The European Commission has approved the proposed takeover of New NP, the Areva Group’s nuclear reactor business, by French state-controlled utility Electricite de France (EDF). The Commission had already concluded in January that France’s proposal to grant aid to Areva in the form of a capital injection of €4.5bn ($5bn) was in line with EU state aid rules. It ruled that payment of the aid was subject to certain conditions, including authorisation of the sale of Areva's reactor business to EDF under EU merger rules. Approval of the takeover means that this condition has now been met.
