ABA Section of International Law India Committee Presents
Challenges to M&A in India from the New Competition Act
March 11, 2010
10:00 – 11:30 AM ET
8:30 – 10:00 PM IST
TELECONFERENCE
In 2007, India’s Competition (Amendment) Act (“Act’) introduced significant changes to the competition law regime. Most noteworthy of these changes was the introduction of a mandatory notification process for persons undertaking combinations above the prescribed threshold limits. The intent of the Act is to establish merger review and control procedures designed to prevent anticompetitive combinations. The Draft Competition Commission (Combination) Regulations provide a framework for regulation of combinations which include M&A or amalgamations of enterprises. Further, section 6 of the Act prohibits enterprises from entering into agreements that cause or are likely to cause an “appreciable adverse effect on competition within the relevant market in India.” Under the new regime the Competition Commission of India (“CCI”) has investigative powers in relation to a combination. Various factors are examined to determine whether a combination will/is likely to have an “appreciable adverse effect” on competition in India, and sanctions are provided for violations. The recent amendments have significantly changed the review process, and stirred up a significant global controversy. While the merger provisions are not yet in force, relevant provisions will be notified soon. Much has been articulated about the negative impact on M&A activity in India. It is pertinent to examine and evaluate the obstacles to and consequences of such transactional activity. This timely webinar with leading antitrust practitioners from India and worldwide will provide an overview of the Act and its reach, and discuss merger provisions and implications on business with a specific focus on how it might apply to global companies seeking to do business in India.

SAY IT LOUD: South Asians Share Stories for Immigration Reform
The following event has no affiliation with SABA-DC but is being provided as a service to our members. SABA-DC does not necessarily share or endorse the views of the organizations or events listed below.
We need to put names, faces, and stories to the immigration reform debate and we need your help!
This spring, as Congress and the Administration debate immigration reform, SAALT will be collecting video testimonials of immigration struggles and challenges to show how our broken immigration system affects South Asian individuals and families. The US immigration system can be fixed and SAALT is working to effect policy change on a national level. Your stories and experiences with the immigration system can be powerful tools to lend support to immigration reform. Call for immigration reform by answering a simple question:
Why do you believe the US immigration system needs to change?
We are also looking for regional "Community Storytellers" to collect video clips in their community. Community Storytellers will receive an online training, toolkit, and a small stipend.
1. Share Your Story! Think about how you would answer this question: "Why do you believe that the US immigration system needs to change?" Take a short video clip of yourself sharing your story and send it to SAALT. Click here for detailed instructions.
2. Apply to be a Community Storyteller: We are looking for Community Storytellers from around the US to document their community's story by collecting these video clips. If selected, SAALT will provide an online training as well as a small stipend. The approximate time frame for this project is February 15th - March 31st. Click here to apply to be a Community Storyteller - deadline February 15th!
