            1.  On 09/07/2010, the European Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4, and following a referral pursuant to Article 4(5) of the Merger Regulation by which Rettig Group Ltd ("Rettig", Finland) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the  Merger Regulation control of the whole of Nordkalk Corporation ("Nordkalk", Finland) by way of purchase of shares.

            ·  Nordkalk : manufacture of limestone-based products
            3.  After examination of the notification, the European Commission has concluded that the notified operation falls within the scope of the Merger Regulation and of paragraphs 5(b) and 5(d) of the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 [2]   ("Notice on a simplified procedure").
