In our first Podcast on the work of the Treasury Taskforce, Stephanie Panayi and Andrew North delved into the merger reform proposals that were under consideration by the Treasury Taskforce preceding today’s Government announcement.
Leveraging Andrew's extensive knowledge of the UK and EU merger regimes, we dissect several key aspects of the Treasury’s consultation including:
🔹 why the ACCC considers there is a case for merger reform 🔹 the reform models on the table and how the merger test may change 🔹 what the notification thresholds might look like 🔹 how ancillary agreements might be managed 🔹 the interaction between FIRB and the ACCC 🔹 when we should expect to see change.
Stay tuned for more insights and updates on the merger reform proposals and other considerations of the Treasury Taskforce.
