Abstract:

This article describes to what extent EU merger control practice takes into account the specificities of different sectors when assessing innovation effects, in the context of applying remedies. The pharmaceutical, ICT and telecom sectors are exemplified via a number of influential cases. It will be stated to what extent innovation goals are similar across sectors and why it should be sufficiently evaluated whether such goals will be accomplished by a certain merger control decision.
