        • The acquisition by the company “CEVA Logistics headoffice Bo” of 60% of the shares and exclusive control of the company “AS Transport International”.

Furthermore, the Permanent Commission examined the draft decision to cancel the in-depth study regarding the acquisition by the company “Carlisle” of the company “Draka”, specialized in aeronautical electrical wiring following the request of the notifying party to withdraw its authorization request for the said operation.
