European Competition and Regulatory Law Review, Jahrgang 5 (2021), Ausgabe 2, Seite 112 - 121

Large digital technology companies are suspected of engaging in a ‘killer acquisitions’ strategy whereby they acquire promising start-ups to eliminate potential future rivals or to integrate them into their own offerings, thereby cementing their dominance. Many of these transactions escape the scrutiny of competition authorities as they do not meet the notification thresholds. This has generated a growing sense of urgency about the need to amend the European Commission’s merger ‘toolbox’. However, an increasing reliance on non-traditional theories of harm may prevent consideration of the transaction’s substantial benefits for innovation and competition. This short contribution takes a critical look at current merger control and discusses the possibility of a more open approach to reviewing acquisitions in the digital space. Keywords: mergers, European Union, reform, online platforms, competition policy
