Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.4730 — Yara/Kemira GrowHow)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 186/11)

1.
On 2 August 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 Yara International ASA
(‘Yara’, Norway) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the
whole of the undertaking Kemira GrowHow Oyi (‘GrowHow’, Finland) by way of a public bid announced on
18 July 2007.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Yara: production and distribution of mineral field fertilizers, specialty fertilizers and of chemicals for

industrial use,

— for GrowHow: production and distribution of mineral field fertilizers, phosphates for use in animal feed,

specialty fertilizers and of chemicals for industrial use.

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.
