On 12 November 2018, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. This notification concerns the following undertakings:
Bergé Automotive Logistics, S.L. (BAL, Spain), belonging to Bergé y Cía, S.A.,
GEFCO España, S.A. (GEFCO España, Spain), belonging to GEFCO, S.A. (GEFCO, France), ultimately controlled by the Russian state-owned rail company RZD.
BAL and GEFCO España acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of a newly-created company that would integrate and manage the finished vehicle logistic businesses and assets of both companies in Spain. The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint venture. The same concentration was already notified to the Commission on 16 October 2018, but the notification was subsequently withdrawn on 8 November 2018. The business activities of the undertakings concerned are: — for BAL the provision of logistics services and transport solutions especially to the automotive industry in Spain. — for GEFCO España the provision of logistics services and transport solutions especially to the automotive industry in Spain. 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. The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed operation to the Commission.
