Abstract

This paper analyses the merger control instruments available to overcome a crisis of a company and highlights their role in the 2008/09 global financial market crisis. It concludes that the German merger control regime is well equipped to overcome any (further) banking crisis as long as the market structure in the German banking sector virtually excludes the emergence of serious conflicts of objectives between the protection of competition on the one hand and the stabilisation of the financial system on the other hand.
