Critical Acclaim
‘This new work is impressive and, unusually, addresses all aspects of EU merger control in a single work, across two volumes and more than 1,500 pages. It does so in both an authoritative and accessible manner, drawing on the team of authors'' breadth and depth of experience and knowledge and illustrated by frequent references to relevant legislation, guidelines, Court case law and Commission decisions. It is, like its predecessor editions, destined to be an invaluable guide and reference for all involved in merger control work, whether before the Commission, national competition authorities or the courts.’
– Matthew O''Regan, Competition Law Journal
