    (Text with EEA relevance)

    1.

    On 11 May 2005, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Apax Europe V and Apax Europe VI (‘Apax’, Channel Islands), controlled by the Hirzell Trust, acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of Travelex Holdings Limited (‘Travelex’, United Kingdom) by way of purchase of shares.

    2.

    The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

    —

    for Apax: private equity and investment funds management,

    —

    for Travelex: international payment services, foreign exchange and provision of services to banks and other financial institutions.

    3.

    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.
