REUTERS/Wolfgang RattayBRUSSELS: Elanco Animal Health secured EU antitrust clearance on Monday to buy Bayer's veterinary drugs unit after pledging to sell some products to address competition concerns about the US$7.6 billion deal.
The European Commission said the companies will sell either Elanco or Bayer's products or those in the pipeline, including licenses, contracts and brands, to treat otitis, anticoccidials, parasiticides for pets in Europe."With the divestment of current and pipeline products treating ear infections and parasites in pets and livestock, the merger can go ahead whilst preserving competition and innovation in these markets," European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said.
The deal would create the world's second largest animal health company, with analysts expecting the US$44 billion animal health sector to grow 5per cent-6per cent per year, driven by an increase in livestock farming and spending on pets.
