Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.3709 — ORKLA/ELKEM)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2005/C 33/05)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 31 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 undertaking Orkla ASA (‘Orkla’,
Norway) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of
the undertaking Elkem ASA (‘Elkem’, Norway) by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Orkla: branded consumer goods, chemicals, energy and financial investments,

— for Elkem: production and supply of metals and materials to the steel, foundry, chemicals, electronics

and aluminium industries and energy.

3.
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the
scope of Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. 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 (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the
