Book excerpt: Merger control in the United Kingdom has recently entered a new phase in its development. The advent of the relevant aspects of the Enterprise Act 2002 has been welcomed as a 'depoliticisation' of the regime. The role of the Secretary of State has been all but excised, and the substantivecriteria against which mergers are assessed have been revised to offer formally a competition-based standard. Together with guidance published subsequently, the reforms also prescribe a range of new procedural guarantees for those parties affected under the regime. In addition, the EC mergercontrol regime and in particular the nature of its relationship with the competent authorities of the Member States has been significantly revised.It is against this backdrop that the authors - leading experts with first rate regulatory, practical and academic experience - offer a comprehensive statement of the law, architecture, and procedure of merger control in the United Kingdom; explain the factors pertinent to the economic appraisal ofmergers in a manner accessible to a legal audience; and give invaluable practical guidance on managing the transactional process and regulatory risk.

Download or read book Mergers Merger Control and Remedies written by John Kwoka and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive analysis of merger outcomes based on all empirical studies, with an assessment of the effectiveness of antitrust policy toward mergers. In recent decades, antitrust investigations and cases targeting mergers—including those involving Google, Ticketmaster, and much of the domestic airline industry—have reshaped industries and changed business practices profoundly. And yet there has been a relative dearth of detailed evaluations of the effects of mergers and the effectiveness of merger policy. In this book, John Kwoka, a noted authority on industrial organization, examines all reliable empirical studies of the effect of specific mergers and develops entirely new information about the policies and remedies of antitrust agencies regarding these mergers. Combined with data on outcomes, this policy information enables analysis of, and creates new insights into, mergers, merger policies, and the effectiveness of remedies in preventing anticompetitive outcomes. After an overview of mergers, merger policy, and a common approach to merger analysis, Kwoka offers a detailed analysis of the studied mergers, relevant policies, and chosen remedies. Kwoka finds, first and foremost, that most of the studied mergers resulted in competitive harm, usually in the form of higher product prices but also with respect to various non-price outcomes. Other important findings include the fact that joint ventures and code sharing arrangements do not result in such harm and that policies intended to remedy mergers—especially conduct remedies—are not generally effective in restraining price increases. The book's uniquely comprehensive analysis advances our understanding of merger decisions and policies, suggests policy improvements for competition agencies and remedies, and points the way to future research.

Download or read book Mergers and Acquisitions and Joint Ventures written by Barry E. Hawk and published by Juris Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2004 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume includes selected chapters from the annual proceedings of the Fordham Corporate Law Institute. The general subject is the antitrust or competition law analysis of mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures which is a subject of increasing importance. In the last ten years there have been radical changes around the globe in the application of antitrust laws to mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures, including both domestic transactions and transborder transactions. For example, there has been a rabbiting proliferation of merger control systems which require premerger notification and entail global or world bars on closing. Today over 70 jurisdictions have merger control systems. Although differences continue to exist in the substantive tests and analyses, there is a gowing convergence with jurisdictions looking to prior and contemporaneous decisions and analyses in other jurisdictions, notably in the European Community and the United States. Thus most of the chapters focus on the antitrust treatment of merger and acquisitions under the EC Merger regulation and the Clayton Act.
