The Instructions on the Manner of Submitting Merger Notifications were published on July 11 2013. They concer the content and form of merger notifications and their purpose is to elaborate on the provisions of the Ordinance on the Form and Content of Merger Notifications.
Undertakings submitting notifications may find the guidance in these bylaws useful when preparing filings. The guidelines are aligned with Competition Authority practice developed so far.
