The article reviews and assesses the institutional (legal) and economic framework for merger control and competition policy in Slovenia. We investigate the functioning of the Slovenian Competition Protection Office. We also discuss possible reasons for the small number of denied mergers, with accession to the EU and the openness of the economy being the most important. Further, we use three case studies to illustrate that the unfinished transition process allows a possibility for political interference in merging activities.

Mandatory Notification

The purpose of ex ante merger control is to secure and preserve the competitive market structures by controlling concentrations which might significantly impede effective competition. All concentrations exceeding a certain turnover threshold are subject to mandatory notification under national merger control rules and such transactions shall not be implemented prior to clearance decision. In assessing a concentration, the relevant competition authority must consider the likely effects of the concentration on competition, and if the concentration is expected to be anti-competitive, it must be prohibited. The aim of this article is to explain the difficulties to properly determine the institutional framework in which the competition authority approves or prohibits concentrations. Therefore, the author analyses some of the main principles on which merger control should be based and points out that merger control rules play very important role in achieving effective enforcement of optimal competition policy.
