(Case No. COMP/M.3429 – Nokia/Metso/Avantone JV)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2004/C 144/04)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1. On 19/05/2004, the Commission received a 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 undertakings Nokia Corporation (‘Nokia’, Finland) and Metso Corporation (‘Metso’, Finland)
acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control of the undertaking
Avantone Oy (‘Avantone’, Finland) by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting
a joint venture.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Nokia: mobile communications

— for Metso: supply of process industry machinery and systems, including fiber and paper technology,

rock and mineral processing and automation and control technology

— for Avantone: development and provision of innovative technological solutions to consumer packaging,

print/hybrid media and marketing communications.

3. 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
procedure set out in the Notice.

The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed

operation to the Commission.

Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication.
Observations can be sent to the Commission by fax (fax no. +32/2/2964301 or 2967244) or by post,
