Horizontal merger laws in the U.S. and the E.E.C. : a comparison

Whereas EEC merger law has always been influenced by a tradition of hospitality to industrial concentrations combined with receptivity to government regulations, US merger law evolved originally from a tradition of inhospitality to concentrations and a strong preference for competition over government regulation of performance to a sensitive approach to consumer's interests and a more tolerant stance towards mergers. Therefore, although influenced by different history and focus both sets of merger law have certain common features and objectives and seem to head towards a better coordination of their respective antitrust authorities and a lessening of U.S./E.E.C. jurisdictional conflicts over merger enforcement.
