(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 3 November 2006, 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 Alcatel (‘Alcatel’;
France) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of part of the
undertaking Nortel Networks Limited (‘Nortel’; Canada) by way of purchase of certain assets related to
Nortel's UMTS Radio Access Network (RAN) equipment business.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for undertaking Alcatel: design, development and building of communications networks;

— for undertaking Nortel: supply of UMTS RAN equipment.

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
procedure set out in the Notice.

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