Aventis go-ahead means herbicide sell-off


THE European Commission has given conditional approval to the merger of Hoechst and Rhone-Poulenc.

The combined company, Aventis, will have about £12 billion in annual sales.

Aventis is committed to selling off its remaining chemical activities and Hoechst has also agreed to sell its cereal herbicide unit.
