Merger Remedies in American and European Union Competition Law

由弗朗索瓦•桑德琳编辑表示or of Law and Economics, École des mines de Paris, France and Howard Shelanski, Georgetown Law, US

This impressive volume presents a detailed comparative analysis of merger remedies in the EU and US, motivated by the fact that a growing number of mergers are being scrutinised and reviewed under both jurisdictions. Merger remedies on either side of the Atlantic play an increasingly important role in the implementation of public policy with regard to the economic concentration of industry. The book provides an understanding of merger remedies in general, and of procedural and substantive differences in the approach of the EU and the US. The editors have gathered together leading European and American practitioners and scholars to comprehensively discuss this issue. They aim to help policymakers decide if, and how, current practices can be improved, and to help firms and their counsel better prepare cases and predict outcomes.

‘The editors aimed to launch the relevant research agenda and develop questions, ideas and information for future research. This goal should be most welcome and has been fully achieved.’
– Alexandre de Streel, European Competition Law Review
