The Competition Council id not find any possible harm to competition, and therefore gave a permission to the transaction.
The Competition Council concluded that the transaction will influence two markets: land cargo transportation in Latvia an sea transprotation market between Sweden, the Baltic states and respective neighboring countries – Russia, Belarus and others.
As the operations of both market participants do no overlap, the merger will not change the market structure, will not reduce competition and will not form a dominating position in any of the market.
