Order No. 2192 of the Competition Council President of 17 September 2026 implementing the Merger Control Regulation (the “New Regulation”) was published in the Official Gazette No. 834 of 1 October 2026. The New Regulation replaces in its entirety the 2017 Merger control Regulation. The notification thresholds remain unchanged. However, the New Regulation introduces significant changes regarding the coordination of the merger clearance procedure with the national security investment screening process conducted by the Commission for the Examination of Foreign Direct Investments (“CEISD”), and it expands the Competition Council’s powers to gather information.
