May, 2020 - Segolene Leffy
The Vietnam Competition and Consumer Authority has released several documents related to the merger notification regime that was effectively implemented on 15 May 2020, the effective date of Decree 35. As the National Competition Committee has not yet been appointed, the documents clarify that, in accordance with its responsibility under Article 7.2 of the Law on Competition to assist in the administration of competition, the Ministry of Industry and Trade [“MOIT”] has assigned the Department of Competition and Consumer Protection to consider and assess economic concentrations. The documents include the required form of official notification and clarify certain basic elements of the process and procedure for filing notifications. Notifications are to be filed in person, by email or by delivery to the MOIT.
