Despite the challenging times endured by the global financial Andrus Alber Chairman of the NASDAQ OMX Tallinn Management Board system, the NASDAQ OMX Baltic exchanges continue to improve the quality of their offering in the region. In 2009, all three exchanges have formally taken on the NASDAQ OMX title, reflecting the attainment of the high standards that investors around the world have come to expect from the Group. Longer trading hours – allowing better access for international investors – and the introduction of INET, a new, sleeker trading platform, are also designed to accelerate this process, removing many of the differences between local and global practices. The establishment of the Baltic’s first independent institutional equity research company, Emerging Nordic Research, in part- nership with NASDAQ OMX Baltic, will bring a new approach to equity research in the region. While there have been suffi- Daiga Auziņa-Melalksne Chairman of the NASDAQ OMX Riga Management Board cient levels of research available for retail investors, this has not been the case for institutional investors. This also gives institu- tional investors better visibility to better differentiate between their research and execution costs – leading to more efficient markets. Continued efforts to bring investors more real-time information and our commitment to provide improved education services aim to raise standards across the board, improving local equity culture as well as welcoming investors from around the globe. In the second half year of 2009, the Baltic states have seen equity values rebound strongly as investors have poured back into the markets. The OMX Baltic benchmark, the main measure of the three markets, has gained over 50% since March, putting the Arminta Saladžienė Chairman of the NASDAQ OMX Vilnius Management Board Baltics among the best performing markets in the world this year according to Financial Times (Sept 17, 2009).

NASDAQ OMX’s INET is the common technology utilized across NASDAQ OMX’s U.S. and European markets. INET Nordic, the new trading platform for Nordic and Baltic equities, will enable further improvements in efficiency, reduced latency and increased throughput. With INET Nordic in place by November 30, 2009 in the Baltic markets and Iceland, and by December 7, 2009 in other Nordic countries, all NASDAQ OMX equity markets will trade on the same global trading platform. As part of the INET roll-out, NASDAQ OMX Baltic and Nordic exchanges are implementing new, electronic surveillance technology to strengthen the regulatory systems on their markets. Being part of NASDAQ OMX’s global trading platform will help customers to technically streamline growth in other geo- graphic markets with a single connection, standardized access methods and trading interfaces. The trading platform also brings in a new market model, developed to match today’s Nordic and Baltic market condi- tions as well as the new European trading environment under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, MiFID. The Nordic and Baltic fixed income markets and derivatives are not affected by the move to the new platform. NEW NAMES OF THE NASDAQ OMX BALTIC STOCK EXCHANGES From the beginning of 2009 the legal names of the Baltic stock exchanges in Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius were changed to NASDAQ OMX Tallinn, NASDAQ OMX Riga, and NASDAQ OMX Vilnius. The continu- ing integration of the NASDAQ OMX Group enables the exchanges to better deliver the benefits of a strong global brand to their issu- ers and members and become more visible to investors around the world. It is also proof of the Group’s confidence in the quality of the Baltic exchanges’ service and their compliance with exchange indus- try standards. 8 ExTEndED TRADING HOURS ON settlement, we aim to increase the attractiveness of the Baltic mar- NASDAQ OMX BALTIC MARKET kets and reduce entry costs.

ABSTRACT The paper represents a comparative study of the merger remedies practices of the three Baltic states: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Based on comprehensive merger control data (2004-2011) and a comparative assessment of merger remedies imposed by the NCAs in the selected economic sectors (telecoms, alcoholic beverages, construction materials, trade in pharmaceuticals) the study identifies trends and tendencies of merger control that are characteristic for small market economies. Despite harmonization of national competition laws and enforcement practices with the EU rules and standards, the study highlights an obvious divergence from the EU guidance expressed in increasing acceptance of behavioral commitments. The results of the assessment indicate the need to develop more specific BALTIC JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS ISSN 2029-0454 VOLUME 6, NUMBER 1 2013 guidance on behavioral remedies that would better reflect the merger control realities of small market economies.
