We share an article published by the Antitrust Alliance (ATA) on the first application of Denmark’s new call-in rules in the field of merger control, in connection with Uber’s acquisition of Dantaxi, Denmark’s largest taxi company. Although the transaction did not meet the standard notification thresholds, the Danish Competition and Consumer Authority decided to review it due to potential competition concerns in the Copenhagen taxi market. Following almost a year of assessment, the transaction was ultimately approved subject to significant commitments. The case highlights the growing importance of assessing call-in risk at an early stage of a transaction, particularly in concentrated markets and where a transaction may significantly strengthen one party’s market position.
