Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.4476 — Norilsk Nickel/OMG Nickel)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 6/19)

1.
On 22 December 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 Open Joint Stock
Company Mining and Metallurgical Company Norilsk Nickel (‘Norilsk Nickel’, Russia) acquires within the
meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the nickel activities of the undertaking OM
Group Inc. (‘OMG’, United States) by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Norilsk Nickel: exploration, mining, processing and refining of minerals and marketing and sale of

non-ferrous and precious metals, in particular nickel;

— for OMG: mining, processing and refining of nickel and production and marketing of value-added nickel,

cobalt and other metal-based specialty chemicals and materials.

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.

Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication.
Observations can be sent to the Commission by fax (fax No (32-2) 296 43 01 or 296 72 44) or by post,
