TELECOMWORLDWIRE-19 November 2007-NTT DoCoMo to close DoCoMo Europe (France) subsidiary(C)1994-2007 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com

Japanese mobile communications company NTT DoCoMo Inc has announced that DoCoMo Europe (France) S.A.S., a wholly owned subsidiary of DoCoMo Europe Ltd, will be closed at the end of 2007.

The company said it set up the subsidiary in 1998 in order to liaise with European organisations involved in harmonising UMTS 3G technologies with the ITU's IMT2000 standard for 3G communications system.

The subsidiary's main role has now been reduced to monitoring the European telecomms industry. NTT DoCoMo has therefore decided to replace it with a representative office to liaise in matters relating to the company's business interests in Europe.

The subsidiary to be closed is DoCoMo Europe (France) S.A.S., which is located at Washington Plaza, 40 rue Washington 75408 Cedex 08, Paris, France.

NTT DoCoMo said a representative office will be established in Paris, in January 2008, with formal liquidation of DoCoMo Europe (France) to be completed by June 2008.
