Part IV examines the Commission’s proposal for a regulation on the control of concentrations between undertakings. Part V explains the Commission’s practice in relation to joint ventures (partial mergers), tracing the connection between this phenomenon and the merger problem. Finally, Part VI looks at recent developments that demonstrate the currently unsatisfactory state of this are of the law. MERGERS AND PARTIAL MERGERS UNDER EEC LAWt

متن کاملMolecular Gas in Optically Selected Mergers: Do All Mergers Undergo an Ultraluminous Phase?
We have mapped the 2.6 mm CO J = 1 → 0 emission in three optically selected “Toomre Sequence” mergers (NGC 520, NGC 3921, NGC 4676). We examine these data in order to address if there are any fundamental differences between these optically selected mergers and more luminous IR selected mergers. The molecular gas distributions are well resolved by the observations, and they are as compact as in ...
