The leverage for gaining economic growth and stability in the market very frequently involves the uniting of economic efforts and consolidation of economic powers of independent entities. Whenever as a result of that a merger or a change in the control of an independent undertaking occurs and this brings about a lasting change in the structure of the undertakings concerned and therefore in the structure of the market, a concentration (between undertakings) is deemed to have taken place. Should the aggregate amount of the turnovers of the undertakings concerned for the preceding financial year exceeds a certain threshold the transaction shall be subject to the prior notification before the national competition regulator.
