In a final address, @JusticeATR Makan Delrahim says some of the changes recommended by House Judiciary are "quite sensible." DOJ needs more funding for antitrust, and he backs higher filing fees for mergers.
He has six recommendations: 1) Create bright line rules and alter burden of proof for mergers.
“Courts need additional guidance in these cases.” In cases where a company has more than 50 percent market share, burden should be on merging parties for any transaction in that market, he says
DOJ would still have to prove the market definition and the market share of the dominant firm.
