L'Air Liquide S.A., et al.; Prohibited Trade Practices and Affirmative Corrective Actions

This order reopens a 1987 consent order--which required L'Air Liquide to divest certain specified air separation gases assets and required prior Commission approval before making certain acquisitions-- and sets aside the consent order pursuant to the Commission's Prior Approval Policy Statement, under which the Commission presumes that the public interest requires setting aside the prior approval requirements in outstanding merger orders and making them consistent with the policy.
