Invitation to comment: Now closed

8 January 2015: The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is considering whether it is or may be the case that the proposed transaction whereby Zoll Circulation has acquired certain assets related to Philips鈥� InnerCool temperature management business, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation under the merger provisions of the Enterprise Act 2002 and, if so, whether the creation of that situation may be expected to result, in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services.
