3 Nov 2025 Groupe ParfaitFrance: 7.6 million EUR against Groupe Parfait for failing to meet merger remedies (Martinique) €7.6m
In 2022, clearance of an acquisition in food retail in Martinique was made conditional on the divestiture of a Géant Casino hypermarket by September 2023; Parfait only sold it in September 2025, allowed the value of the assets to deteriorate and obstructed the trustee (decision 25-D-05). Fines: 4.5 million EUR (divestiture), 2.5 million EUR (preservation of value), 600,000 EUR (cooperation).
Merger control commitments are binding – missed deadlines and a lack of cooperation with the trustee are sanctioned separately.
