    Candidate case for simplified procedure

    (2006/C 29/05)

    (Text with EEA relevance)

    1.

    On 26 January 2006, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which EQT IV Ltd (‘EQT’, UK) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the DaimlerChrysler Off-Highway Business (‘DCOH’, currently part of DaimlerChrysler AG, Germany) by way of purchase of shares and assets.

    2.

    The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

    EQT: private equity,

    DCOH: diesel engines and related components for off-highway applications (marine, power generation, etc.), drive shafts for motor vehicles.

    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. 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.

    4.
