The Competition Council, after evaluating the information provided by SIA “Emsco” and other information at the disposal of the institution, concluded that the merger participants and their related companies do not operate in one specific market or a vertically related market. As a result, the market structure will not change, competition will not decrease, and a dominant position will not be created or strengthened in the affected markets in Latvia, where the merger participants operate. Accordingly, on November 28, 2022, the Competition Council made a decision to allow SIA “Emsco” to acquire a sole decisive influence over HansaMatrix.
