This would allow the authority to \u201ccall in\u201d certain transactions that do not meet the traditional thresholds when they may significantly affect competition. The debate seeks to close gaps in the system \u2014 such as the lack of review of mergers in low-turnover sectors or acquisitions that may eliminate competitors \u2014 and to adapt merger control to recent economic developments. The proposal includes, among other elements, lower turnover criteria, an intervention period of up to six months after completion and the possibility of voluntary notifications<\/strong> to provide legal certainty. \ud83d\udcc3 \u2696\ufe0f<\/p>\n
