Public consultation on the introduction of a merger control framework for addressing below-threshold mergers

Noting the consequences of the Illumina/Grail judgement of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) of 3 September 2024, the Autorité de la concurrence undertook to identify the existing or necessary tools to ensure that no merger, including those that are not subject to prior notification, would harm competition on the French territory.

As part of this process, the Autorité is opening this public consultation to gather stakeholders’ observations until 16 February 2025.
