Summary:

Effective inter-agency cooperation may significantly reduce the burdens and costs for stakeholders in multi-jurisdictional mergers, as well as the risk of potential inconsistent outcomes of merger review. Mindful of the potential benefits of cooperation, the European Commission has invested significantly in achieving and enhancing cooperation with its counterparts over the years. The 2015 ICN Merger Working Group Practical Guide to International Enforcement Cooperation in Mergers elaborates on practices, tips and tools which may be used by agencies, merging parties and third parties when they seek to cooperate effectively.
