Download or read book European Merger Control written by Catalin Stefan Rusu and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years of experience have inevitably brought to light challenges and tensions in the enforcement of the European merger control system. Some of these challenges have been faced, some have been solved and some remain latent. This very valuable study starts from the proposition that the EU has never fully acknowledged those fundamental challenges which relate to the rationale behind merger control in Europe. The author shows how the Commission's focus on adapting the rules of merger control to the economic realities of the future business environment, although designed with a view to facilitating European integration, has compromised attainment of legal certainty, transparency and welfare enhancement. In its detailed evaluation of the 'future market structure prediction process' embedded in European merger control policy, this book approaches two rock-bottom, far-reaching questions: In what ways does merger control promote consumer and societal welfare? Is the Commission able to correctly predict the outcome of any given concentration transaction? These considerations take the reader through a deep and searching analysis that calls into question the very credibility and transparency of the system, leading to alternatives which promise a new clarity of purpose and procedure. The author describes how these recommendations can be integrated into the functioning framework of the European project. Taken fully into account along the way is a wide spectrum of relevant source material, including the following: applicable articles and chapters of the founding and subsequent European Treaties; secondary European legislation concerning competition and merger activity; domestic competition laws; guidelines, notices and action plans; competition law reviews, statements of intentions; draft legislative attempts; speeches on the enactment and purpose of merger control; Member States' views concerning European merger control as expressed during Council negotiations; officially available concentration-related statistics; and a wide-ranging literature review covering both the legal and economic sides of merger control. Throughout, the author substantiates theoretical assertions with case law examples, clearly exposing doctrines arising from such cases as Continental Can, Phillip Morris/Rothmans and the Airtours, Schneider and Tetra Laval trilogy. A unique feature of the analysis draws on the author's personal experience while working for a Brussels competition law firm. This book is a remarkable compound of academic guide to the roots and rationales of the European Merger Control System, practical guide to the day-to-day intricacies of merger control enforcement, and 'raw' guide for decision makers and merger control law enforcers. It will be of immense value in all three contexts.

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.

Download or read book The European Commission s Jurisdiction to Scrutinise Mergers written by Morten Broberg and published by Springer. This book was released on 1998-04-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No major business or law firm can afford to disregard the European Commission's power in the control of mergers. Since the Council of Ministers adopted the EC Merger Regulation in 1989, The power of the European Commission has increased steadily. The scope of the Merger Regulation now occupies a central role in many mergers taking place both inside and outside the European Community. To come within the scope of merger regulation and thus within the Commission's jurisdiction, a merger must possess a `community dimension'. Despite the careful definition of this term in the Merger Regulation itself, The concept has created problems in many cases. The European Commission's Jurisdiction to Scrutinise Mergers offers a comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of all aspects of the community dimension concept. The most thorough examination of the Commission's jurisdiction to examine mergers under the EC Merger Regulation, The European Commission's Jurisdiction to Scrutinise Mergers serves as a valuable guide for businesses, their legal advisors, and competition law enforcers in both the Commission And The Member States.

Download or read book Joint Ventures and EU Competition Law written by Luís Morais and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-18 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the treatment of joint ventures (JVs) in EU Competition Law, and at the same time provides a comparison with US law. It starts with an analysis of the rather elusive concept of JV, encompassing both concentrative JVs (subject to merger control) and non-concentrative JVs. Although focused on possible definitions of joint ventures in terms of competition law, it also includes a broader perspective (going beyond competition law) on the different legal models of structuring cooperation links between undertakings. At the core of the book is an attempt to build an analytical model for the assessment of JVs in terms of antitrust law, especially as regards Article 101 of the TFEU. The analytical model used proposes a set of sequential analytical levels, taking into account structural factors and specific factors related to the main constituent elements of the functional programmes of JVs. The model is applied to a substantive assessment of four main types of JVs identified on the basis of their prevailing economic function: research and development JVs; production JVs; commercialization JVs; and purchasing JVs. Also covered are particular situations of joint ownership of undertakings falling short of joint control. In the concluding part of the book recent developments in JV antitrust law are put into context within the wider reform of EU Competition Law. The book is also comprehensively updated with the latest developments concerning the reform of the EU framework of horizontal cooperation between undertakings that took place at the end of 2010.

This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 1618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new Sixth Edition of a major work by the well-known competition law team at Van Bael & Bellis in Brussels brings the book up to date to take account of the many developments in the case law and relevant legislation that have occurred since the Fifth Edition in 2010. The authors have also taken the opportunity to write a much-extended chapter on private enforcement and a dedicated section on competition law in the pharmaceutical sector. As one would expect, the new edition continues to meet the challenge for businesses and their counsel, providing a thoroughly practical guide to the application of the EU competition rules. The critical commentary cuts through the theoretical underpinnings of EU competition law to expose its actual impact on business. In this comprehensive new edition, the authors examine such notable developments as the following: important rulings concerning the concept of a restriction by object under Article 101; the extensive case law in the field of cartels, including in relation to cartel facilitation and price signalling; important Article 102 rulings concerning pricing and exclusivity, including the Post Danmark and Intel judgments, as well as standard essential patents; the current block exemption and guidelines applicable to vertical agreements, including those applicable to the motor vehicle sector; developments concerning online distribution, including the Pierre Fabre and Coty rulings; the current guidelines and block exemptions in the field of horizontal cooperation, including the treatment of information exchange; the evolution of EU merger control, including court defeats suffered by the Commission and the case law on procedural infringements; the burgeoning case law related to pharmaceuticals, including concerning reverse payment settlements; the current technology transfer guidelines and block exemption; procedural developments, including in relation to the right to privacy, access to file, parental liability, fining methodology, inability to pay and hybrid settlements; the implementation of the Damages Directive and the first interpretative rulings. As a comprehensive, up-to-date and above all practical analysis of the EU competition rules as developed by the Commission and EU Courts, this authoritative new edition of a classic work stands alone. Like its predecessors, it will be of immeasurable value to both business persons and their legal advisers.
