Mannesmann, A.G.; Prohibited Trade Practices and Affirmative Corrective Actions

This order reopens a 1992 consent order--which required Mannesmann to divest the Buschman Co. and to obtain, for 10 years, Commission approval prior to acquiring any business that manufactures and sells certain conveyor systems--and sets aside the consent order pursuant to the Commission's Prior Approval Policy Statement. The order cites the availability of the premerger notification and waiting period requirements, and noted that under the Policy Statement, the Commission presumes that the public interest requires setting aside the prior approval requirement in Paragraph V of the order.
