SYNTHESIS
The moderator, Professor Daniel Rubinfeld (NYU), introduced the panelists and opened the discussion by asking the panelists to speak about the impact of Covid-19 on the merger policy in their respective countries.
Gönenç Gürkaynak (ELIG Gürkaynak Attorneys-at-Law) said that despite the pandemic, the Turkish Competition Authority has continued processing merger applications under its regular timelines. Though it has become a bit difficult to reach case handlers at the Competition Authority by phone due to remote working, the authority has not extended review more than 60 days past the original date of filing even in the worst-case scenario.
