Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.4215 — Glatfelter/Crompton Assets)

(2006/C 198/04)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 16 August 2006, the Commission received a notification of a concentration pursuant to Article 4
of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which P.H. Glatfelter Company (‘Glatfelter’, USA) acquires,
within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation sole control of the Lydney business of J.R.
Crompton Ltd (‘Crompton Assets’, UK) by way of purchase of assets. The concentration has been referred
to the Commission by the German Bundeskartellamt pursuant to Article 22 (3) of the Council Regulation.
The referral was subsequently joined by the UK.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Glatfelter: specialty papers, long fibre and overlay papers including wet laid papers;

— for Crompton Assets: wet laid fibre materials, including tea and coffee filtration materials, double-sided
adhesive tape substrates, battery pasting, vacuum cleaner bags, wet wipes, packaging and rat poison
bags.

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

3.
the 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.
