La suspension est motivée par la contamination de certains lots de Viracept par de l'éthyl mésilate, une substance génotoxique. La décision est fondée sur les conclusions scientifiques de l'Agence européenne des médicaments (EMEA) et fait suite à des consultations avec les Etats membres. La suspension ne peut être levée que par une autre décision de la Commission, après évaluation de nouvelles données par l'Agence.[03] Commission clears proposed acquisition of joint control of Infocare and Powermill by Segulah and CapmanThe European Commission has cleared under the EU Merger Regulation the proposed acquisition of joint control by Jersey-based Segulah and Finland- based CapMan over the combined activities of Infocare (Norway) and Powermill (Sweden), two companies active in the provision of maintenance services to IT and consumer electronics products (CE) in the Nordic area.
