ICN 2024 MERGER WORKSHOP
13-15 November 2024
TAIPEI, TAIWAN
The International Competition Network (ICN) Merger Workshop was held by the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission at the Regent Hotel in Taipei, Taiwan, from 13 to 15 November 2024.
The two-and-a-half-day workshop offered opportunities for national competition authorities (NCAs) and non-governmental advisors (NGAs) to discuss and exchange experiences on highly topical merger issues, including potential/dynamic competition, innovation theories of harm in both horizontal and non-horizontal mergers as well as other non-price parameters of competition. Given the increasingly dynamic nature of competition enforcement in digital and other sectors, these topics are more pertinent than ever.
Participants had the opportunity to discuss in an interactive setting various hypothetical cases (e.g. theories of harm, remedies, investigative tools), to elaborate on draft Merger Working Group products and discuss, among other topics, procedural aspects of merger investigations.
