Abstract

The aim of this paper is to evaluate whether extraterritorial jurisdiction over mergers can be justified, and to compare and contrast the legal practice in the EU and US. The extension of jurisdiction to foreign companies could benefit the protection of competition, while this could cause legal conflicts and hostility. Some suggestions towards the problems are proposed in this paper.
