Agrifood: The Autorité de la concurrence opens an in-depth examination into the creation of a joint venture by the Euralis and Maïsadour groups

On 2 May 2022, the Euralis and Maïsadour groups notified the Autorité de la concurrence of their plan to merge through the creation of a joint venture that would combine their activities in the fattened duck sector.

At the end of the first phase of the review, the Autorité considered that there were serious doubts regarding harm to competition - which the commitments made by the parties do not eliminate as they stand - that justified an in-depth review of the transaction (known as "phase 2").

The start of this phase 2 will be an opportunity for the Autorité to consult market stakeholders through hearings or new market tests.
