The European Commission has adopted a Green Paper on 11 December 2001 aimed at launching a debate on the functioning of the European Union's merger control law. After 11 years of applying the Merger Regulation, one of the pillars of EU competition policy, the Commission asks, among other things, whether more mergers should benefit from the one-stop-shop review rather than being filed with several national competition authorities, and suggests an easier referral system for transactions which have their main centre of gravity in one Member State.
