The Dutch competition regulator, ACM, has expressed a need for enhanced powers to investigate mergers and acquisitions. This statement follows the European Union's decision not to pursue an antitrust investigation into Microsoft's acquisition of AI startup Inflection. ACM's chairman, Martijn Snoep, emphasized the necessity of assessing potential negative impacts on consumers and businesses in the Netherlands.
ACM highlighted the current limitations in its ability to evaluate the effects of such acquisitions on market power.
