Competition as the subject of forecasts. Forming expectations of the European Commission as a supranational regulatory authority for merger control in transnational markets (1958-2003)

该项目延续了先前对欧洲一级监管当局在兼并控制领域的期望的分析。到目前为止，通过比较德国和美国的国家合并管制制度和程序，可以确定制度化进程，一方面处理管理当局和商业公司之间的信息不对称，另一方面处理形成各自行为者期望的方法和手段的差异。继续项目的目的是致力于研究超国家一级的监管行为者如何形成对跨国市场竞争的发展和评估的期望。因此，重点是1958年至2003年期间欧洲的跨界合并提案，可能涉及评估对建立欧洲联盟委员会的“共同”或“单一市场”的影响，这一“共同”或“单一市场”是以《罗马条约》（欧洲经济共同体，欧共体）为基础的，自1990年以来，是根据《欧洲合并管制条例》（条例/欧共体第4064/89号，载于：OJ。L395 of 30.12.1989，p. 1-12）。其目的尤其是利用已经获得的知识作为参考材料，并调查国有和超国家（无国家地位）竞争政策之间的市场评估和预期的趋同或差异。

The project continues the previous analysis of the expectations of regulatory authorities in the field of merger control at European level. Until now, institutionalisation processes could be identified to deal with information asymmetries between regulatory authorities and business companies on the one hand, but also differences in methods and instruments for forming expectations of the respective actors by comparing state merger control systems and procedures in Germany and the USA on the other. The aim of the continuation project is to dedicate itself to how regulatory players on a supranational level forms expectations with regard to the development and evaluation of competition in transnational markets. As such, the focus is on cross-border merger proposals in Europe between 1958 and 2003 likely to involve an assessment of impacts for building the “Common” or “Single Market” of the European Commission based on the Treaty of Rome (European Economic Community, EEC) and, since 1990, under the European Regulation of Merger Control (Regulation/EEC No. 4064/89, in: OJ. L395 of 30.12.1989, p. 1-12). The aim in particular is to use knowledge already gained as reference material and investigate convergences or, as may apply, divergences of market assessments and expectations in competition between state owned and supranational (without statehood) competition policies.
