15 September 2016
On 1 September 2016, the European Commission cleared a 50/50 joint venture between VimpelCom's subsidiary WIND and CK Hutchison's subsidiary 3 Italia (or H3G), respectively the third and fourth largest mobile network operators in the Italian market. The EU merger clearance decision is conditional on the divestment of sufficient assets to France-based Iliad to allow it to enter the Italian market.
