  • [01] Commission clears Syngenta acquisition of seed producer Advanta subject to sale of European operations

    The European Commission has cleared, under the Merger Regulation, the proposed acquisition of Dutch-based seed producer Advanta B.V. by Swiss- based Syngenta Crop Protection AG. Regulatory clearance is conditional on the subsequent divestment of Advanta’s entire European operations to remove concerns about reduced competition in the market for sugar beet seeds among others.

    [02] Pérou: aide humanitaire d’urgence de 1,9 millions € aux victimes de la vague de froid

    La Commission européenne accorde une aide humanitaire d’urgence de 1,9 million € destinée à près de 30.000 habitants des départements andins de Apurimac, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cusco, Moquegua, Puno et Tacna, touchés par la vague de froid et les tempêtes de neige extrêmes de juillet 2004. Ce financement, décidé après un appel officiel du gouvernement péruvien, sera alloué par le biais de l’Office d’aide humanitaire de la Commission européenne (ECHO). L’aide porte sur deux secteurs principaux : sécurité alimentaire, par l’assistance à la survie de 200 000 têtes de bétail sous forme de fourrage, soins vétérinaires et construction d’étables, et la formation des populations et des autorités locales afin d'augmenter leur capacité à faire face à des catastrophes naturelles dans des régions où elles sont régulières.
