J. Sroczyński attending The Global Merger Control Conference in Paris on June 26 2026

When assessing mergers, should antitrust authorities apply only the “substantial restriction of competition” test?

What significance do factors such as geopolitical or environmental circumstances have?

Should authorities have the right to review mergers even below the applicable turnover thresholds?

Will the new EU guidelines on merger control be groundbreaking, or do they merely codify current practice?

The Global Merger Control Conference in Paris on June 26, 2026, provided an opportunity to exchange views on key issues related to merger control in the EU and its member states. The conference was organized by Concurrences, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, and RBB|Economics.
