WRITTEN QUESTION E-2095/01

by Pat Gallagher (UEN) to the Commission

(13 July 2001)

Subject: EAGGF funds for Connaught, Ulster

Will the Commission provide a full list of EAGGF funding for Connaught, Ulster during the period June
1994 to date?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(4 September 2001)

The Commission cannot provide a full
list of the European agriculture guidance and guarantee fund
(EAGGF) funding for Connaught, Ulster, during the period from June 1994 to date, due to the fact that the
information on EAGGF funding is available per Member State. The Irish authorities can, certainly, provide
more detailed information.

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 5 July 2001 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
1.
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),
by which the undertaking SCI Systems, Inc. (SCI), acquires, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the
Regulation, control of the whole of the repair and test operations for Nokia Networks’
(cid:145)Talk Family(cid:146) base
stations at Camberley in the United Kingdom (the (cid:145)Business(cid:146)) of Nokia Networks and Nokia UK Ltd (Nokia)
by way of purchase of assets.

(cid:151) the (cid:145)Business(cid:146): repair and test operations of primarily TRX (transceiver/receiver) units for Nokia

Networks’ base stations.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within
the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89. 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 (EEC) No 4064/89 (3), it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the
