The Hellenic Competition Commission (HCC), in Chamber sitting, unanimously approved, pursuant to Article 8 (3) of Greek Law 3959/2011, the notified concentration under ref. no. 5099/23.06.2023 concerning the acquisition by “MYTILINEOS S.A.” of sole control over “UNISON FACILITY SERVICES S.A.” as, albeit falling within the scope of Article 6 (1) of Law 3959/2011, it does not raise serious concerns as to its compatibility with competition rules in the individual markets concerned thereby. |

Summary of Decision |
The above transaction does not lead to horizontal overlaps as the acquirer and the companies controlled thereby are not active in the markets where the target company and its subsidiaries in Greece operate. Furthermore, this transaction does not bring about any vertical effects as the activities of one party to the transaction are not carried out in a market which is upstream or downstream from that of the other party to the transaction. The HCC, by its decision, concluded that the concentration is not expected to bring about any change in the relevant markets concerned. |
