The Appraisal of Mergers in High Technology Markets Under the EU Merger Control Regulation: From Microsoft/Skype to Facebook/WhatsApp– Michele Giannino

Dominant positions in these markets may be challenged by innovators provided that entry barriers are not high. This paper examines the approach taken by the Commission in assessing under the EU Merger Control Regulation (EUMR) the competition impact of mergers in high technology markets in the recent Microsoft/Skype, and Facebook/WhatsApp merger cases.
