CMA confirms rendering merger referral
The CMA has referred the completed acquisition by Linergy Limited (Linergy) of Ulster Farm By-Products Limited for an in-depth phase 2 investigation.
Earlier this month, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said that it would refer the merger for an in-depth investigation unless Linergy offered acceptable undertakings to address the CMA바카라 사이트™s competition concerns regarding the processing of animal by-products from non-fallen stock and fallen stock in Northern Ireland.
After an initial decision identifying competition concerns, the acquirer has 5 working days in which to offer undertakings to address the CMA바카라 사이트™s competition concerns in lieu of the reference. As Linergy has not offered undertakings in lieu, the CMA will therefore now refer the merger.
A decision on the merger will be made by a group of independent panel members supported by a case team of CMA staff. The deadline for the final report will be 11 January 2016.
All information relating to the investigation is available on the case page.
