clears Oracle’s takeover bid for PeopleSoft
“high-function” HR and FMS software market is
established as separate (like DOJ [not supported by the Court]) and focusing on
bidding history through econometric tests, Commission concluded that
merged company will not affect competition; in addition, coordinated effects
were considered to be implausible because of the heterogeneity of the products,
the asymmetries in the market shares of the different players and the lack of
price transparency

recommendations presented and BBC will reply until the end of November; concerning
the market impact report, measures should be considered to provide more
certainty to commercial investors about the present and future remit (Tim

Postal Service v.
Flamingo Industries (USA) Ltd. 540 U.S. ---- (2004)
Postal Service is, in both form and function, not a separate
antitrust person from the United States but is part of the Government and so is
not controlled by the antitrust laws; the fact that the Postal Service operates
some nonpostal lines of business beyond the scope of its mail monopoly and
universal service obligation does not alter this conclusion; 302 F. 3d 985
reversed [insisted that limited immunity from antitrust liability].
