EU court upholds block of Booking's Etraveli deal
Original: Booking/Etraveli: EU General Court Upholds Commission’s new Template for Digital Merger Control
The EU General Court has backed the European Commission's decision to block Booking's acquisition of Swedish flight-booking group Etraveli, endorsing the Commission's approach to reviewing mergers involving digital platforms. The ruling confirms the regulator's new template for assessing digital markets competition concerns, and is being read as a signal of tougher scrutiny ahead for big tech acquisitions in Europe.
Why now: The ruling sets a precedent for how EU regulators assess large digital platform mergers.
