Evaluating the Economic Focus Between the Existing and the Desired: A Study in Mauritanian Law

Abstract

The evaluation process for economic concentration projects or operations fluctuates between the risks posed to the competitive structure in the market and the economic, technological, and social benefits that will compensate for the disruption to the competitive game. It is a process that requires precise and specific standards and an independent and impartial entity responsible for the evaluation, separate from the decision-making body, to ensure effective governance. Evaluation of economic concentration occurs after confirming  that the necessary conditions for concentration are met, leading to a decision regarding its approval. Without these conditions being fully  met, discussing the existence of economic concentration is not feasible.
