(Case COMP/M.3686 — HONEYWELL/NOVAR)

(2005/C 17/02)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 7 January 2005, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the American undertaking Honeywell Inter-
national Inc. (‘Honeywell’) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control
of the whole of the UK publicly listed company Novar plc (‘Novar’) by way of a public bid announced on
13 December 2004.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Honeywell: aerospace products and services, automotive products, electronic materials, specialty
materials, performance polymers, transportation and power systems, home and building controls, and
industrial controls.

— for Novar: Intelligent building systems, Indalex Aluminum Solutions and security printing services.

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

3.
scope of Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. However, the final decision on this point is reserved.

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

4.
operation to the Commission.
