The French Competition Authority (FCA) sanctioned a non-reportable merger under Article 101 TFEU rules by confirming that transactions below merger control thresholds can violate antitrust laws. The FCA fined merging parties for creating a monopoly in medical waste management in La Réunion by acquiring and merging its only competitor, impacting competition significantly.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face new merger risk as the FCA can sanction deals below control thresholds under antitrust rules. Your acquisitions now carry a competition risk regardless of formal merger review.
