The parties can request access to the CCPC\u2019s file. They have 15 working days to respond in writing to the CCPC\u2019s assessment and they may also ask to make an oral submission.<\/p>\n<p>This proposed acquisition was originally notified to the CCPC in March 2022. As part of the proposed acquisition, East Cork Oil would acquire the entire issued share capital, and thus sole control, of Misty Lane, and thereby also sole control of its subsidiaries Arch Avenue Holdings Limited, Atlantic Oils (Ireland) Limited, and Geaney Oil Limited.<\/p>\n<p>The CCPC carried out a preliminary investigation of the proposed transaction and concluded that a full investigation was required to establish if the proposed transaction could lead to a substantial lessening of competition in the State.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the timelines as set out in the CCPC\u2019s\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/ccpc.inventise.ie\/business\/mergers\/mergers\/\">Merger Review Process<\/a>, it is expected that the investigation will conclude no later than March 2023. At that time, the outcome of the investigation will be published on the CCPC\u2019s website, ccpc.inventise.ie. A full non-confidential version of the CCPC\u2019s determination will subsequently be published.<\/p>\n<p>As the merger control review is ongoing, no further information or comment can be provided at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of its merger review process into the proposed acquisition by East Cork Oil Company Unlimited Company (East Cork Oil) of sole control &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
