  • Global-GMG Merger Inquiry: Appendices and Glossary
    APPENDIX A Terms of reference and conduct of the inquiry 1. On 11 October 2012, the OFT sent the following reference to the CC: 1. In exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Enterprise Act (‘the Act’) to make a reference to the Competition Commission (‘the CC’) in relation to a completed merger, the Office of Fair Trading (‘the OFT’) believes that it is or may be the case that: (a) a relevant merger situation has been created in that: (i) enterprises carried on by or under the control of Global Radio Holdings Limited have ceased to be distinct from enterprises previously carried on by or under the control of GMG Radio Holdings Limited; and (ii) as a result, the conditions specified in section 23(4) of the Act will prevail, or will prevail to a greater extent, with respect to the supply of commercial radio based on listening hours in the UK and the supply of radio advertising services in London, the West Midlands, the East Midlands, the North West, Yorkshire, the North East, Central Scotland, South Wales and North Wales; and (b) the creation of that situation has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods or services, including the supply of non-contracted radio advertising services in North Wales, the East Midlands, South Yorkshire and Cardiff. 2. Therefore, in exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Act, the OFT hereby refers to the CC, for investigation and report within a period ending on 27 March 2013, on the following questions in accordance with section 35(1) of the Act: (a) whether a relevant merger situation has been created; and (b) if so, whether the creation of that situation has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods and services.
