Khan Huddles With Kanter, Vestager in Brussels

FTC Chair Lina Khan and DOJ Antitrust Division Chief Jonathan Kanter met in Brussels Thursday with European Commission Executive Vice President-Competition Policy Margrethe Vestager to discuss the upcoming U.S. merger guidelines update (see 2206210071) and other antitrust topics, the FTC announced. They met while participating in the second meeting of the U.S.-EU Joint Technology Competition Policy Dialogue. The FTC described it as a “high-level” discussion on topics including “the importance of horizon scanning to identify key technologies and issues that may raise competition concerns in the future” and the “adoption of effective remedies in digital cases.” Khan said in a statement: “Deepening our partnership and exchanging insights with our European colleagues can help ensure that our enforcement practices and policies reflect modern market realities.” Kanter and Vestager said they anticipate continued collaboration, particularly on the tech sector.
