Previously published on February 2012

On 1st February 2012, the European Commission adopted its decision prohibiting the USD 10.2 billion merger between Deutsche Börse (DB) and NYSE Euronext (NYSE). The decision is notable not the least because it is rare for the Commission to block a merger. Only 21 have been blocked compared to the 4,857 transactions that have been notified under the EU’s merger control regime since its inception in 1990.
