Ukraine/Ireland: Ukraine's Antimonopoly Committee (AMKU) has allowed Jura-Cement Fabriken AG, a subsidiary of Ireland's Cement Roadstone Holding (CRH), to acquire control of LLC Cement in Odessa. The AMKU committee said that this decision allows Jura-Cement-Fabriken to hold over 50% of the votes in the Odessa plant's management body.

The Odessa Cement Plant started operations in 1965 and its capacity is currently 550,000t/yr. The plant was acquired in May 2005 by the Portuguese company Cimento e Produtos Associados S.A., which is owned by Cimpor, Teixeira Duarte and Engenharia e Construcoes, amongst others. LLC Cement's general director, Miguel Machado, has stated that Euro40m has been invested in the Odessa plant since 1996. CRH currently owns OJSC Podolsk Cement and LLC Lviv Concrete in Ukraine.
