Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.4518 — Alcoa/Orkla/Soft Alloy Extrusion JV)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 64/11)

1.
On 12 March 2007, 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 Alcoa Inc (‘Alcoa’, USA)
and Orkla ASA (‘Orkla’, Norway) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation
joint control of the undertaking soft alloy extrusion JV (‘JV’) by way of purchase of shares in a newly created
company constituting a joint venture.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Alcoa: active in all the major segments of the aluminium business, including primary aluminium,

soft- and hard- alloy extrusions, flat rolled products and building systems;

— for Orkla: active in the branded consumer goods, specialty materials, aluminium, energy and financial

investment sectors;

— for JV: active in manufacture and supply of soft alloy extrusions.

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.
