“approved, according to Article 8 of L. 3950/2011, as in force, the proposed transaction notified on 08.02.2021 (Ref. no. 1199) consisting in the acquisition by the Cypriot company “BELTERRA INVESTMENTS LIMITED” of full and sole control over the Cypriot company “MELBERY INVESTMENTS LIMITED” through the purchase of 70% of the latter’s share capital, in addition to the 30% of its share capital that was already held by BELTERRA INVESTMENTS LIMITED, thus holding the 100% of the share capital of MELBERY INVESTMENTS LIMITED, considering that the above concentration, although it falls within the scope of Αrticle 6 (1) of Law 3959/2011, does not raise serious doubts as to its compatibility with merger control rules in the relevant markets concerned.
