The Commission
has launched a consultation focusing on possible improvements of the EU Merger
Regulation contained in the White Paper "towards more effective merger
control". The proposals in particular include:
A light and tailor-made review of
those acquisitions of non-controlling minority shareholdings which could harm
competition.
Making case referrals between Member
States and the Commission more business-friendly and effective.
Making procedures simpler.
Fostering coherence and convergence.
