    1.

    On 5 April 2011, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Linea Ltd (‘Linea’, Bermuda) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control over Donalink Limited (‘Donalink’, Cyprus) in which currently Linea, STI Limited (‘STI’, Jersey) and Altmirco Enterprises Limited (‘Altmirco’, Cyprus) are the shareholders. The only operating company that Linea controls (indirectly) is OJSC MCC Eurochem Russia Agrochemicals (‘Eurochem’, Russia). The only operating company that Donalink controls is Open Joint Stock Company Siberian Coal Energy Company (‘SUEK’, Russia).

    2.

    The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

    for Linea: investment holding,

    for Eurochem: mining of minerals for fertilizers and the manufacture and sale of fertilizers,

    for Donalink: investment holding,
