BRUSSELS, March 10 (Reuters) - ArcelorMittal , the world's largest steelmaker, won permission from the European Commission on Monday to buy Galvex, an Estonian steel galvanising line.
The proposed merger would create an overlap in the market for galvanised strip and coils, where both ArcelorMittal and Galvex are active, the Commission, top competition regulator of the 27-country European Union, said in a statement.
"However, the Commission's investigation found that the operation would not give rise to competition concerns in this market, as Galvex's share in the EEA (European Economic Area) market is very low (0.5 percent) and a number of other significant competitors are active on this market," it said.
