Commission clears acquisition of Dutch agricultural trader Cefetra by German rival BayWa


The European Commission has cleared under the EU Merger Regulation the proposed acquisition of the Dutch agricultural trading company Cefetra by the German trading and services group BayWa. The Commission's investigation examined the impact of the proposed transaction on the market for the marketing of oilseed meal where both companies are active.

Oilseed meal is produced through the crushing of oilseeds and is used primarily as an animal feed ingredient. The Commission's investigation showed that a number of oilseed meal marketers are active in Europe and that customers would continue to have sufficient alternative suppliers.

The Commission therefore concluded that the transaction would not significantly impede effective competition in the European Economic Area.

More information will be available on the competition website, in the Commission's public case register under the case number M.6740
