Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.2499 (cid:151) Norske Skog/Parenco/Walsum)

(2001/C 182/05)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 20 June 2001 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),
by which the Norwegian undertaking Norske Skogindustrier ASA (Norske Skog) acquires, within the
meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of
the Finnish undertaking
UPM-Kymmene Corporation (UPM-Kymmene) by way of purchase of shares in the Parenco company
(Netherlands) and by way of purchase of assets in the Walsum paper mill (Germany).

sole control of parts of

the Regulation,

It should be noted that this acquisition is simultaneous with the acquisition of the German undertaking
Haindl’sche Papierfabriken KGaA (Haindl) by UPM-Kymmene. While UPM-Kymmene is technically the seller
in the transaction, the operation is in reality an acquisition by Norske Skog of two of the six paper mills
which originally formed the Haindl Group.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

(cid:151) Norske Skog: production and sale of wood containing printing paper (newsprint and magazine paper),

(cid:151) Parenco: production and sale of wood containing printing paper (newsprint and magazine paper),

(cid:151) Walsum: production and sale of wood containing printing paper (magazine paper).

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within
