Steering Mergers Through the EU's Regulatory Rocks:: Remedies Under the EU Merger Control Regulation

European Management Journal, 2002, vol. 20, issue 5, 549-561

Abstract: Remedies are increasingly used to modify merger proposals and obtain clearance under the EU Merger Control Regulation. Although remedial policy is one of the most rapidly evolving areas of European merger control and is of considerable importance to firms seeking to frame their deals to win regulatory approval, it has received comparatively little attention. This paper examines features of the policy from a managerial perspective in the light of the European Commission's recent guidance notice (press release IP/00/1525, 21 December), case evidence and related literature. An understanding of the Commission's approach should decrease the risk of proposed deals either being damaged unnecessarily or breaking up on the EU's regulatory rocks.
