Use when assessing a concentration (merger, acquisition, or joint venture) under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (EU Merger Regulation — EUMR). Covers: EU jurisdictional thresholds (Arts. 1–2 EUMR), the SIEC test (significant impediment to effective competition), horizontal and non-horizontal merger analysis, market definition for concentrations, Phase I (25 working days) and Phase II (90 working days) procedure, simplified procedure eligibility, pre-notification contacts, Article 6(1)(c) and Article 8 decisions, remedies design (structural vs. behavioural), and the referral system between the Commission and national competition authorities (Arts. 4(4), 4(5), 9, 22 EUMR). Distinct from lawyer-competition-antitrust and market-definer — those handle Art. 101/102 analysis; this skill handles merger control exclusively.
