Introduction to Merger Controls in Taiwan

Fair Trade Act (“FTA”) governs the merger control regime in Taiwan, which governs not only a domestic merger, but also an extraterritorial merger. Therefore, except a domestic merger, if an extraterritorial merger will have a direct, substantial, and reasonably foreseeable effect on Taiwan market, a report of merger must also be submitted to the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission (“TFTC”).
