Consultation description

In March 2016, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) completed its review of 71 old structural merger remedies given by companies prior to 1 January 2005.

Ahead of the CMA’s next reviews, the CMA has identified a further 38 merger remedies that are more than 10 years old.

The CMA considers that there may have been developments since the remedies were put in place which may lead to a realistic prospect of finding a change of circumstances relevant to these remedies.

We are inviting interested parties to comment on which of these remedies should be reviewed and to submit any evidence indicating for which remedies a change of circumstances has occurred.

The decision on which remedies to review is due in summer 2016.
