Today the Commission has published <a href=\"https:\/\/ccpc.inventise.ie\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/04\/M-14-026-Phase-2-DET-Public.pdf\">the determination<\/a> which outlines the commitment by Valeo to divest the entire YR brand.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\">Isolde Goggin, Chairperson of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, said \u2018Mergers over a certain financial threshold must be notified to the Commission and are reviewed in order to determine their potential impact on competition. Some mergers could substantially lessen competition in the Irish market and as a result consumers and businesses could suffer detriment. In such cases, the Commission will intervene to prevent that happening\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the Valeo\/Robert Roberts acquisition, Ms Goggin said \u2018During the investigation of this merger, the Commission identified certain competition concerns and worked with Valeo in order to address those concerns.
