FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Dkt. C-3301]

 

Institut Merieux S.A.; Prohibited Trade Practices and Affirmative 
Corrective Actions

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Modifying Order.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This order reopens the proceeding and modifies the 
Commission's consent order issued on August 6, 1990, by deleting the 
requirement to lease to a third party the rabies vaccine business that 
the company acquired when it purchased Connaught BioSciences, Inc. The 
Commission concluded that the record does not show any approvable 
lessee despite Merieux's efforts to find one, and that retaining the 
lease requirement imposes significant costs on Merieux and could result 
in adverse impact on public health needs.

DATES: Consent Order issued August 6, 1990. Modifying Order issued 
April 22, 1994.\1\

    \1\Copies of the Modifying Order and the statements of Chairman 
Steiger, Commissioners Azcuenaga, Owen, and Starek are available 
from the Commission's Public Reference Branch, H-130, 6th & PA. 
Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20580.
