Austria 2006 Merger Notification

The statute requires mandatory notification, but does not state whether it is pre or post. I've found this secondary source material. It states that the merger cannot take place until clearance, does that imply pre-merger notification?

3.5 At what stage in the transaction timetable can the notification be filed?

Basically a notification can be filed as soon as the parties have agreed on all relevant terms of the transaction. As already mentioned above, the Cartel Act does not set out any deadlines for notification. However, a concentration must not be implemented before clearance.

Hylton: call this pre-merger notification. --AchalOza 10:19, 25 July 2007 (EDT)
