The European Commission has issued a final decision approving the merger of Eurazeo, Eiffel, and Segula (Case M.12309) under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. The decision, dated March 18, 2026, was made under Article 6(1)(b) of the regulation, indicating that the concentration does not raise competition concerns. The notification date was February 24, 2026, and the prior publication in the Official Journal was on March 5, 2026.

This approval signifies that the merger can proceed as planned. The provisional deadline of March 31, 2026, likely relates to any post-merger reporting or integration steps. Companies involved in engineering activities and technical consultancy should ensure all post-merger integration and reporting obligations are met by this date. No specific penalties for non-compliance are mentioned, but failure to adhere to merger conditions could result in future regulatory scrutiny.
