In this practitioners' guide, the regulation is placed in context and the substantive and procedural aspects of the new regime are explained in the light of the political history of the proposals for EC merger control. The book discusses the adoption of the regulation, concentrations, Community dimensions, procedural aspects, suspensions, the relationship of the regulation with Articles 85 and 86, and UK public bids. The appendices include the full text of the regulation, together with the UK statutory instruments and other implementing legislations.
