Report: Lidia Joanna Geringer de Oedenberg (A6-0236/2008) - Mergers of public limited liability companies (codified version) on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning mergers of public limited liability companies (codified version) [COM(2008)0026 - C6-0045/2008 - 2008/0009(COD)] Committee on Legal Affairs Rule 80

A further suggestion, to improve the standard and consistency of decision-making, is to set up a database as part of the ECN cooperation arrangements to provide a centralised record of M A cases examined in order to assist comparative impact assessment of the commitments proposed when merger plans were dealt with.

- the oral question (O-0069/2006 B6-0317/2006) by Mrs Berès, on behalf of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, on mergers and acquisitions developments around Europe’s stock exchanges.

Furthermore, the classification of legal and financial documents and instruments, with the introduction for the first time of a proper hierarchy of norms; the creation of the office of European Minister for Foreign Affairs – possibly the most innovative institutional figure to have emerged from the Convention’s work, following the merging of the duties performed thus far by the High Representative and the Commissioner for External Relations. Of equal importance is the potential future merging of the posts of Mr President-in-Office of ...[+++] the Council and Commission President.

As the sole arbiter of proposed mergers and concentrations between companies which have an aggregate worldwide turnover in excess of ECU 5 billion and individual turnover of ECU 250 million in Europe, of at least two of the companies concerned, the European Commission invites governments and companies, before 31 March 1996, to a wide ranging debate centred, essentially, on the three following themes: - a reduction in the thresholds which give exclusive control to the Commission being ECU 2 billion for worldwide sales (in place of ECU 5 billion) and ECU 100 million (instead of ECU 250 million).; - should such a reduction not be achieved, ...[+++] exclusive control for the Commission for those mergers which fall between "the old and the new thresholds" and which have to be notified to several national competition authorities; this approach would save both time and money; - a series of options giving answer to the criticisms formulated, not only by the business world, but equally by certain Member States, as regards cooperative joint venture operations which do not fall under the rules of the Merger Regulation but under the "general" rules regarding competition policy (in particular Article 85 of the Treaty).

In the interests of greater efficiency and speed, the Commission would also like to act as a "one-stop shop" for notification of mergers and concentrations involving turnover equal to or exceeding ECU 2 billion worldwide or ECU 100 million in Europe, instead of the present system whereby three separate national authorities normally have to be notified (See IP 97 of 31 January.) An increasing number of firms operating in Europe regard the new opportunities offered by the single market and the European Economic Area as their cue to embark on mergers and concentrations, which the Commission must monitor in order to ensure compliance with th ...[+++]e EU's competition rules.
