Abstract:
The paper will attempt to describe and critically analyse efficiencies’ regulation in horizontal merger control at both the EC and US, emphasizing the differences between both systems when necessary. After doing so, I will endeavour to contribute to the academic discussion by suggesting improvements to the current regulation on efficiencies in horizontal mergers, in the EC as well as in the US.
