Taiwan’s Fair Trade Commission blocked Uber‘s (UBER) $950M purchase of Delivery Hero’s (DLVHF) Foodpanda business over concerns it would be anti-competitive, Reuters reports. Delivery Hero said in a statement Uber may appeal the commission’s decision or terminate the acquisition. “In the food delivery platform market, UberEats’ main competitive pressure comes from Foodpanda. The merger would eliminate this competitive pressure,” Chen Chih-min, vice chairman of Taiwan’s FTC, said, according to Reuters.
