欧盟企业合并政策的演变

企业合并是促进战后欧洲经济迅速复兴的有效力量。为防止企业合并滥用优势地位而损害竞争秩序,欧盟对达到了所谓“欧共体规模”的企业合并进行了欧共体层次上的法律规范。从历史上看,欧盟的企业合并政策的演变基本上可以分为三个阶段:初始阶段、治标阶段和治本阶段。这个过程反映了欧盟合并制度从起源到发展再到成熟的演变进程,同时它也服从于欧洲一体化目标的要求。

The Evolution of Merger Policy and Law in European Union

Corporate merger has played an important role in promoting the rapid development of Europe's economy after World War II. In order to prevent the abuse of the advantage gained from corporate merger that may do harm to normal competition, EU takes legal measures at the EU level to regulate corporate mergers that have reached the so-called EU scope. Historically, the evolution of EUs corporate merger regulations consists of three stages; the beginning stage, the temporary solution stage, and fundamental solution stage. This process reflects the transition of EU corporate merger regulations from the initiation, to development and finally to maturation. Meanwhile, it also meets the need for the integration of Europe.
