Description: No major business or law firm can afford to disregard the European Commission's power in the control of mergers. Since the Council of Ministers adopted the EC Merger Regulation in 1989, the power of the European Commission has increased steadily. The scope of the Merger Regulation now occupies a central role in many mergers taking place both inside & outside the European Community. One key issue: To come within the scope of merger regulation & thus within the Commission's jurisdiction, a merger must possess a 'Community dimension.' Despite the careful definition of this term in the Merger Regulation itself, the concept has created problems in many cases. The European Commission's Jurisdiction to Scrutinise Mergers offers a comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of all aspects of the community dimension concept. The most thorough examination of the Commission's jurisdiction to examine mergers under the EC Merger Regulation, The European Commission's Jurisdiction to Scrutinise Mergers serves as a valuable guide for businesses, their legal advisors, & competition law enforcers in both the Commission & the Member States.
