He told us that the transfer of assets is in line with the estimated schedule. The documentation for approval was submitted in November 2020, and in the first days of this year the company received the favorable opinion of the European General Directorate for Competition. The transaction must also be approved in the Supreme National Defense Council (CSAT). Safar also said that the auction price was the main selection criterion and MIRA offered the highest bid. The CEO of CEZ Romania did not want to provide details on the price paid by MIRA. We remind you that a Romanian consortium formed by Hidroelectrica, Electrica and SAPE participated without success in the competition for the acquisition of the Romanian assets of the CEZ group.
