Poste Italiane / Telecom Italia Concentration Withdrawn During Preliminary Review

The parties notified the European Commission of a proposed concentration between Poste Italiane and Telecom Italia under the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation 2022/2560. The notification was withdrawn on April 15, 2026, during the preliminary review phase, before the EC could conduct any substantive assessment. The case had a provisional deadline of May 20, 2026.

For the parties involved, this withdrawal means the transaction will not proceed under this notification and the EC will not issue any decision on the merits. The parties retain the option to refile a new notification in the future, which would restart the review process and timeline from the beginning.
