The Commission noted that the merged entity will remain a net buyer of precious metals, and therefore concluded that it will not be in a position to deny competitors access to precious metal supplies. Finally, the Commission concluded that the merged entity's new position in the automotive recycling business would not confer on it a significant competitive advantage, since the main manufacturers of automotive catalysts are also providers of such services.
Enfin, la Commission a convenu que la nouvelle position détenue par l'entité issue de l'opération de concentration dans le secteur du recyclage automobile ne lui conférerait pas un avantage concurrentiel important, puisque les principaux producteurs de catalyseurs automobiles proposent également des services de ce type.
