Hauptgenossenschaft Nord, which is controlled by the Danish cooperative Dansk Landbrugs Grovvareselskab a.m.b.a., is active in the wholesale and trade of agricultural commodities, including grains, seeds, animal feed and fertilisers. Roth Agrarhandel is a retailer of agricultural products. The Commission concluded that the proposed transaction would raise no competition concerns because prior to the present transaction Hauptgenossenschaft Nord had already joint control over Roth Agrarhandel together with other shareholders.
The operation was assessed under the simplified merger procedure. More information is available on the Commission's competition website in the public case register under the case number M.7948.
