## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order revokes the Merger Situation (Medicopharma NV and AAH Holdings plc) (Interim Provision) Order 1992. The earlier Order was made with a view to achieving the purpose of an order which the Secretary of State had under consideration for remedying or preventing the adverse effects specified in the report of the Monopolies and Mergers Commission entitled “AAH Holdings plc/Medicopharma NV – a report on the merger situation” (Cm 1950, published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office). The Secretary of State does not now have under consideration the form of order which he was considering when the earlier Order was made.
The earlier Order prohibited AAH Holdings plc and its subsidiaries from soliciting former customers in Grampian and Highland regions of Medicopharma NV or its subsidiaries and prohibited them from supplying goods to those former customers upon terms more favourable than the terms upon which they supplied goods to other customers in Scotland. The earlier Order also required AAH Holdings plc and its subsidiaries to maintain the value of assets acquired from Medicopharma or its subsidiaries and to keep them separate so that they could be disposed of.
