Abstract
[fre] La tendance lourde vers la dérégulation et la globalisation croissante des marchés a constitué une puissante incitation à la conclusion d’opérations de fusions/ acquisitions transfrontalières. Ainsi, le volume global des fusions-acquisitions transfrontalières en Europe s’est accru régulièrement au cours des cinq dernières années pour atteindre le chiffre record de 68,7 milliards d’écus en 1997. Ce mouvement s’est poursuivi en 1998 puisque, à l’échelle de la planète, les fusions internationales ont été supérieures de moitié, pour les six premiers mois de 1998, aux opérations de l’ensemble de 1997 et devraient encore doubler au second semestre. Cet article présente sur la base des données de marché recueillies par Translink un large panorama des principales opérations de fusions-acquisitions intervenues ces cinq dernières années ainsi que les grandes tendances du marché dans l’Union européenne. L’analyse proposée est menée par pays et par secteur. Certaines opérations particulièrement marquantes du fait de leur ampleur ou de leur originalité sont citées à titre d’illustration.

The toward deregulation and increasing globalisation of the markets constitutes a powerful incitement to the conclusion of M&A in Europe. The global volume of trans-frontiers M&A in Europe regularly increased during the five past years and reached 68.7 billions of ecus in 1997. This movement is still observed in 1998. The International M&A during the first semester of 1998 represent 150 percent of the operation concluded in 1997 and a new increase of 100 % is forecasted for the second semester of 1998. This paper present, based on market data collected by Translink, a very large panorama of the principal M&A operations concluded during the last five years and the actual characteristics of this market in the Europe community. The analysis provided by this paper is conducted by main countries and industries. As illustrations, we indicate some remarkable, by their size or by their originality, operations.
