Eu Phase Ii Merger Investigation Defense Counsel for Cross-Border Deals
The two timetables are structurally different, which is what drives the sequencing. HSR runs a 30-day initial waiting period, and a Second Request stays the deal until substantial compliance plus a further 30 days — a clock the parties largely control by how fast they produce. EU review runs 25 working days in Phase I and 90 working days in Phase II, extendable to 105 where remedies are offered and by a further 20, and those periods run regardless of how quickly the parties respond. Remedy timing follows from that. In the EU, commitments offered within the first 65 working days of Phase II trigger the extension to 105; offered later, they generally cannot be considered. US remedies are negotiated as a consent decree without a comparable cut-off, so an EU-driven remedy package often sets the terms the US agencies then review. One conflict is worth flagging specifically. Gun-jumping rules differ: Article 7 of the EU Merger Regulation prohibits implementation before clearance, with fines up to 10% of worldwide turnover, while the US restriction runs through the waiting period and Section 1 of the Sherman Act. Interim operating covenants drafted to satisfy a US timetable can breach Article 7 if they give the buyer influence before EU clearance.
