After much anticipation, the European Commission has adopted its revised Market Definition Notice, which sets out how it will define markets as the first step for its competitive assessment in merger and antitrust cases. Niklas Maydell, Neil Rigby and Bella Spring discuss the practical impact of the revised Notice, which reflects significant developments in market realities over the intervening years – especially the impact of digitalization and the increasingly interconnected and globalized nature of many commercial dealings.

Your attention please, legal and economic community interested in merger control in Europe! With a good degree of deference to an amazing panel, I’d put on your radar "The webinar” on the new US merger guidelines. The US Federal Trade Commission Director of Bureau of Economics, Professor Aviv Nevo joins us to highlight the rationale of important changes (or lack thereof) in the new US merger guidelines, with a particular focus on the underpinning economic rationale (see a bio on his personal webpage here https://lnkd.in/d8tRCbH2). With Hans Zenger of the Chief Economist Team at the European Commission DG for Competition, Jenine Hulsmann partner of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and Giulio Federico partner of Oxera, collectively bringing a wealth of experience in EU merger control from complementary perspectives, we will focus the debate on the key economic and legal aspects and assess the possible implications for (stricter?) merger control on both sides of the Ocean.
On 8 February, join us to hear Professor Aviv Nevo, Chief Economist at the US Federal Trade Commission, explain the key elements of the new US merger guidelines. We'll also be joined by Hans Zenger, Head of Unit (Chief Economist Team), DG Competition, Jenine Hulsmann, Partner, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, and Oxera Partners Barbara Veronese and Giulio Federico. The webinar will focus on the main changes in the new Guidelines, the similarities and differences between the new US Guidelines and European merger enforcement practice, and the possible lessons and implications for Europe.
