How can the EC tackle the problem of concentration?
Market Concentration has been identified as a major problem and this makes the Community’s action under the merger regulation essential. While each merger case is assessed according to its specific characteristics, the Inquiry helps to identify the most relevant criteria and the most efficient remedies in the given market environment. In order to avoid inconsistencies between Member States for merger cases scrutinised at national level, the rules of the EU Merger Regulation may have to be reviewed and amended.
