(Text with EEA relevance)

2012/C 244/04

1.

On 7 August 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 Tech Data Corporation (‘Tech Data’, United States) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the undertaking Brightstar Europe Limited (‘Brightstar Europe’, United Kingdom), by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

—

for Tech Data: distribution of information and communication technology products,

—

for Brightstar Europe: wholesale distribution of (and related services for) mobile telephone equipment, tariffs/contracts and accessories.

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.
