Il controllo delle concentrazioni è, insieme alla repressione delle intese restrittive della concorrenza e degli abusi di posizione dominante, parte essenziale di tutte le discipline antitrust vigenti nel modo industrializzato. La disciplina italiana, contenuta nella l. n. 287/90, è largamente ispirata a quella europea, introdotta con il Reg. n. 4064/89, anche se tra i due sistemi sussistevano alcune differenze, per lo più limitate ad aspetti procedimentali. Con il Reg. 139/04 la disciplina europea ha però subito modifiche anche di rilievo sostanziale, alle quali il legislatore italiano non ha ritenuto, fino ad oggi, di doversi conformare.

Abstract
Merger control is, along with the repression of anti-competitive agreements and abuses of dominant position, an essential part of Antitrust Law. The Italian discipline, provided by the Law No. 287/90, was widely inspired by the European one, which was introduced by Regulation No. 4064/89. Nonetheless, between the two systems there were some differences, mainly related to procedural aspects. With Regulation No. 139/04 the European merger control has been substantially modified, and the difference with the Italian legislation has increased.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
