to Article 9(1) of Council Regulation (EC)

ments offered by General Motors Europe, there are no longer grounds for action by the Commission,
without prejudice to the provisions of Article 9(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1/2003.

4. The members of the Advisory Committee agree with the Commission that General Motors Europe

should be bound by the commitments until 31 May 2010.

Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.4765 — Symantec/Huawei/JV)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 304/16)

1.
On 16 November 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 undertakings Symantec Corporation
(‘Symantec’, USA) and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd (‘Huawei’, PR China) acquire within the meaning of
Article 3(1) (b) of the Council Regulation joint control of the undertaking JVCO (‘JVCO’, PR China) 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 Symantec: global supplier of software and appliance solutions and related products and services that
help individuals and enterprises to assure the security, availability, and integrity of their information,

— for Huawei: global supplier of telecommunications networking solutions and related services. It is specia-
lized in research and development, production, and marketing of communications equipment, and in
providing customized network solutions for telecom carriers,

— for JVCO: development and sale of storage appliance solutions and security appliance solutions.

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
procedure set out in the Notice.

The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed

operation to the Commission.
