    1.

    On 8 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 Mitsui & Co(‘Mitsui’, Japan) and Evraz Group S.A. (‘Evraz’, Luxembourg) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of the undertaking Coke Oven Overseas Contribution Limited (the ‘Company’, Cyprus) holding company for a new coal mining project in the Deniskovskaya coal field by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.

    The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
