The Commission examined whether the acquisition by BP of full control of Veba Oel would give rise to competition problems, but considered that it would not alter the competitive situation in the market since the put option was already contained in the 2001 agreement, that BP already had joint control and that the JV was no longer acting as an independent competitor of BP.
La Commission a examiné si l'acquisition par BP du contrôle complet de Veba Oel entraînait des problèmes de concurrence, mais a estimé que cette acquisition ne modifierait pas la situation concurrentielle sur ce marché, étant donné que l'option de vente figurait déjà dans l'accord de 2001, que BP disposait déjà du contrôle en commun et que l'entreprise commune ne constituait plus un concurrent indépendant de BP.
