The EU’s merger guidelines are currently under revision. We have already contributed to the public consultation. On 19 November 2025, we initiated a cross-party exchange in the European Parliament on the ongoing revision of these guidelines and joined forces with other civil society partners. Here is a short recap on what happened.

Expert event in Brussels: Tightening the EU’s Merger Guidelines - Rebalance Now

The EU is revising its merger guidelines. In the European Parliament, we argue for stronger rules to curb rising market concentration.

Rebalance Now

The FTC & DOJ’s new #MergerGuidelines “justify the agencies’ new enforcement policies by citing older case law, mostly from cases decided more than 50 years ago and antitrust rulings that were inconsistent from one case to the next.”

The 2023 Merger Guidelines were released on December 18, 2023, by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), the two federal agencies that enforce the US antitrust laws. These guidelines replace all prior versions of the agencies’ various merger guidelines.

@georgemasonlaw Professor Tim Muris commented that the govt’s decision to return concentration thresholds to those in the 1992 #MergerGuidelines “is a gigantic move” and predicted that “the goal of deterring mergers will be successful” during @ITIFdc’s live panel discussion.
