PARIS (AFX) - The French Finance Ministry has approved Alcatel SA's sale of
its Saft industrial batteries division to private equity firm Doughty Hanson, a
government spokesman said.
"The green light was given on Friday," he said.
Alcatel last week said it still expects to complete the sale of its Saft
industrial batteries division to Doughty Hanson, despite a decision by the
Finance Ministry to block the original offer for strategic reasons.
Alcatel announced the sale of Saft for 390 mln eur in October. The deal was
approved by the EU Commission in December.

HELSINKI (AFP) - A Finnish survey of the country's most popular cell phone
models found they all emitted far less radiation than the agreed European
limits, the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority of Finland (STUK) said.
"None of the phones I tested came close to the max limits," Tim Toivo, the
STUK scientist who carried out the survey, told Agence France-Presse.
Toivo tested 12 of Finland's most popular cell phone models from
manufacturers Nokia Corp, Motorola Inc, Samsung Electronics Co, Siemens AG and
LM Ericsson AB in an attempt to measure how much radiation is absorbed into the
user's head.
While research over recent years has indicated that cell phone radiation
could cause brain damage, the STUK survey shows that the 12 tested models at
least emit such low radiation levels that they are not harmful.
While this so-called Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is limited to two watts
of radiation per kilogram (2.2 pounds) in Finland and the rest of Europe, none
of the models Toivo tested emitted more than 1.12 watts per kilogram.
"They were all pretty much in line with the levels of what the manufacturers
were saying," he said. "Only one to two phones showed results a bit different
from the data the manufacturers had published."
The test revealed that the Siemens A55 phone emitted the least radiation at
0.45 w/kg, while the Siemens ME45 emitted the most radiation at 1.12 w/kg.

Major gainers:
-Grandvision, up 0.95 eur or 4.6 pct at 21.55, after the optics retailer
posted full year sales of 604 mln eur, stable from the same period last year.
-Alcatel, up 0.55 or 5.0 pct at 11.51, boosted by yesterday's 19 pct surge
for its US rival Nortel Networks, which spurred heavy buying across the telecom
equipment sectors, dealers said.

yesterday, which helped push Nasdaq composite to 29-month high.

Major losers:
-Eurotunnel, down 0.03 at 0.59
-EADS, down 0.20 at 17.95 as consolidation followed this morning's 2003 and

dealers said.
