[01] Commission clears metal coating joint venture between Outokumpu
Wasacopper and Aurajoki
The European Commission has granted clearance, under the Merger Regulation,
to plans by Finland's Outokumpu Wasacopper Oy, a subsidiary of the
Outokumpu Group which makes copper and other metal products, and Aurajoki
Oy, which is controlled by CapMan Oyj, another Finnish group, to transfer
their respective electrolytic coating businesses to Cupru Oy, in which they
will have joint control. Cupru Oy will change its name to AuraCoat Oy. (The
operation, which was notified to the Commission on 11 October 2004, was
examined under a simplified procedure for unproblematic cases).
[02] Customs : EU and US adopt measures to strengthen maritime container
security
The first measures contributing to strengthening the security of maritime
container transport have been agreed by the EU and the US. The measures,
which will facilitate legitimate trade through mutually acceptable
reciprocal security standards and industry partnership programmes, have
been adopted in the framework of the agreement to extend the EU/US Customs
Agreement to include trade security cooperation, signed in Washington on 22
April 2004 (see IP/04/525).
