  The Icelandic Competition Authority has examined the merger between Síldarvinnslan hf. and Runólfur Hallfreðsson ehf. Síldarvinnslan is a company that has worked on the development of fishing in waters around Iceland as well as to operate a fish processing. Runólfur Hallfreðsson is a shipping company where the primary emphasis has been placed on pelagic fisheries.

Consequently there is no reason to intervene in this merger on the basis of Article 17 of the Icelandic Competition Act.
