Mergers

Everyone thinks that mergers between Companies, concern only them, their administrators and their owners.

In real life, a merger concerns all of us.

Whereas the result of any merger between Companies, that produce and trade poducts and services, is to increase their size,
there is a danger of creating Oligopoly and Monopoly conditions and practices in their activity sector.

The Anti-Monopoly Laws, set terms for the approval of the mergers.

The basic principle, that must concern the society , for any approval of a merger between companies,
is the protection of the interests of the consumer by transfering a significant part of the created economic benefit to him.

As economic benefit is clearly regarded, the expected decrease of the costs of production of goods and services, as result of the merger,
that must pass to the consumer.

Also, a basic principle, for such an approval, must be the protection of the society from creating Oligopoly or Monopoly conditions.

For the above reasons,

IF you hear that a merger is to be approved or has been approved :

• Evaluate if the benefit has been passed on to you as a consumer and tax payer.

1.Did the products of the new business become less expensive?

2.Did the choice of goods or services by you, as consumer, increase?

3.What is the benefit of the particular merger for you?

If you cannot come up with a persuasive answer to the above questions,
