The grid below sets out the notification thresholds as according to local legislation for all merger control regimes in the world as well as additional key jurisdictional information to help determine whether merger control filings are required in addition to headline procedural issues on timing and whether notifications are mandatory and closing should be suspended pending clearance. We have tried to strike a balance between ease of reference and exactness to the original source material and used common phrases to summarise legal threshold tests whilst retaining key words; a key is available below to set out the common phrases used to summarise legal threshold tests (eg the meaning of ‘combined turnover’ and the fact that this requirement could be met by one party alone)—see Key and useful information below. We would recommend consulting the merger guides and the underlying law for the precise wording and for further details on the merger control rules in each jurisdiction.

CASE HUB See further, timeline. Case facts Outline European Commission merger investigation into the proposed acquisition of Anglo American’s Brazilian nickel business by MMG Limited (M.11944). The transaction involves vertical overlaps in the relation to the supply of ferronickel. Latest developments On 16 September 2026, the Commission issued its statement of objections.

Parties • MMG Limited (MMG): MMG is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange; the majority of the shares of which are ultimately owned by China Minmetals Corporation, a State owned enterprise under the control of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the Chine State Council.

Marine Management Organisation: Established by Part I, Chapter I of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 to make a contribution for sustainable development in marine areas. The MMO assumed much of the work of the Marine and Fisheries Agency and also acquired new roles previously associated with DECC and the Department for Transport. The MMO is responsible for implementing parts of the marine planning and licensing system, responding to emergencies affecting marine areas, and working closely with Natural England to create and manage a network of marine protected areas. Please note, however, that marine regulation and licensing has been devolved in Scottish inshore and offshore waters to the Scottish Executive (Marine Scotland), in Welsh inshore waters to Welsh ministers (Marine Consents Unite) and in Northern Ireland’s waters to the Northern Ireland Executive (Department for the Environment).
