La CNMC analizará la concentración Bondalti Chemicals/Ercros en segunda fase
Sector: Nota de prensa
Ámbito CNMC: Competencia
- Bondalti notificó la adquisición del control exclusivo de Ercros el pasado 9 de julio de 2024.
- La operación puede suponer riesgos para la competencia en los mercados de sosa cáustica e hipoclorito sódico, por lo que requiere un análisis en mayor profundidad.
La Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC) ha acordado, con fecha 18 de diciembre de 2024, el inicio de la segunda fase del análisis de la concentración Bondalti Chemicals/Ercros (C/1480/24).
La operación consiste en la adquisición del control exclusivo de Ercros por parte de Bondalti, a través de una oferta pública de adquisición (OPA) hostil que fue presentada el 5 de marzo de 2024.
Apertura de la segunda fase
El sector económico afectado por la operación es la fabricación de productos básicos de química orgánica e inorgánica, en especial los mercados del cloro y sus derivados, en los que se solapa la actividad de las partes.
La potencial adquisición puede suponer riesgos para la competencia en los mercados de sosa cáustica e hipoclorito sódico y, por ello, la CNMC ha acordado analizar la operación en segunda fase. Este paso no prejuzga las conclusiones definitivas que la CNMC pueda alcanzar sobre la concentración.
Análisis en profundidad
Durante la primera fase del procedimiento, la CNMC ha investigado la situación de competencia en los mercados afectados. Esto facilitará el análisis en segunda fase, que estudiará en mayor profundidad la operación y, en particular, los mercados afectados de sosa cáustica e hipoclorito sódico.
Durante esta fase, Ercros y otros terceros con interés legítimo podrán presentar alegaciones. Bondalti, por su parte, también podrá formular alegaciones y aportar más información. Además, se solicitará un informe preceptivo a las comunidades autónomas en las que la concentración incida de forma significativa.
La resolución final que apruebe la CNMC podrá autorizar, aceptar compromisos, imponer condiciones o prohibir la operación de concentración Bondalti Chemicals/Ercros.

L’Autorité réforme, à droit constant, sa procédure de traitement du secret des affaires dans le cadre de l’instruction des dossiers
Publié le 13 janvier 2025
Cette réforme vise à réduire les délais de traitement du secret des affaires à travers :
– l’application rigoureuse par les parties de la notion de secret des affaires ;
– la réduction du nombre de décisions de traitement du secret des affaires multiples. L’objectif est de n’adopter, par principe, qu’une seule décision par partie concernée, accordant, refusant partiellement ou totalement la protection et, le cas échéant, une seule décision levant cette protection.

Details
This review summarises recent evidence on the deterrent effect of competition authorities’ work and the relationship between competition and productivity. This builds on previous reports on these topics published in 2017 and 2015 respectively.
The review finds new evidence continues to support those previous reports. We identify additional evidence of the existence of a substantial deterrent effect from enforcement action and merger control. We also find further evidence that effective competition policy has positive impacts on innovation, productivity and growth.
