Report on Ex Post Merger Evaluation

The Report compiles recent experience of agencies that have conducted ex post merger evaluations, providing the ICN community with a list to the evaluations and facilitating its access and search. For the purposes of this Report, an ex-post merger evaluation consists of an analysis carried out by the NCA after issuing its decision on a merger, in order to evaluate the impact and/or effectiveness of the decision on the affected markets. The survey identifies three different types of ex post merger evaluations: (i) Ex-post evaluation of the mergers analyzed by the authority within a specific period or time; (ii) Ex-post evaluation on a specific sector; and/or (iii) Ex-post evaluation assessing the results of a particular merger.
