    Candidate case for simplified procedure

    (Text with EEA relevance)

    (2017/C 391/07)

    1.

    On 13 November 2017, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1).

    This notification concerns the following undertakings:

    —

    Macquarie Asia Infrastructure Investments 2 Pte. Ltd (‘MAIF2’, Singapore), belonging to the Macquarie Group Limited (‘Macquarie Group’, Australia),

    —

    Oiltanking GmbH (‘Oiltanking’, Germany), controlled by Marquard & Bahls AG (‘M&B’, Germany),

    —

    Oiltanking Odfjell Terminal Singapore Pte. Ltd (‘OOTS’, Singapore), currently jointly controlled by Oiltanking and Odfjell Terminals BV.

    MAIF2 and Oiltanking acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and Article 3(4) of the Merger Regulation, joint control over OOTS.

    The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.

    2.

    The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

    —

    MAIF2 is an infrastructure fund and under the management and control of the Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets division of Macquarie Group. Macquarie Group is a global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and fund management services listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.

    —

    Oiltanking is a provider of storage services for petroleum products, vegetable oils, chemicals, other liquids and gases, and dry bulk. Oiltanking is ultimately controlled by M&B, which focuses on oil trading, renewable energies, dry bulk handling, carbon trading, gas supply and petroleum analysis.

    —

    OOTS owns and operates a bulk petrochemical storage facility located on Jurong Island, Singapore.

    3.

    On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the 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 Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.
