En 2019, l'Autorité de la concurrence (ci-après l'« Autorité ») s'est notamment concentrée sur les enjeux numériques, le secteur de la distribution et la concurrence en Outre-Mer. Dans son communiqué de presse du 9 janvier 20201, par lequel elle a annoncé ses « priorités pour l'année 2020 », elle a indiqué que ces sujets resteraient au premier plan pour l'année 2020 et que d'autres seraient également dans son agenda.

Le numérique

Le numérique restera au centre des réflexions et actions que veut mener l'Autorité en 2020.

Elle souhaite évaluer au mieux les « mutations économiques engendrées par la révolution numérique (dans le secteur de la distribution notamment) », tenir compte des évolutions de l'économie telles que l'impact de la révolution numérique dans le secteur financier (services financiers dématérialisés, fintechs, blockchain, etc.) et « être mesure de prévenir et sanctionner de nouvelles formes d'ententes ou d'abus de position dominante ».

The European Commission has cleared the Airbus/Air France joint venture in a landmark decision that marks the first time efficiency claims were assessed during Phase I merger review. While the transaction was ultimately approved without relying on these efficiencies due to lack of competitive concerns, the Commission's willingness to examine cost synergies, logistics benefits, and consumer advantages signals a potentially more receptive approach to efficiency arguments in future merger cases.
