Office of Regulation Review Information Paper

The Office of Regulation Review information paper, Merger Regulation: A review of the draft merger guidelines administered by the ACCC (June 1996), was released in June 1996. It reviews the Draft Merger Guidelines which were issued for comment in November 1992 by the then Trade Practices Commission (TPC), now the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). It draws on the available evidence on market structures, competition and contestability, both internationally and within Australia, including experience gained by the Industry Commission from public inquiries.
