The Commission found that the proposed transaction as initially notified would have given rise to competition concerns in twelve product areas and more than thirty relevant national markets. To address the Commission's concerns, SP offered to divest the overlapping activities in all the markets raising serious doubts. In light of these commitments, the Commission concluded that the proposed transaction would not significantly impede effective competition in the European Economic Area or any substantial part of it.[04] Hausse de 1,2% de la production industrielle dans la zone euroLa production industrielle corrigée des variations saisonnières a augmenté de 1,2% dans la zone euro (ZE13) et de 0,9% dans l'UE27 en août 2007 par rapport à juillet 2007.
