Amendment to classes of Media Merger subject to mandatory notification under Irish merger control rules
29.06.2007
On 1st May, 2007, a new Ministerial Order came into force which amends the mandatory notification regime for “media mergers”. The objective of the Order is to reduce the scope of media mergers that are mandatorily notifiable under Irish merger control rules. Pursuant to a previous Minister Order that entered into force on 1st January, 2003, all mergers in which one or more undertakings involved carried on a media business in the State were mandatorily notifiable.
