Vinge advises KF on the acquisition of Coop Sverige

December 20, 2007

Vinge advises KF on the acquisition of Coop Sverige, a grocery retailer. Thereby, KF will be transformed from a pure owner and investment company to a retail group. The three founders of Coop Norden – Swedish KF, Danish FDB and Norwegian NKL – agree to transfer Coop Norden’s retail business and wholesaler and industrial business to the original owners in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. The KF group, Coop Sverige and the consumer associations together have a turnover of appr. 40 billion kronor and have a total of appr. 17,000 employees.

KF is represented by partners Johan Winnerblad and Christina Kokko assisted by Anna Palmérus.

Vinge authors the Swedish contribution regarding tax disputes for The Legal 500

 International companies run the risk of the erroneous management of tax issues when conducting operations in several jurisdictions. In such event, disputes can arise with the relevant tax authorities. The Legal 500 has now introduced a dedicated chapter on tax disputes in its comparative guide for the first time and Ulrika Bengtsson, advokat and counsel, has been selected to provide a clear picture of the Swedish tax litigation system.

The wide reach of the prohibition against circumventing EU sanctions

Against the background of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the EU has imposed a number of sanctions, which include a prohibition for companies within the EU to take certain measures in relation to Russia, as well as designated Russian people and entities on the sanction lists. Furthermore, a prohibition to circumvent the sanctions has been introduced in order to ensure that the sanctions are effective also in practice. When it comes to this circumvention prohibition, it is important to be aware of its wide interpretation, as established by the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Commission.
