Abstract

With the increased risks of international trade frictions and geopolitical disruptions merger control that does not account for such risks may be too lenient. This article provides a proposal on how competition authorities should systematically assess mergers based on a risk assessment and how they should adjust their market share and UPP analysis. The authors also argue that the approach fits well into recent developments of merger analyses in the European Union.
