Merger control in Europe has continued to evolve rapidly. In
addition to significant changes in the national merger control
regimes in Denmark, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and
Portugal, a new EU Merger Regulation is expected to enter into
force on 1 May 2004 - a measure that will launch the most
far-reaching reform of European merger control since the adoption
of the EC Merger Regulation in December 1989. This updated edition
offers practitioners expert guidance through the next phase of this
crucial aspect of business and economic activity in Europe. Like
earlier editions, this edition of "Merger Control in Europe"
introduces practitioners and interested academics to the issues of
merger control which are relevant when preparing an acquisition
within the European Union. In order to provide insight into problem
areas at each national level, and to allow possible comparisons, it
includes a chapter on each of the 14 EU countries with a merger
control regime, as well as one on the EU itself. In addition, as a
first step towards the expected enlargement of the European Union
in 2004, this edition welcomes contributions on Hungary, Poland,
the Czech Republic and Cyprus. For each jurisdiction, the major
elements of merger control law - the definition of concentration,
control or notification thresholds, procedure and substantive test
clearance or appraisal, as well as other issues unique to each
country - are all covered in some detail. For any of the
jurisdictions, the practitioner should quickly be able to determine
the precise scope of such important considerations as the
following: concept of concentration; notification requirements;
procedural time-frame; sanctions for violation of procedural rules;
special rules governing banks, building and loan associations, the
media sector, insurance and other specific areas of business;
political intervention possibilities; publicity and
confidentiality; consultation of works council; co-operation within
the framework of the European Competition Authorities (ECA); test
for clearance; economic benefits and disadvantages analysis; what
constitutes substantial lessening of competition; remedies (both
behavioural and structural); and appeal against decisions regarding
the test for clearance. Each chapter, written by one or more
practising lawyers from major European law firms, is grounded in
the relevant law and takes into account changes in legislation and
recent decisions. The book also contains a detailed introductory
20-page chart allowing readers to compare the basic elements of
merger control law in all of the countries covered and in the EU.
