Brisáreas will be responsible for the management, operation and commercial development of service areas in certain motorways operated by Brisa in Portugal.
Brisa constructs, maintains and operates motorway concessions in Portugal and offers ancillary services to road mobility. Áreas, controlled by Elior S.A. of France, operates food service concessions at airports and motorway service areas in Portugal and other European Economic Area countries.
The Commission concluded that the proposed acquisition would raise no competition concerns given its limited impact on the market structure.
The case was examined under the simplified merger review procedure.
