Competition policy
Article Abstract:
A planned new structure for DG IV, the European Commission's directorate-general for competition, is likely to be made up of seven directorates. These will cover areas including the services sector, state aid, primary industries and general competition policy. These changes are likely to affect the way in which competition measures are determined and decision are reached. The European Commission will probably become more strict in its assessment of mergers in some sectors.

Competition policy
Article Abstract:
The Commission is preparing a green paper outlining its plans to adopt a new structural approach to competition policy. Competition rules will have to adapt to changing economic conditions and there may be a more liberal approach to vertical restraints. The Commission is to prohibit the Nordic Satellite Distribution (NSD) joint venture as it would lead to a concentration of the activities of its three parents.
