Dear Sir or Madam,

2.The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
-for Strabag: all areas of the building and construction industry, especially road construction, civil engineering, project management and construction materials,
-for Bögl: various segments of the construction industry, especially construction of public buildings, civil engineering and infrastructure,
-for SMB: construction of inclining curves for proving grounds for automobiles.
3.After examination of the notification, the European Commission has concluded that the notified operation falls within the scope of the Merger Regulation and of paragraph 5(a) of the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. 4
4.For the reasons set out in the Notice on a simplified procedure, the European Commission has decided not to oppose the notified operation and to declare it compatible with the internal market and with the EEA Agreement. This decision is adopted in application of Article 6(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation and Article 57 of the EEA Agreement.
For the Commission
