The OFT has decided today not to refer the anticipated acquisition by Boots plc of Alliance UniChem plc to the Competition Commission provided that satisfactory undertakings to address the competition concerns arising from the supply of retail pharmacy services in certain localities in the UK are given. If the parties do not give such undertakings, then the transaction will be referred.
