Commission clears packaging and waste mergers

摘要

Three separate mergers in the packaging and waste area got the green light from the European Commission's anti-trust team on 3 February, which approved the deals under the EU merger regulation's simplified procedure. The Commission first cleared Saint-Gobain Glass France and the Turkish company Trakya Cam to acquire joint control over Trakya Glass Rus ZAO. Saint-Gobain is mainly engaged in the production and sale of glass, ceramics, plastics and building materials, while Trakya, a subsidiary of Turkiye Sis eve Cam Fabrikalari A.S, is active in the production and sale of glass, glassware, glass packaging and chemicals. The new joint venture will be active in the manufacture and sale of glass in Russia.
