The Commission launched a public consultation on the functioning of the rules for merger control evaluating how the rules on jurisdictional thresholds and referral mechanisms have worked in practice during the last four years.

 

The Commission's own experience indicates that the jurisdictional thresholds and the referral mechanisms have worked well overall. Since May 2004, around 160 referrals to the Commission and around 40 referrals to the Member States have been made at the request of notifying parties. The Commission will prepare a report to the EU Council of Ministers by July 2009.
