Abstract

US Horizontal Merger Guidelines, which have the potential to significantly affect many competition law regimes across the world, came into force on August 19, 2010. This recent guidelines, which reflect the difficulties met and developments occurred with respect to the implementation of the US concentration regime since 1992, contain significant changes compared to the old guidelines. Considering the new guidelines as a whole, there are clear signals that economic analyses will play a bigger role during merger evaluation. We believe that an evaluation over the new guidelines that contain important changes in terms of merger control will be highly informative on certain issues that the Competition Authority might come across in the future. This study contains evaluations that initially aim to outline in brief the old guidelines and then analyze in detail the legal and economic approaches set forth by the new guidelines. The purpose of this comparison between the old and the new guidelines is to shed a light on whether the new changes will be interpreted as a new era in terms of concentration regime as well as to open to discussion this issue that is important in terms of the Turkish competition law regime.

Özet

Dünya çapındaki birçok rekabet hukuku rejimini ciddi sekilde etkileme potansiyeline sahip ABD Yatay Birlesmeler Rehberi, 19 Ağustos 2010 tarihi itibariyle ABD’de yürürlüğe girmistir. 1992 yılından günümüze kadar olan ABD yoğunlasma rejimi uygulamasında karsılasılan zorluklar ve yenilikleri yansıtan bu yeni rehber, eski rehbere oranla birçok alanda ciddi değisikliklere gitmektedir. Yeni rehberin tamamına bakıldığında, iktisadi analizin yoğunlasma değerlendirmelerinde daha da önemli bir rol oynayacağına yönelik olarak açık sinyaller gözlemlenmektedir. Yoğunlasma kontrolü bakımından bazı ciddi yenilikler getiren söz konusu rehberin incelenmesinin, Rekabet Kurumu’nun gelecekte karsılasabileceği birtakım hususlar bakımından aydınlatıcı nitelikte olduğu düsünülmektedir. Kaleme alınan bu çalısma, önce eski rehberin özet bir fotoğrafını çekmeye, daha sonra da yeni rehber ile getirilen hukuki ve iktisadi yaklasımları masaya yatırmaya yönelik değerlendirmeler içermektedir. Eski rehber ile yeni rehber arasındaki bu karsılastırmanın amacı, getirilen yeni değisikliklerin yoğunlasma rejimi açısından yeni bir dönemin baslangıcı olup olmayacağı hususuna ısık tutmak ve Türk rekabet hukuku rejimi bakımından da önem tasıyabilecek olan bu hususu tartısmaya açmaktır.
