                                     (Case COMP/M.2949 — Finmeccanica/Telespazio)
                                             Candidate case for simplified procedure
                                                         (2002/C 240/07)
                                                     (Text with EEA relevance)
        1.    On 27 September 2002 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
        to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
        1310/97 (2), by which the Italian undertaking Finmeccanica SpA acquires, within the meaning of
        Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation, control of the whole of the undertaking Telespazio SpA by way of
        purchase of shares.
        2.    The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
        — Finmeccanica: design and manufacture of aircraft, helicopters, satellites, missile systems, radar, power
            generation plants, trains, information technology services,
        — Telespazio: design, implementation and operation of space systems, supply of satellite-based telecom-
            munication services, development of high value added multimedia services and solutions, supply of
            products, applications and services for environmental monitoring, land management planning, risk
            management and scientific research, infomobility and remote monitoring.
        3.    On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within
        the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant
        to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under
        Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (3), it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under
        the procedure set out in the notice.
        4.    The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the
        proposed operation.
        Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication.
        Observations can be sent by fax (No (32-2) 296 43 01 or 296 72 44) or by post, under reference
        COMP/M.2949 — Finmeccanica/Telespazio, to:
