Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.6618 — Raiffeisen Bank International/Raiffeisen Bank Polska)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

2012/C 208/07

1.

On 4 July 2012, 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 Raiffeisen Bank International AG (‘RBI’, Austria) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of the undertaking Raiffeisen Bank Polska SA (‘RBPL’, Poland) hitherto jointly controlled by RBI and EFG Eurobank Ergasias SA (‘EFG Eurobank’, Greece) by way of purchase of shares by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

RBI: a fully-consolidated subsidiary of Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich AG (Austria, ‘RZB’), the Austria based steering company of the RBI Group, which through a network of subsidiary banks, leasing companies and other financial service providers offers a comprehensive range of banking and financial services. RBI’s international activities focus on the emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe. RBI is present in Poland through its subsidiaries RBPL and RLP,

RBPL: operates under a Polish banking license with a focus on serving corporate customers and small and medium-sized enterprises.

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. Observations can be sent to the Commission by fax (+32 22964301), by email to COMP-MERGER-REGISTRY@ec.europa.eu or by post, under reference number COMP/M.6618 — Raiffeisen Bank International/Raiffeisen Bank Polska, to the following address:
