Merger control in Sweden, April 2012

Despite several attempts by the Swedish Competition Authority, Swedish courts have not yet prohibited any mergers, although a number of concentrations have been subject to commitments. The number of notified concentrations has decreased in Sweden following the new thresholds which were introduced in 2008 but there were some 2011 f ilings that called for special attention regarding cable TV, dairy products and directory enquiries. We provide here information about the thresholds, statistics regarding notifications, and commitments and comment upon a few of the much discussed decisions from 2011.
