• Resumen

  • The recently enacted Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2014, which significantly reforms the law on media mergers in Ireland, provides that the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources may publish certain guidelines on the operation of the Act. In particular, section 74 (inserting a new section 28L) tasks the minister with defining some important terms contained in the 2014 Act. The minister has now published a draft version of these guidelines, a 27-page document entitled “Guidelines on Media Mergers”, for public consultation.
