Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.4533 — SCA/P&G (European Tissue Business))

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 154/08)

1.
On 2 July 2007, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1), by which Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget SCA AB
(‘SCA’, Sweden) acquires, within the meaning of Article 3(1) (b) of the Council Regulation, sole control over
the European consumer tissue business of Procter and Gamble plc (‘P&G ECT’) by way of purchase of assets.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for SCA: development, production and sale of personal care products, tissue, packaging, paper and solid

wood and in particular consumer tissue products;

— for P&G ECT: business division of P&G which supplies toilet paper, household towels and hanky/facials

in Europe.

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

3.
the scope of Regulation (EEC) 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.

The applicant further criticises the Commission for unjustifiably
limiting, in the contested decision, the possibility of transferring
CO2 emission allowances from the first period (2005-2007)
to the second (2008-2012), thereby infringing Articles 9(3) and
13(2) of Directive 2003/87/EC. The applicant thereby raises a
complaint of exceeding of powers by the Commission.

The applicant further complains that the Commission infringed
essential procedural requirements in connection with the fact
that the applicant did not have before it, before the decision was
taken, the actual grounds on which the Commission proposed
to take its decision. Consequently, according to the applicant, it
was not in a position inter alia to assess the compatibility of the
contested decision with Article 175(2)(c) EC in conjunction with
Article 7(1) EC.

Finally,
the applicant submits that, by taking the decision
without any previous consultations with it, and also by not
taking Poland's

Commission may by the contested decision affect the applicant's
energy security, and it thereby exceeded its powers.
