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)

该项目延续了此前在欧洲层面对监管机构在并购控制领域的预期进行的分析。到目前为止，可以确定制度化过程，一方面处理监管机构和商业公司之间的信息不对称，另一方面通过比较德国和美国的国家合并控制系统和程序，处理形成各自行为者预期的方法和工具上的差异。继续项目的目的是致力于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，重点放在欧洲1958至2003年间的跨国界合并提案上，这些提案可能涉及根据《罗马条约》(欧洲经济共同体)以及自1990年以来根据《欧洲合并控制条例》(条例/欧洲经济共同体第4064/89号条例，见：OJ)对建立欧洲委员会“共同”或“单一市场”的影响进行评估。1989年12月30日L395号，第1-12页)。其目的尤其是利用已经获得的知识作为参考材料，并调查国有竞争政策和超国家(无国家)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.
