In a statement, the Commission said that, in particular, it found that the transaction would have created important vertical links between CMA CGM's upstream container lining shipping activities on routes connecting Europe with Martinique, Guadeloupe, and French Guiana, and also Bolloré Logistics' downstream sea freight forwarding activities in those territories. The Commission found that CMA CGM could have the ability and incentive to favor Bolloré Logistics at the expense of rival freight forwarders, in particular in view of CMA CGM's very high market shares on these overseas routes and the competitive structures in these territories. The proposed remedies that address the Commission's competition concerns, are that the parties divest all of Bolloré Logistics' activities in Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Martin, and French Guiana; and a number of assets in metropolitan France linked to these activities.
