Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority

Office for Competition

On the 12th September, 2012, the Office for Competition within the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority cleared, under the Control of Concentrations Regulations, 2002, the creation of a joint venture between Gasan Enterprises Limited, Mira Holdings Limited, Mira Motor Sales Limited and Associated Motors Company Limited for the provision of a motor vehicle dealership and related services in Malta. The Office concluded that the creation of the joint venture, to be known as GasanZammit Motors Limited would not substantially lessen competition because the proposed transaction will not significantly alter the market structures and the merged entity will face competition from other players.

The transaction was notified to the Office on the 2nd August, 2012.

A non-confidential version of this decision will be available at a later date on: (www.mccaa.org.mt).
