(Case COMP/M.4459 — Rettig Capital/Ahlström Capital/Nordkalk)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2006/C 292/07)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 24 November 2006, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration
pursuant to Article 4 and following a referral pursuant to Article 4(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No
139/2004 (1) by which the undertakings Ahlström Capital Oy (‘Ahlström Capital’, Finland) and Rettig
Capital Oy (‘Rettig Capital’, Finland), belonging to the Rettig Group (‘Rettig’), acquire within the meaning of
Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control of the undertaking Nordkalk Oyj
(‘Nordkalk’,
Finland) by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Ahlström Capital: investment fund;

— for Rettig Capital: investment fund;

— for Rettig: hydronic and electrical heating and indoor climate regulation; shipping; real estate develop-

ment;

— for Nordkalk: manufacturing of limestone-based products.

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
