EU/DENMARK: Danish Crown/Steff-Houlberg merger reviewed by Danish competition authority
Consideration of the proposed merger between Danish slaughterhouses Danish Crown and Steff-Houlberg has been referred to the Danish competition authority. After a preliminary review, the European Commission referred the consideration onto the Danish competition authority because it decided that the deal would primarily affect the Danish market, where the companies are the two largest pork meat competitors.
