Acording to The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets
(ACM) the merged entity of RTL and Talpa will become too powerful
in the areas of television advertising and the distribution of
television channels. This will lead to price increases for
advertisers and distributors. Eventually, consumers will pay for
these price increases. After an investigation among advertisers and
distributors of television channels, ACM concludes that the
proposed amendments of the transaction between the media companies
RTL and Talpa are insufficient to remove the concern that the
transaction will lead to the creation of a dominant position.
