DIY) use, fastening and assembly systems, and security solutions mainly for commercial applications,

    —

    Niscayah Group AB: fire protection solutions, video-surveillance systems, access control equipment, as well as installation, maintenance, monitoring and alarm response services.

    3.

    On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the EC Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under the EC Merger Regulation (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.

    4.

    The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed operation to the Commission.

    Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication.
