What to keep in mind

Review pricing, market positions, information flows, industry contacts and intra-group structure for competition risks.

Fragmented review may miss conduct managed centrally across subsidiaries.

Distinctions often confused

Group corporate control and competitive conduct must be evaluated under the applicable rules.
