**What it does not test.** It does not disclose the purchase price and does not by itself secure new orders for the combined design house.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. French firm buys French firm; already European-owned, no sovereignty question shifts. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
