European Commission 9 July 2014, WHITE PAPER Towards more effective EU merger control (Text with EEA relevance)

Also known as

The White Paper outlines proposals to enhance the effectiveness of EU merger control, focusing on the inclusion of non-controlling minority shareholdings within its jurisdiction and improving cooperation between the European Commission and national competition authorities (NCAs). Key provisions include the introduction of a "targeted" transparency system for minority shareholdings and streamlined case referral processes. The application and enforcement of these measures aim to address competition concerns more comprehensively and ensure consistent enforcement across the EU.AI
