Abstract

[fre] Le présent article examine d'abord les principales stratégies adoptées par les grandes entreprises dans la perspective de l'après 1992 : des stratégies de restructuration interne mais aussi, sur le plan externe, des fusions, acquisitions et accords de coopération.. La seconde section porte alors sur la politique européenne de concurrence. Concernant les accords, l'approche est très pragmatique et favorise notamment la coopération en R&D, y compris au niveau de l'exploitation en commun des résultats. Pour ce qui est des fusions, la politique adoptée est plus stricte, en ce sens qu'elle ne permet pas de justifier la création d'une position dominante parce qu'elle contribuerait à améliorer le progrès technique ou économique. [eng] This paper first examines some of the main strategic responses which Community firms have provided, anticipating the post-1992 single market. Internally, corporate strategies tend to concentrate on main product lines. Externally, cooperative agreements, mergers and acquisitions play a growing role in the process of European restructuring as a response to increased competition.. The second section analyses the options adopted by the European competition policy to monitor such strategies. Concerning cartels, the European authorities follow a pragmatic approach. Among other things they consider that cooperation in R&D is often useful and cannot be limited to the sole level of pure R&D. For mergers and acquisitions, the regulation is stricter : it is not possible to justify the creation of a dominant position because there are some other public benefits to be gained.
