We share an article published by the Antitrust Alliance (ATA) on recent merger control decisions in Denmark concerning breaches of the notification and standstill obligations (gun-jumping), as well as the provision of incorrect, incomplete or misleading information during the merger notification process. The cases analysed, involving Brdr. Ewers, Mærsk and REMA 1000, highlight the importance of properly assessing the applicable notification thresholds at an early stage of any transaction, complying with the standstill obligation until the relevant clearance has been obtained, and ensuring that the information provided to the competition authorities remains complete and accurate throughout the entire process. These recent decisions also confirm that compliance with merger control rules remains an enforcement priority for the Danish authorities and that breaches may result in significant financial penalties, even where the underlying transaction raises no substantive competition concerns.
