The Moroccan Competition Council (MCC) is increasingly using remedies to address competition concerns arising from economic concentrations. While still the exception, the MCC has shown willingness to address concerns with remedies and enforce them. Most recently the MCC imposed remedies in two transactions cleared in June 2026. Both concerned acquisitions of Armas Trasmediterránea assets by the Baleària group. Furthermore, the MCC imposed fines on the parties to the Veolia/Suez transactions for failure to comply with remedies imposed.
The MCC has imposed remedies on several transactions across different sectors. These include:
- Newrest’s acquisition of Sodexo Maroc;
- Sika’s acquisition of MBCC Group;
