What changed
The EC reviewed the proposed joint venture and issued a Phase I clearance under Article 6(1)(b) of the EU Merger Regulation. This article allows the Commission to approve concentrations that do not raise serious doubts about their compatibility with the common market without initiating a full Phase II investigation.
Companies involved in joint ventures or mergers within sectors covered by the EU Merger Regulation should ensure proper notification to the Commission before closing, particularly when the combined turnover thresholds are met. The provisional deadline of 7 May 2026 reflects the standard Phase I timeline.
