DG Competition's manual of procedures for the application of the EU Merger Regulation

The public Merger Manual of Procedures is based on DG Competition's internal Merger Manual of Procedures. It was originally published in November 2024 and is intended to provide transparency on the Commission’s procedures for applying the EU Merger Regulation. DG Competition will be updating and re-publishing the Manual in the form of self-standing modules on a regular basis. This will ensure that the public Manual reflects important developments and changes in the Commission’s procedures.
