Abstract

More and more National Competition Agencies (NCAs) around the world are incorporating merger review into their competition law arsenal. Furthermore, globalization has increased the amount of mergers with an international dimension. These two trends suggest that the potential for NCAs to come into conflict regarding whether to approve an international merger will only increase. As a result, this article suggests that merger remedies should be used by NCAs in order to resolve such conflicts. The article begins by addressing why NCAs may reach conflicting decisions in their review of international mergers. The article then addresses in which situations merger remedies can be used to address conflicts in international merger reviews and the costs and benefits involved.
