In December 2006, Cargotec agreed to acquire the Italian company CVS Ferrari. The German competition authorities are demanding remedy actions, which Cargotec believes are disproportionate to the impact the contemplated transaction would have on the competitive environment. Cargotec and CVS Ferrari are cooperating in order to find a satisfactory solution in order to finalize the acquisition. However, for the time being both Cargotec and CVS Ferrari continue to be independent competitors pursuing their own business.
