The European Community (surprise, surprise!) has killed the proposed merger of GE and Honeywell. Obviously, it is in the interest of the European
Community to have most of the big, healthy (well, as healthy as you can get this year anyway) automation companies owned and controlled by the EC, so it isn't a complete shock to have the EC play dealbreaker.
What does this mean for the automation community? Will GE continue in the automation business? Can Honeywell, in the shape it is in, continue on alone? Or will the EC bless a Siemens/Honeywell merger where they wouldn't
allow one with GE?
Inquiring minds want to know.
