| Summary of Decision | The Hellenic Competition Commission approved, pursuant to Art. 8(3) of Greek Law 3959/2011, the proposed transaction, which concerns the acquisition of 100% of the shares in ‘‘IASO General Clinics.S.A.’’ by ‘‘HELLENIC HEALTHCARE S.A.R.L.’’, since while falling within the scope of Art. 6(1) of Greek Law 3959/2011, does not raise any serious doubts as to its compatibility with the competition rules in the relevant market involved. The transaction will not lead to any substantive change in the relevant market of private general clinics, effective competition, and alternative supplier choices, and it is therefore estimated that this transaction is not expected to significantly affect or restrict competition. |
