As previously announced the Office of Fair Trading had requested jurisdiction over the merger of the UK travel retail businesses of Thomas Cook, the Co-operative Group and Midlands Co-operative on grounds that the merger solely relates to the UK. On 6 January 2011, The European Commission notified Thomas Cook that it has granted this referral request and the OFT will have 45 working days on receipt of a complete notification to investigate. We will continue to work closely with the OFT to obtain a rapid clearance.
