The Slovenian competition authority, known as the Agencija za varstvo konkurence, has made a significant decision regarding the concentration of two companies. The authority reviewed the proposed merger between SES Spar European Shopping Centers GmbH, based in Salzburg, Austria, and TC Arkadia, a real estate company located in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

After thorough evaluation, the authority concluded that the merger does not raise any competition concerns. It stated that the concentration is in line with the existing competition rules, allowing the two companies to proceed with their business integration without any restrictions.

This decision reflects the authority's commitment to maintaining a competitive market environment while also recognizing the potential benefits of business consolidations in the retail and real estate sectors.
