15.15 Panel 4: Globalization, Industrial Champions and 21st Century Protectionism?
Is strict European competition policy limiting European firms from the scale necessary to compete on global markets with US and Chinese firms? Should the law require the definition of global markets in merger reviews so as to account for foreign competition? Should “industrial policy” standards be introduced in merger law? Should foreign State Owned Enterprises be limited in their ability to enter Western markets by way of strategic mergers with domestic firms?
