Order No. 2192 of the Competition Council President of 17 September 2026 implementing the Merger Control Regulation (the “New Regulation”) was published in the Official Gazette No. 834 of 1 October 2026. The New Regulation replaces in its entirety the 2017 Merger control Regulation. The notification thresholds remain unchanged.
