摘要

First, Facebook/WhatsApp further endorses the regulatory approach followed by the European Commission for the appraisal of mergers in dynamic innovation-driven markets. The framework for the assessment of such transactions rests on the idea, among other things, that markets shares are of limited relevance to establish whether a merger may significantly impede competition in markets where innovation takes place at a fast pace and market shares are then unstable, such as the markets for consumer communication and social network services. Mergers between firms operating in such markets are unlikely to create competition problems and, accordingly, should be approved by the European Commission. Firms planning to acquire competitors in technology markets having competition conditions similar to those depicted above may then submit the short cycle of innovation and volatility of market shares as factors mitigating the possible negative effects on competition expected from the merger. Second, Facebook/WhatsApp is consistent with the prevailing position under EU competition law, according to which there is no room for privacy risks in the context of merger control unless such risks threaten competition. Third and finally, the Facebook/WhatsApp decision appears to have framed the potential competition harms arising from Big Data mergers as market foreclosure. In other words, the question to be addressed is whether the concentration of a substantial amount of data in the hands of the merged entity may lessen competition by impeding or frustrating the access of competitors to the data they need to supply their customers.
