EU Commission OKs Morgan Stanley Infrastructure's Takeover of Nicollin

06:26 AM EDT, 08/19/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The European Commission approved the sole control acquisition of Nicollin, Société Méditerranéenne De Nettoiement, Nicollin Holding Environnement, Nicollin Eau, and MP3D Groupe by US-based Morgan Stanley Infrastructure. The deal, which mainly relates to waste management and water services, is unlikely to raise competition concerns as the companies are not active in the same or vertically related markets, according to a Wednesday release.
