As part of our dissemination work, we could look at transactions that can increase the market power of the largest players; transactions that will support it.
Our merger work is the first line of defence to stop that market power from growing. That is one area of our work where we look at what the impact is of a potential transaction on concentration levels. Is it going to negatively impact suppliers or customers?
Our focus, again, is on that competitive process, because we want to make sure that competing suppliers or competing purchasers have the benefit of competition at whichever end of the negotiations they happen to be on.
