CRA is a proud sponsor of the event.
Raphaël De Coninck is a panelist during the session titled “Merger Control, Politics and Industrial Policy. “Merger control seeks to protect competition, but several leading policymakers worry it impedes growth and investment. With more than 80 countries, representing over half the world’s population, going to the polls in 2024, the panel will explore the impact of politics and industrial policy on merger control policy.
- How have recent merger reviews like Lufthansa/ITA been impacted by politics?
- Is there widespread support for the French and German calls to modernise the EU’s competition rules in view of global competitiveness?
- What impact will the US elections and new EU Commissioner have on merger control policy?
- Do industrial policy and merger control rules go hand-in-hand or is some kind of a compromise needed to balance competition and competitiveness?
