On 18 March 2025, two Members of the Dutch Parliament issued a legislative proposal (initiatiefwet) granting the Dutch Authority Consumers and Markets (ACM) the competence to call in transactions below the turnover threshold. Under the proposal, the call-in power would generally apply to any transaction that could, according to the ACM, result in a significant impediment to competition. The legislative proposal is subject to public consultation until 18 April 2025. Parliamentary deliberations will commence following the conclusion of the public consultation and a review of the proposal by the Council of State. The adoption process will therefore still take months to complete.
