    Prior notification of a concentration

    (Case M.7387 — BP/Statoil Fuel and Retail Aviation)

    (Text with EEA relevance)

    (2014/C 387/04)

    1.

    On 27 October 2014, 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 BP Global Investments Limited (‘BP GIL’, United Kingdom), a wholly owned subsidiary of BP plc. (‘BP’, United Kingdom), acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of the whole of the undertaking Statoil Fuel and Retail Aviation AS (‘SFRA’, Norway), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (‘Alimentation Couche-Tard’, Canada), by way of purchase of shares.

    2.

    The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

    —

    BP is the parent company of a global group of entities active in the exploration, development and production of oil and gas. BP GIL is a UK company and one of the primary holding companies of the BP Group, with activities in many businesses and regions around the world. Air BP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BP, is focussed on aviation fuel supply on a global basis,

    —

    SFRA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alimentation Couche-Tard and it is active in supplying aviation fuel on an ‘into-plane’ basis (i.e. directly into the aircraft of customer airlines at relevant airports) at 80 airports in the EEA, but is focussed primarily on Scandinavia.

    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.

    4.

    The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed operation to the Commission.

    Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication.
