“When putting together these guidelines, we noted that historically the courts have recognized a few ways in which vertical mergers can be lessening competition, including by giving a company key control over critical inputs that its rivals depend upon, but that’s just one way. There are a whole set of other ways that these types of mergers can risk lessening competition and the 13 guidelines are intended to really lay that all out very clearly… Another change that we recently proposed was update the information that merging parties have to provide us when they are proposing a merger and the goal there is to make sure that our agency is able to conduct these investigations much more efficiently and much more effectively, so we don’t have to waste time kind of going back and forth getting information that the parties already have on day one and that we need in order to be able to make our assessment…”

– FTC Chair Lina Khan on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” speaking to the agency’s draft merger guidelines
