Konkurencijos taryba cleared the acquisition of 100 per cent and sole control of the Estonian company Veho Eesti AS by the Finnish-based firm Auto-Bon Oy.

On 13 December 2019 Konkurencijos taryba received merger notification. Having evaluated the circumstances related to the transaction, the authority acknowledged that the intended merger would not create or strengthen the dominant position, or significantly restrict competition in the relevant markets.

Veho Eesti AS is a wholesaler of Citroën brand commercial and passenger cars and spare parts in Lithuania.

The intended merger must be notified to Konkurencijos taryba and clearance must be obtained if the combined aggregate income of merging parties in the business year preceding the merger exceeds EUR 20 million and the aggregate income of each of at least two merging parties in the business year preceding the merger exceeds EUR 2 million.
