1.

On 17 November 2005, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertakings HOCHTIEF AirPort GmbH (‘HOCHTIEF AirPort’, Germany), controlled by HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft, and Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec (‘CDPQ’, Canada) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control of the undertaking Budapest Airport Rt. (‘Budapest Airport’, Hungary) by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

—

for HOCHTIEF AirPort: airport management services of Athens, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Sydney and Tirana airports;

—

for CDPQ: management of funds for public and private pension and insurance funds;

—

for Budapest Airport: airport management services of the Budapest airport.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. 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.
