Prosus wins conditional EU antitrust nod for Just Eat Takeaway deal
FILE PHOTO: A Just Eat delivery rider cycles through Manchester, Britain, August 23, 2023. REUTERS/Phil Noble/File Photo BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Dutch technology investor Prosus gained European Union antitrust approval on Monday for its 4.1 billion euro ($4.76 billion) bid for Just Eat Takeaway, after agreeing to sell down its stake in Delivery Hero. Amsterdam-headquartered Prosus, which is majority owned by South Africa's Naspers, announced the deal in February, banking on its artificial intelligence capability to boost Just Eat Takeaway, Europe's biggest meal delivery company. The European Commission, which acts as the EU competition enforcer, said Naspers offered to significantly reduce its 27.4% stake in Delivery Hero to below a specified very low percentage within 12 months, confirming a Reuters story. Naspers also pledged not to exercise the voting rights with its remaining limited stake in Delivery Hero and also not to increase its stake beyond the specified maximum level. It will not recommend or propose any person to Delivery Hero's management and supervisory boards. Prosus said the EU decision was the final regulatory approval needed to close the offer which ends on October 1 and that if all offer conditions including the acceptance threshold for the deal are met by that date, it will declare its offer unconditional within three business days. "Our ambition is clear: to build a true European tech champion and lead the next chapter in food delivery innovation," Prosus CEO Fabricio Bloisi said in a statement. EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera said Naspers' concessions will preserve competition and consumer choice. "This decision also sends a clear warning to an industry with recent antitrust issues: we won't tolerate any anti-competitive behaviour that may harm consumers," she said. Delivery Hero and its Spanish unit Glovo were fined 329 million euros by the EU antitrust watchdog in June for taking part in a cartel which included an agreement to divide up markets among themselves and not to poach each other's employees. The deal would make Prosus the world's fourth-largest food delivery company after Meituan, DoorDash and Uber, according to ING analysts.

Hazelnut prices soar after April frost damages Turkish harvest
ISTANBUL: Wholesale hazelnut prices have surged this harvest season following frost damage in Turkey, the world's largest producer, reported German Press Agency (dpa). According to the Amsterdam-based commodity data platform Vesper BV, a metric tonne of Turkish hazelnuts now costs around €9,400 (US$10,900) – an increase of roughly 34 per cent since the start of the year. In April, a cold snap damaged Turkey's crop, pushing prices higher even before the harvest began. Agriculture Minister Ibrahim Yumakli called it one of the worst frost weather condition in Turkey's history. Experts have pointed to climate change, which they say is making extreme weather events more frequent, as the underlying cause. Around 60 per cent of the world's hazelnuts grow primarily on the green mountain slopes along Turkey's Black Sea coast, where the nut is called "green gold" because of its economic importance. Hamburg trading house Schlüter & Maack estimates that wholesale prices for Turkish hazelnuts have risen by about 40 per cent since the cold snap. Surplus from previous harvests and good yields in other producing countries have partly offset the losses. In Turkey, the state Grain Board – a kind of market regulator – raised the minimum purchase price for hazelnuts just days ago. This year, the price is about €4.20 (US$4.89) per kilogramme. Measured in the local currency, the lira, which has been repeatedly devalued, this amounts to an increase of more than 50 per cent. The last major frost-related crop failure in Turkey occurred in 2014.

Dutch are first to buy US arms for Ukraine under Nato scheme
Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof stressed the urgent need for weapons, pointing to Russia's near-daily attacks on Ukraine. (EPA images pic) THE HAGUE : The Netherlands will buy €500 million (US$577 million) of US weapons for Ukraine, becoming the first Nato member to fund a full package under a new scheme to speed deliveries from American stockpiles, the defence ministry said. The purchase will be under the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) mechanism launched by US President Donald Trump and Nato secretary-general Mark Rutte last month. Under the scheme, countries pay Washington for defence systems and munitions in US warehouses that are then shipped to Ukraine, which has been battling a Russian invasion since February 2022. 'The Netherlands is now taking the lead in supplying military equipment from American stockpiles,' Dutch defence minister Ruben Brekelmans said on X. 'By supporting Ukraine with determination, we are increasing the pressure on Russia to negotiate.' Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof in a call on Monday evening. 'These weapons are badly needed,' Schoof posted on X, highlighting the near-daily drone and missile attacks by Russia. The Dutch package includes US Patriot missile parts and other systems tailored to Ukraine's front-line requirements, according to the defence ministry. Brekelmans called the Russian air strikes 'pure terror' and warned that Moscow's advance into Ukrainian territory could pose a broader threat to Europe. 'The more Russia dominates Ukraine, the greater the danger to the Netherlands and our Nato allies,' he said. Washington is releasing military support for Ukraine in US$500 million tranches under the PURL mechanism. While other allies have pledged to join the initiative, the Netherlands is the first to transfer funds. It has already pledged tanks, drones, ammunition and support for F-16 training and delivery to Ukraine. Nato secretary-general Mark Rutte welcomed the move, calling it a vital first step under the new framework. 'Great to see the Netherlands taking the lead and funding the first package of US military equipment for Ukraine,' he said on X. 'I thank Allies for getting Ukraine the equipment it urgently needs to defend against Russian aggression.'
