Overview

In July 2011, the Slovak Competition Authority launched a public consultation concerning changes in the Slovak merger control regime. The law amending the merger regime was adopted on 19 October 2011 and will be in force as of 1 January 2012. The new merger control regulation, in line with the EU Merger Regulation 139/2004, abandoned the dominance test as the substantive test for a merger clearance and adopted the substantive impediment of effective competition test.

This briefing from CEE specialists Schoenherr summarise the new regime's major changes and how the regulations will be implemented.
