Control of mergers: A necessary role for the European Commission

Francis Fishwick

European Management Journal, 1988, vol. 6, issue 3, 216-222

Abstract: Dr Fishwick has worked on developments in policy towards mergers for several years, including studies for the European Commission's Directorate-General IV. In this article, he specifically considers recent changes in merger policy in France, in the UK, and from the viewpoint of the European Commission. Increasing control over mergers is a very apparent trend, another in the general move towards liberalisation and deregulation inherent in "1992". The author argues that European Community control should outrank national policies since the emphasis of "1992" is more on the international aspects of competition activity than on the national.
