The European Commission adopted a package of reforms of its merger control regime on 11 December 2002. Besides a proposal for a revised Merger Regulation, which requires approval by EU ministers, the European Commission also adopted draft guidelines on the appraisal of mergers between competing firms ('horizontal mergers') providing guidance to the business and legal community. Last but not least, a series of non-legislative measures will be taken which are intended to improve the Commission's decision-making process, including the creation of a post of Chief Competition Economist. |
