Competition merger brief : Issue 3, October 2024

This year the 2004 EU Merger Regulation turns 20 years old. To mark this significant milestone DG COMP organised a conference, bringing together experts from across the competition field. Building on such momentum the conference was designed to take stock, reflect on what the 2004 reform has meant as well as look forward to what the future may entail. This brief seeks to capture and summarise some of the many highlights and interesting discussions of the day (in words and pictures).
