                    Summary
                    The Competition Authority examined the acquisition of Hlaðbær-Colas Asphalt Plant of certain assets of the contracting company Drafnarfell that concern the milling of asphalt. It was the Authority's assessment that the merger could lead to a restriction of competition due to possible exclusion of other competitors from the asphalt milling services. The merging parties agreed with a settlement to certain commitments that are intended to prevent the harmful effects of the merger.
