Abstract: With the increased risks of international trade frictions and geopolitical disruptions 
merger control that does not account for such risks may be too lenient. This article 
provides a proposal on how competition authorities should systematically assess 
mergers based on a risk assessment and how they should adjust their market share and 
UPP analysis. The authors also argue that the approach fits well into recent 
developments of merger analyses in the European Union.
