|
1. |
On 27 October 2016, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertakings Arcelor Mittal Distribution Solution Italia Srl (‘AMDS Italia’, Italy), belonging to ArcelorMittal Group (‘ArcelorMittal’, France), and CLN — Coils Lamiere Nastri SpA (‘CLN’, Italy) acquire, through their joint venture ArcerlorMittal CLN Distribuzione Italia Srl (‘AMCLN’, Italy), within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the whole of Acierplus s.a.s (‘Acierplus’, France), by way of purchase of shares. Prior to the transaction, Acierplus is wholly-owned by ArcelorMittal. |
|
2. |
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are: — for ArcelorMittal: mining, manufacturing and distribution of various steel products at global level, — for CLN: distribution of steel and production of components for cars and commercial vehicles, — for Acierplus: steel distribution through oxycutting centres. |
