The mission of the ICN Merger Working Group is to promote the adoption of best practices in the design and operation of merger review regimes in order to: (i) enhance the effectiveness of each jurisdiction's merger review mechanisms; (ii) facilitate procedural and substantive convergence; and (iii) reduce the public and private time and cost of multijurisdictional merger reviews.
The Working Group consists of two subgroups:
Subgroup 1: Notification and Procedures
Subgroup 2: Merger Investigation and Analysis Subgroup
