Inquiry into March UK ltd acquisitions

Posted by | Oct 27, 2003 | |

The Competition Commission has sent an issues letter, to March UK, as part of its inquiry into the recent acquisition of the home shopping and home delivery businesses of GUS.

Such letters are always sent before the Commission has reached any conclusions and are designed to highlight matters that have been identified for further consideration. This statement is being made public to give interested parties the opportunity to bring to the Commission’s attention, in the next two weeks, any further points that they wish to raise. The Commission has reached no conclusions about whether any matters operate or may be expected to operate against the public interest and will not do so until after it has discussed these issues with the parties concerned.

USPS seeks to tighten security

Posted by | Oct 26, 2003 | |

The Postal Service has proposed a new rule requiring sender identification of discount-rate mail, which is considered the first step toward removing the anonymity of all mailings.
