The main regulatory hurdle that prevented Microsoft completing the takeover of Nokia’s handset and services businesses in the first quarter has been overcome, with China approving the deal.
随着中国批准相关交易,阻碍微软(Microsoft)在今年第一季度完成对诺基亚(Nokia)手机和服务业务收购的主要监管障碍已被克服。
Nokia shares closed up 5 per cent at 5.59 in Helsinki on the news.
消息传出之际,诺基亚在赫尔辛基股市的股价收涨5%,至5.59欧元。

Nokia said last month it expected the transaction to close in April, compared to expectations of it doing so in the first quarter, when the 5.4bn deal was first announced last September.
上月,诺基亚表示,预计交易于4月完成。相比之下,去年9月最初宣布这笔54亿欧元的交易时,各方预期交易将在第一季度完成。
While regulatory approval from the European Commission and the US Department of Justice had been received, it cited “pending approvals from certain antitrust authorities in Asia which are still conducting their reviews”.
尽管欧盟委员会(European Commission)和美国司法部(US Department of Justice)之前已批准这笔交易,但诺基亚此前称,该交易“仍有待某些亚洲反垄断主管部门的批准,这些部门仍在进行审批”。
It announced today that it had received regulatory approval from the Ministry of Commerce in China, meaning April is still the target. The deal also included Microsoft buying Nokia’s patents.
诺基亚昨日宣布,已收到中国商务部的监管批准,这意味着4月仍是完成收购的目标。这笔交易还包括微软购买诺基亚的专利组合。
“The regulatory approval process has involved a thorough review of Nokia’s patent licensing practices by several competition authorities around the world,” the Finnish company said. “During that process, no authority has challenged Nokia’s compliance with [licensing its patents on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms] or requested that Nokia make changes to its licensing program or royalty terms.”
诺基亚表示:“监管审批过程涉及由全球数个反垄断主管部门对诺基亚的专利许可实践进行彻底审查。在此过程中,没有一家主管部门对诺基亚遵循公平、合理、无歧视的专利许可条款提出挑战,或是请求诺基亚改变其许可程序或专利授权条款。”
Earlier this month, Microsoft said it would give away its software for smartphones free of charge – an admission that Microsoft has lost the smartphone battle to Google’s Android, which is free, and Apple’s iOS, which is included on the iPhone.
本月早些时候,微软宣布将免费提供智能手机软件,这相当于承认其已在智能手机之战中输给了谷歌(Google)本来就免费的安卓(Android)系统和苹果(Apple)用于iPhone的iOS系统。
