SUMMARY:Merger Control – time for a policy rethink?
DESCRIPTION:Economic analysis has been a bedrock of merger control for ye
 ars and has undoubtedly improved the predictive powers of agencies condu
 cting merger review\, the following questions will\nbe discussed:\n• Are
  we now seeing gaps?\n• Is it credible to argue that common ownership by
  large investors of minority holdings in rival companies will affect man
 agement decisions?\n• Should the acquisition by large digital businesses
  of tech startups be banned because they block innovation?\nOur panel wi
 ll discuss these topics and tackle the question of whether the European 
 Union merger rules hamper the emergence of European champions fit to com
 pete at the highest level on the global stage in the wake of the Europea
 n Commission’s veto of the proposed merger of the rail businesses of Sie
 mens and Alstom.
