Following a request of the UK Office of Fair Trading ('OFT') under the EU Merger Regulation, the European Commission on 9 August 2005 decided to refer the competence to assess the impact of the joint acquisition of Exeter Airport by the Macquarie Airport Group (MAG) and Ferrovial Aeropuertos to the UK competition authority. The acquiring parties currently also have control of Bristol Airport. The Commission decided to refer the case as the concentration threatened to affect significantly competition in the South West of England in respect of airport infrastructure services to airlines. |
