European Commission approves the acquisition of Falconbridge by Inco

Following an in-depth investigation, the European Commission has cleared the acquisition of Falconbridge by Inco, subject to divestments. Both companies are active in the mining, processing and refining of nickel and other metals. The merger was also investigated by the DOJ (and approved subject to a consent decree). A CRA International team of competition economists (from London, Washington and New York) and mining and metal experts (from Boston) advised Inco both before the DOJ and the European Commission.
