    (Case COMP/M.3735 — FINMECCANICA/AMS)

    Candidate case for simplified procedure

    (2005/C 38/09)

    (Text with EEA relevance)

    1.

    On 7 February 2005, 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 Finmeccanica SpA (‘Finmeccanica’, Italy) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of the Italian operating branch of AMS (‘AMS SpA’, Italy) and the AMS's air traffic control business. AMS is currently jointly-controlled by BAE SYSTEMS plc (‘BAES’, UK) and Finmeccanica.

    2.

    The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

    Finmeccanica is active principally in the defence and aerospace sectors, such as the design, manufacture and support of aircraft, helicopters, satellites, missile systems, radar, avionics and communication systems, naval systems and armoured vehicles,

    AMS is active in the land and naval defence electronics markets, and in the air traffic control and air traffic management systems civil markets,

    BAES is an international manufacturer of defence and commercial aerospace systems, including military aircraft, surface ships, submarines, radar, avionics, communications, electronics and weapons systems.

    3.

    On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.

    4.
