🇬🇧 English

The European Commission has issued a non-opposition decision for the notified concentration in Case M.12302, involving EPH (Energetický a průmyslový holding), TTE, and EFG. This means the Commission reviewed the proposed merger or acquisition under EU Merger Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 and determined it does not raise significant competition concerns in the European Economic Area. The non-opposition decision indicates that the transaction was either cleared under the simplified procedure or following a Phase I review, with the Commission finding that the concentration will not significantly impede effective competition in the EU internal market. This decision grants the parties formal regulatory clearance to proceed with the transaction. The involved entities — EPH, a major Central European energy and industrial holding company, alongside TTE and EFG — may now complete their proposed deal without further EU-level merger control obligations, subject to any national competition authority requirements that may apply separately.
